What biased reporting. a jab at the president wherever you can, about the virus, his wall, etc .
Why don’t you just report the facts and leave your biased and nasty comments out of it. We see right through you. Perhaps you are paid by Soros like the rest of your leftist clan. Oh I forgot you are AOL or Huffington Post or both. Both biased, unwelcome sources of info. I’d rather get my facts from a dog on the street than your column. Wake up. We are wise to you.
Trump 2020 and you better get used to it.
Tara take your leftist mayor with you. She’s for illegals because she is probably one herself.
Then don’t read, sweetie.
Karen, this reporter was only stating the facts? Do you want them to lie about Trump’s behaviors just to make him look good? It should be Trump’s responsibility to protect American citizens. Anyone who thinks that he’s doing a good job of handling the pandemic is living in a bubble out of touch with reality
Karen- your anger reveals much about the anxiety and fear within you. It’s going to be ok. Turn off the media for a while, sleep well, some yoga, and love your neighbor. Other view points are worth listening too. Once we are not afraid of the truth we can feel joy and live our best lives in compassion and harmony with each other. Best to you with a warm heart.
Tera half this post has nothing to do with the virus update…. Who approved this like the first 25 words was about the virus the rest was a rant…. Regardless of who you take jabs at I don’t support this behavior it’s not ok and I will not support this. Write the news not the jabs.
Wtf is this statement?
