Are you serious?...
The media and Dems (BIRM) implicitly or explicitly blamed Trump for every COVID death while simultaneously touting Cuomo as having heroically saved the day. He was their foil for Trump. In reality, Trump took the better approach (after initial stumbles with his 15-days-to-stop-the-spread miscue) while the Cuomo admin's decisions were directly responsible for thousands of deaths (a scandal exacerbated by the subsequent cover up of it).
Had the media reported on COVID honestly with the goal of informing the public, it would have noted that:
1) People were dying all over the place regardless of what mitigation efforts were put in place
2) Dem governor/admins (Cuomo, Whitmer, etc.) made bad decisions that directly led to excess deaths, while Trump did not
3) There were massive and destructive costs associated with mitigation efforts (such as the inflation we are seeing today) and any true national leader -- Trump, in this case -- needed to balance those rather than focus exclusively on some fantasyland Zero COVID policy. Instead, we got COVID fear porn 24/7.
