Actress Jane Lynch Pleads To Have Trump Briefings Taken Off Air: ‘Please. Please.’

On Monday, actress Jane Lynch pleaded for news organization to refuse to air White House press briefings from President Donald Trump as we fight the China-originated novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.

During the president’s briefings, vital information about COVID-19 is communicated to the public from Trump, yes, but also from medical health professionals like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx.

“Please stop covering Trump’s briefing/rallies,” pleaded Lynch. “Please. Please.”

Some news originations are apparently on the same page as the Emmy winner. For example, CNN cut away during a Trump presser on Monday when the president announced “My Pillow” CEO Mike Lindell will be producing 50,000 N95 masks a day, starting Friday.

The New York Times has floated the idea of networks refusing to air the vital Trump briefings, too, citing “misinformation.”

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said earlier this month, “I would stop putting those briefings on live TV — not out of spite, but because it’s misinformation.”

As noted by the Times, anchor Ted Koppel suggested Trump and seemingly the medical professionals alongside him need to be fact-checked live.

“Training a camera on a live event, and just letting it play out, is technology, not journalism; journalism requires editing and context,” Koppel said in an email to the Times. “I recognize that presidential utterances occupy a unique category. Within that category, however, President Trump has created a special compartment all his own.”

“The question, clearly, is whether his status as president of the United States obliges us to broadcast his every briefing live,” he added. “No. No more so than you at The Times should be obliged to provide your readers with a daily, verbatim account.”

Moreover, as noted by The Daily Wire last week, Seattle radio station KUOW, which is a part National Public Radio (NPR), said they would not air White House briefings concerning COVID-19 because they exhibited a “pattern of false or misleading information.”

“KUOW is monitoring White House briefings for the latest news on the coronavirus — and we will continue to share all news relevant to Washington State with our listeners,” the station posted via Twitter, last Tuesday. “However, we will not be airing the briefings live due to a pattern of false or misleading information provided that cannot be fact checked in real time.”

Responding to the tweet, White House spokesperson Judd Deere told The Hill: “It’s not surprising, but also a failure of their duty to the American people, that some media outlets would choose to block their audiences from receiving accurate, up-to-date information on President Trump’s whole-of-government approach to slowing the spread of COVID-19 … no other Administration has been as transparent and as accessible as this one, and we will continue to make sure this nation hears from its leaders and top health experts during this global pandemic.”

Lynch has long been critical of President Trump. In 2016, the actress called Trump a “bully.”

“That whole ‘I can do this and I can do that. And we’re gonna destroy this and we’re gonna destroy that.’ And then he gets all of these people going ‘Yeah! Yeah,’” she said, adding that Americans want to “hang out with the bully.”

“They see the bully on the playground who’s saying ‘I’m gonna make sure nobody kicks your (expletive),’” Lynch added.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
