Jeremy Diamond of CNN

You know what would make Trump do a better job? If someone finally really pinned Trump down on specific goals. For instance, how many masks and Covid-19 tests he'll get this week.

Jeremy Diamond of CNN has direct access to Trump and top officials. All he'd have to do is ask them simple questions like "how many tests will you get to New Jersey this week?"

That's just eleven words, but Diamond refuses to ask it. Instead, he just plays cheap partisan political games that only help Trump. Trump is eager to play politics too. The last thing Trump wants is to be really pressed to commit to specific goals.

Diamond isn't just helping Trump, he also spreads misinformation. For one example, in a May 19, 2020 segment he falsely stated that multiple studies have shown that hydroxychloroquine is ineffective at a preventative for Coronavirus. In fact, no such studies have completed [1], [2]. Diamond and CNN want to portray that drug in a negative light because Trump promotes it, making it more difficult for scientists to determine if it's effective [3].

Please contact Diamond and suggest that instead of promoting unscientific misinformation, he finally acts like a real reporter and really presses Trump to commit to specific goals.

O’Neill, MD, "medical director of the Center for Structural Heart Disease at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and one of the organizers of the WHIP COVID-19 study" as saying: "The question then is: Would hydroxychloroquine, given prophylactically, prevent COVID-19 infection? There was no literature and no data on this."

[3] From nytimes · com/2020/05/19/us/politics/hydroxychloroquine-trump-coronavirus.html: "In a draft letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association, obtained by The New York Times, members of a research consortium complained that “negative media coverage” of hydroxychloroquine — in particular the studies showing it might have harmed hospitalized patients — “directly correlated” with a drop in enrollment in trials run by institutions including the University of Minnesota, the University of Washington, Columbia University in New York and Henry Ford Hospital."
