A CBS reporter screeches at Trump – but she’s wrong about her facts
CBS’s Paula Reid was on fire during Monday’s Presidential task force press conference about COVID-19. She started by demeaning Dr. Fauci by asking him a question that implied he’s either hostage to or a puppet of President Trump. That was just a warm-up. Later in the press conference, she started shrieking at President Trump that a video he had shown earlier in the press conference misrepresented his affirmative response to COVID-19 because it implied that he was on top of things in February.
A visibly irritated Trump answered that, in fact, he had taken many steps during February to respond to COVID-19, but CBS's disrespectful little harridan wouldn’t let up. Aside from being a disgraceful way to talk to the leader of the most powerful nation on earth (if you don’t respect the man, at least respect the office), Reid was completely wrong in her assertion. In other words, she wasn’t a powerful woman taking on a tyrant, she was a shrill Karen being disrespectful to a President of the United States who’s been working hard to protect the American people:

This is not Reids’ first fake news moment when it comes to Trump. She was also one of the reporters who promoted the media’s claim that violence in Charlottesville was all about “white supremacists” attacking innocent people. An honest reporter would have acknowledged that it was a clash between combatants – white supremacists on one side; Black Lives Matter and Antifa on the other. You can see her here, the perfect Karen, attacking Trump for daring to say that there was ugliness on both sides, even as she worked hard to downplay Antifa's and BLM's role.
Anti-Trumpers, of course, didn’t care about the facts nor about respect for the office. They simply liked seeing a shrieking leftist shrew hurling lies at the Republican President of the United States:
@PaulaReidCBS Ms. Reid, you are one heck of a reporter. Thank you for what you do. And keep doing it. Keep pushing this ignorant fuck living in the people’s house.

The impeccable @PaulaReidCBS is a bad ass. The Orange Menace is an imbecile. For the record, Ms. Reid was the reporter on the ground at #Charlottesville when the racist #riots riots broke out. She held the imbecile's feet to the fire then too. His orange face broke red. https://t.co/EqTZYJ3oIG

Ms Reid, your journalism today should be a benchmark for all reporters to meet, and exceed. I was SO glad when someone finally just put pressure on him, not let him wriggle out, but answer the question as asked.

I am sorry he needlessly bullied you, or anyone.@PaulaReidCBS
For leftists, the truth is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the narrative – and here, the narrative is that a brave young reporter held the President’s feet to the fire, exposing his many lies. A reporter from Pravda or the Chinese People’s Daily couldn’t have done a better job.
