At least eight New York Times authors shared a deceptively edited quote Monday from President Donald Trump’s recent call with state governors, creating the false impression that the president is denying federal support for ventilators that are needed in hospitals treating c****av***s patients.
Mr. Trump told a group of governors they should not wait for the federal government to fill the growing demand for respirators needed to help people diagnosed with c****av***s.
"Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves," Mr. Trump told the governors during the conference call, a recording of which was shared with The New York Times.
Trump's a bad man, right? Wrong. This is yet another example of the media's despicable ongoing attacks against Trump. In other words, it's f**e news.
It turns out that the New York Times was engaged in a lie by omission — something that, at common law, is every bit as wrong as an affirmative fraud. Here's what Trump actually said (emphasis added):
Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves. We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.
Thus, Trump told the governors to get ventilators in the fastest, best way, rather than to be dependent on the slow-moving federal government. That's a good thing. It's not hypocritical, cruel, or incompetent.
The media are currently outraged that Republicans are less panicked by the c****av***s than Democrats are. Part of that may be because Democrats are ruled more by emotion than by reason. A lot of it, though, is because Republicans have no reason to trust the media.
