Long as they let me have it. But having been on the air this long, i can tell you even in these weird times, there is sort of a constant i can describe to you. One thing that has progressed steadily and without change since i have been doing this, and its this shift that has happened in the news environment in which we work. Its that our friends and colleagues in the conservative media over the years, they have become more and more their own thing. Like i said, ive been doing this for more than a decade. At the beginning of me doing this show, i think it was fair to think of our friends at the Fox News Channel and conservative talk radio and in other conservative media i think it was sort of fair at that time to think of at least most of them as our, like, legit professional rivals. They were people who were coming at the news from a very pronounced rightwing view, perhaps a very partisan proRepublican Party view, but at least we were all doing the same kind of work. At least we were a
Since i had been doing this. And its this shift that has happened in the news environment in which we work.

They were people who were coming at the news from a very pronounced right wing view, perhaps a very partisan prorepublican party view, but at least we were all doing the same kind of work, at least we were all covering the same stuff. Thats how it started when i started doing this business. Started working in this business. But over this past decade or so, steadily, that has decreased. Year after year. To the point where now
It. That was a little bit of what it looked like today in the rain in downtown washington, d. C. As a long line of cars processed pretty slowly from the white house down through the streets of d. C. , slowly all in a line with their hazards flashing. But this was different for a couple of reasons. Number one, they were honking for the most part. And number two, they were not going to a cemetery. They were going to President Trumps downtown washington, d. C. Hotel. You can see the signs on some of the cars, trump lies, people die. And then you can see the body bags. People got out of those vehicles and laid body bags at the threshold of President Trumps hotel. Trump lies, people die. This was a protest today in washington. Those arent real body bags but they are meant to symbolize the thousands of americans who have died. The u. S. Death toll from coronavirus as of today is staggering. As of today, 48,902 americans have been killed. And thats just over the course of about a month. For w
Yourself, you have definitely seen them on the road, a line of car, regular peoples cars but everyone driving slowly, often times everybody puts their flashers on, their hazard lights, to let you know that they are part of a funeral procession. If you havent been in one of those, you have definitely seen it. That was a little bit of what it looked like today in the rain, in downtown washington, d.

Containing the virus and protecting americans, President Trump is now going to try to lie to you about the death toll. It was only, of course, a matter of time before it reached this point but here is the headline. Team trump pushes centers for Disease Control to push down the covid death counts. The white house pressed the cdc to work with states to change how they count coronavirus deaths and report back to the federal government and dr. Debra birx, the coordinator of the administrations task force urged cdc officials to exclude from coronavirus death count reporting some of those individuals who either did not have confirmed lab results and are presumed positive or who will have the virus and may not have died as a direct result of it. President s task force is pressuring the cdc and state officials to change the met tri ricks they use to count deaths so they are lower. This is despite the fact the tabulated, counted deaths we have are under counted. It hard to find an expert that l
