It must be like fighting a headwind to do the right thing in this administration.

Good for him. From what I understand, Governor DeWine of Ohio (R) is also doing an excellent job.

Just so much wasted time and energy required every day by govt officials, top scientists, politicians, reporters, entire media having to deal with the dangerous lies and mistakes perpetrated by Trump.

That was after his whole panel said the equivalent of “WTF did I just see?”

I imagine it’ll pop up soon.

He's not my favorite person but he is a competent journalist. I liked that he has problems with this daily BS.

that staffers at MSNBC and CNN want their bosses to allow them to cut away when Trump's spouting BS or break away after the career civil servants have spoken.

too much free airtime. And now they're replicating the exact same mistake by airing these "you're a great leader" "briefings" under the guise that they are somehow informative about Covid-19. They HAVE to stop taking them live and give us a synopsis of what was newsworthy and factual. Nothing else. It should take them about 3 sentences.

They realized the "free time" they gave away then - and that wasn't even to an elected official! It was in their "best interest" to keep the race "close" so that they would draw the daily attention.
So, what are they doing now?

CNN and MSNBC need to not show it live. Just give us any facts - should take about 10 seconds.

Better yet, show a replay of Cuomo’s press conference whenever Trump is on.

...in addition to the usual praise of his gestapo.

This has been noticeably absent since the beginning.
