Sign if you agree: Trump press briefings are a daily circus of lies & misinformation

Friend, [sign the petition to news outlets: Send medical—not political—reporters to cover White House briefings on coronavirus.]( [Sign the petition]( Donald Trump's briefings at the White House on COVID-19 are a daily circus of lies and misinformation—right when the public, in a time of crisis, deserves the simple truth. Many media outlets insist on [broadcasting it live](, which only makes it worse. And they also insist on sending political reporters, who focus the questions on Trump—which results in [outlandish ideas]( like a quarantine on New York, and ending social isolation by Easter. The press should instead [send medical reporters](, who will ask medical experts fact-based questions about the coronavirus—and what the government is doing to contain it. That would give the public practical information they can use to survive during this crisis. [Sign if you agree: News outlets must send health reporters—not political journalists—to cover the COVID-19 press briefings at the White House.]( [Sign the petition]( More than 3,000 Americans have now died of COVID-19 (more than on September 11th), so we have a public health emergency on our hands. A public health emergency means that we need press coverage that focuses on the illness, what effective means are being done to contain its spread & what sound advice the public can take to protect themselves. This is no time for political fireworks. Human lives are at stake. The media needs to stop obsessing about TV ratings, and focus on getting us through this crisis.
