'Maybe the media don't cover it fairly': Kellyanne Conway says media to blame for Trump coronavirus

Last edited Sat May 23, 2020, 06:51 PM - Edit history (1)

Top White House aide Kellyanne Conway argued the media's coverage of President Trump's handling of the coronavirus could be the reason behind his declining poll numbers.

Trump's poll numbers regarding his administration's response to the pandemic have gone down as the crisis has continued. In a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll that was conducted between Wednesday and Thursday and surveyed 733 people in the United States, 39% of respondents said they approve of the way Trump has dealt with the crisis, while 60% disapproved. The approval rating is a steady drop from where the same poll had him in March, 55%, and April, 44%.

Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked Conway about the president's "underwater" numbers from the ABC News/Ipsos poll during an interview Friday night, which is when the adviser to the president alleged the media may be responsible.

"I don’t think anybody likes dealing with a global pandemic, and the president himself has said that the loss of life is so devastating to each and every one of us, that one precious life lost is one too many," she said. "Having said that, let’s review what the president has done. Maybe the media don’t cover it fairly and completely, and many times, but look at what he has done, things only a president can do."

Or maybe it's the fact there are nearly 97,000 dead and likely to be more. Add to that the Trump administration has been rather inept in dealing with the problem. Instead of sympathy for those departed or suffering from the pandemic we've heard a lot of lame excuses.

It's pretty hard to polish that turd.

And certainly don’t believe MF45 dropped the ball and “F”ed up the response.

The numbers are what they are. Reporting numbers is not taking a side, fair or unfair.
And, Kellyanne, know when PINOs numbers started to slide.
When he was spending 2 hours a day on multiple networks self-immolating by not getting in public, and "me, me, me" ing the whole thing!
Know what the media did during those f#$% tests. Nothing.
They just showed them live & your boss screwed the pooch.
55% approval to 39% in 7 weeks.
This is your fault & your bosses' fault. Dimwit performance artist.

They aren't covering him fairly. We will soon be at 100,000 dead. The media should be calling for trump to fucking resign, all day, every day. You make big bucks lying for your boss and covering up his insane bullshit. So please, very kindly fuck off. When you're done doing that, fuck off again.

His approval would stand at about twelve percent, and Kellyanne knows damn well that's the truth.
