I think nothing illustrates the mainstream media “fake news” (but also Trumps deficiencies) better than “bleachgate” (not sure if that terms been used before).
Anyways, I scream at the screen everytime I hear someone say “Trump suggested people go and ingest bleach” He didn’t. He asked that the scientists to look at bleach (and UV rays) as potential ways of treating COVID. Now whilst its good to have a inquisitive president open to new solutions, it also demonstrated a very basic lack of understanding of science, and perhaps an error in judgment talking about it publicly. But there’s a big difference between suggesting Scientists look at it and people start using it. (IIRC the phrase he used was “we should look into that” or something similar).
By the way, I’ve looked at enough Trump speeches and pressers - and worst of all his tweets - to form my own negative opinion of what the guy stands for, but you can also see how the media (both the pro and anti Trump media) manipulate what he is saying and doing to further their own agenda.
