The thing is Trump isn't even particularly relevant to the vast majority of the stories, even when it's the federal govt screwing up. But reddit posters are constantly making it about him. The moderators do try to prevent the worst of political posting to their credit. What's so ironic about foxnews viewers being victims? They aren't panicking appropriately enough or something? I just glanced at their website and it didn't seem particularly slanted on the topic. Looks like they have multiple coronavirus stories coming out every hour. One can easily freak out if so inclined.

"What's so ironic about foxnews viewers being victims?" Trump has played down the potential of this and has been primarily concerned about keeping the stock market frothing and the counts artificially low. He also called it a hoax, the guy he just gave the presidential medal called it the common cold, he is an anti-vaxxer, etc. His entire administration has to spend their day doing absurd deflection to tell you how great the clothes are that the empower is wearing and to continually reframe everything to make whatever idiotic thing Trump said last not seem quite as stupid. The surgeon general - a fit man in his 40s - just went on TV to announce that Trump — a sedentary obese fast food fanatic in his 70s — is fitter than him. We've seen a parade of these absolutely depraved displays, where people who once were credible completely debase themselves to ensure the emporer's ego is massaged. These are extraordinary times and it is ironic that Trump’s hubris, ego, anti-intellectualism, and his circle of profoundly unqualified rats are going to hit the demographic that put him in power the hardest. And every time Trump talks, the market collapses. He is very close to the worst possible person to be in that position during a crisis.
