Why are we still doing this? At what point to these news organization just stop parroting whatever state-run media in China is telling them? Anyway, that day is not today. Via ABC News:

BREAKING: Wuhan, where the coronavirus outbreak began, no longer has any patients hospitalized with COVID-19, China's state-run media organization Xinhua reported. https://t.co/jC88WnyBoQ — ABC News (@ABC) April 26, 2020

“Sounds like Chinese propaganda” to us, too:

This is like a child getting his hand burnt on the stove for the 19th time:

If there's one thing we've learned from this pandemic, it's that China state-run media is always telling the truth https://t.co/k0b2NBxEBE — Greg Price (@greg_price11) April 26, 2020

Well, at least they acknowledged it started in Wuhan:

A) Just a couple of weeks ago it journalists were calling it racist to acknowledge #coronavirus started in Wuhan, China. Guess that only applies to when a Republican says it B) Chinese state-run media might be the only organization with less credibility than the US media…maybe https://t.co/Vhg1cjp1Wq — Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) April 26, 2020

“Do better guys”:

This is like letting Maduro report Venezuela’s election results. Do better guys. https://t.co/bPgSXx7aHD — Ana Rosa Quintana (@ana_r_quintana) April 26, 2020

More blowback:
