The Coronavirus pandemic has taken the world by storm.
It’s always important to take any virus outbreak seriously, especially pandemics like this. We can’t be blase and fluff it off. We need to be diligent and follow the instructions from the CDC to a tee.
Remember back in 2009 when Swine Flu swept the globe? Scientists now estimate that over 200 thousand people worldwide died from H1N1.
However, the curious thing now in comparison to the 2009 Swine Flu outbreak is the difference in media coverage.
The media saturation and hysteria over Coronavirus eclipses anything we saw with H1N1 and Sars (combined). Why is that?

Well, part of the reason is that social media has changed a lot since 2009 – and for good and bad we now have a lot more independent news outlets and “citizen journalists.”
But many suspect that one of the main reasons for the 24/7 hysterical coverage is because the entire left sees this as yet another opportunity to “destroy” President Trump as we head into the 2020 election.
So the usual cast of characters are politicizing the virus in order to push their anti-Trump narrative and this could be the biggest push yet to try and take down President Trump.
Conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly sees what’s happening and how the media and the left are manipulating Americans and causing a massive “freak out” and he’s taking a stand.

O’Reilly took to Twitter where he told his followers that he’s keeping a list of irresponsible politicians, journalists, and pundits who are using the virus for political reasons and he’s asking you to help him.
Keeping a list of irresponsible politicians, journalists and pundits who are using the virus for political purposes. Who've you got?

Thank you, Bill, for doing this. This is how we fight back against this dangerous propaganda media. We call them out and hold them responsible and further destroy their credibility.
The media has successfully whipped the country into a frenzy. There are people out there who truly believe the entire country is about to turn into the “Walking Dead.”
Our media truly is the enemy of the people.
Be safe and listen to the CDC, but don’t get hysterical. Hysteria does nothing to help a situation, it only makes it worse.
