(Right Country) – It’s no surprise that the mainstream media will do whatever they can to try to blame Trump for whatever the outrage du jour is.

So their coverage of the novel Covid-19 virus that has the whole world talking (and preparing) is no different.

On Wednesday evening, CBS Evening News slammed the president for supposedly doing very little to prevent infected people from coming into the country.

Let that sink in.

Now they’re upset that Trump isn’t securing our borders enough? Good grief!

They referred to clips of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top immunologist, in an effort to support their claims.

“If we are complacent and don’t do really aggressive containment and mitigation the number could go way up and be involved in many, many millions,” Dr. Fauci said in the clip while addressing Congress on the White House’s plan to control the outbreak.

“How much worse we’ll get will depend on our ability to do two things: To contain the influx of people who are infected coming from the outside, and the ability to contain and mitigate within our own country,” he replied.

Clearly, the doctor was calling for increased travel restrictions or even an outright ban, CBS was trying to use this as evidence that the response to the global virus update had been underwhelming.

Then, just 24 hours later, CBS flipped around, attacking Trump for issuing travel restrictions!

No kidding.

“President Trump’s ban on some travel from Europe announced in Wednesday night’s Oval Office address has led to confusion from U.S. carriers, a backlash from U.S. allies, and panic at European airports,” anchor Norah O’Donnell declared.

Later on, CBS senior national security analyst Fran Townsend was brought on the program to try to cast the ban in a bad light.

She claimed that it was simply too little, too late.

You know full well that if he’d imposed a stricter, earlier ban, these same people would have lost their minds!

“Travel bans are most effective before there is a widespread infection next rate inside the borders of the country,” she said. “And so this sort of travel restriction would have been most effective earlier on.” Townsend admitted, allowing that the ban wasn’t “meaningless.”

When O’Donnell was given to speak with Fauci herself, she asked him to comment on the “failing” testing system.

“What I was referring to at the hearing was that the system of testing was originally designed for a doctor-patient type of interaction where you go into a doctor’s office or a clinic with symptoms and the reason you want a test is either you’ve been exposed or you have symptoms,” Dr. Fauci explained.

“That goes to a public health laboratory that the CDC made the test for. It works very well for that, but what it doesn’t work for is if you want to do broad, blanket type of screening to answer the question that so many people are asking, how many people in this country are infected. That system now is going to be up and running I would imagine really quite soon, probably in a week,” he continued.

O’Donnell followed up by asked if it will be “too late” by the time the system is functional.

Fauci hit back at this idea.

“No, I don’t think too late,” he responded. “But what we can do right now is the kind of, what we call both containment and mitigation. Those are the things you do to stop spread. So, therefore I don’t like to say it’s too late. It’s certainly not too late.”
