Journalists attending the White House Daily Briefing of the national health emergency should be drilling Trump on his actions across the spectrum, including lies he tells the American public.
Dr. Redfield clarified that the Washington Post did not quote him wrong. The only criticism by Redfield was that he didn't work his message well. No apology, of course, with a clarification of his concerns and focus. How were we to know it was a statement to drive Americans to take the flu shot to reduce the impact of the annual flu?
Someone or the entire room should have demanded Trump to apologize to the Washington Post for lying about the reporting of Dr. Redfield's concerns for the autumn in the USA. IMMEDIATELY WITH VIBRANT OPPOSITION THAT CAN RESULT IN BEING THROWN OUT OF THE ROOM. Then continue reporting the obvious lies of Trump. Put Bezos in the room with his journalist and he can call Trump a liar.
Jeff Bezos should wear a mask to ensure he isn't effected by Trump's non-symptomatic infection.
Why is he allowed to get away with this?
FOX News is the truly Fake News network.
Jeff Bezos should sue Trump for defamation and FOX News for endangering the American people. Include the FCC and whoever is running the agency at the moment, too.
The list of people that need to be made whole again by Trump's antics is getting longer. Now, it is not only a USA Navy Captain, it is also the director of an agency that was working to save American lives. I am afraid the Congress is going to have to legislate the return of these people back into their jobs. We can't achieve an end to this virus without Dr. Bright. It won't happen for the USA otherwise.
Trump is such a liar and his lies are killing Americans. And don't forget the infotainment industry that foments the lies Trump tells. Why isn't FOX News considered an essential company? Health directors in every state can demand the disinformation to stop and remove them from the airwaves if necessary. People are dying because of the lies the right-wing is fomenting.

...Two Rwandan journalists (click here) have been sentenced to life in prison and a third to 35 years for their roles in fuelling the 1994 genocide in which 800,000 Tutsis and Hutus were murdered.
The sentencing ends a landmark three-year trial that highlighted what became known as the "hate media" during the tragic period in the African country's history.
The international criminal tribunal for Rwanda, which is being held in Tanzania, heard how the media played a major role in inciting extremists from the Hutu majority to carry out the 100-day slaughter of ethnic Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus....

The director of the office (click here) involved in developing a coronavirus vaccine says he was abruptly dismissed from his post in part because he resisted efforts to widen the availability of a coronavirus treatment pushed by President Donald Trump.
Dr. Rick Bright had led BARDA, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, since 2016 until Tuesday, when was reassigned to a narrower position. He also announced he will file a whistleblower complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general.
"I believe this transfer was in response to my insistence that the government invest the billions of dollars allocated by Congress to address the Covid-19 pandemic into safe and scientifically vetted solutions, and not in drugs, vaccines and other technologies that lack scientific merit," Bright said in a lengthy statement issued Wednesday. "I am speaking out because to combat this deadly virus, science -- not politics or cronyism -- has to lead the way."
He cited "clashes with political leadership" as a reason for his sidelining, as well as his resistance to "efforts to fund potentially dangerous drugs promoted by those with political connections."...
