Don't call them "coronavirus briefings".

If 90% of the "briefing" is given to Donald Trump to spread lies and political propaganda.

Unless the doctors and the "experts" are given at least half of the time to speak, it should not be called a "coronavirus briefing".

Words matter.

We do not need any more of the "alternate reality". We are already up to our eyeballs with the lies and bullshit.

tit for tat with every piece of nonsense spewed out by rump, that is, for every 5 falsehoods, have Biden directly counter w/ the facts on 1 falsehood while online, his supporters will counter w/ the facts on the other four falsehoods. Truth vs. rump or the Truth by Biden series.

I sincerely wish CNN and MSNBC would cut out of these briefings unless a doctor or scientist is speaking.
