The media knows exactly what it's doing

Did he really call the coronavirus a hoax? I might, buty what Trump actually said is that the Democrats’ criticism of his administration’s response to Kung Flu is a hoax, a follow-up to their failed Russian collusion hoax. And he’s right, as demonstrated by the post immediately preceding this one, but the Democrat operators with bylines knows that it’s headlines that control, and they're making sure that their headlines serve the purposes of their masters.

Here’s what he said:

Trump told a rally in North Charleston, South Carolina, that Democrats want him to fail and argued that steps he has taken so far have kept cases to a minimum and prevented virus deaths in the U.S.   

In response to the hysteria he said: 'A virus that starts in China, bleeds its way into various countries all around the world, doesn't spread widely at all in the United States because of the early actions that myself and my administration took, against a lot of other wishes, and the Democrats' single talking point, and you see it, is that it's Donald Trump's fault.'   

'They tried the impeachment hoax. ... This is their new hoax,' Trump said of Democratic denunciations of his administration's coronavirus response. 

And here’s how the media presented those remarks to its sheeple:

Law Professor Anne Althous has also picked up on this ugly tactic: The Deceptiveness of Politico’s Claim that Trump Called Coronavirus a "Hoax”. Politico, however, went full Daily Mirror and edited his words, rather than merely limiting itself to a deceptive headline.
