Every single journalist in the video Paul Graham linked was on Fox News/Fox Business.

The video appears that it was put together by the folks at The Daily Show. You really think they went looking for clips from the "other side?"

  Is the a similar video with other news stations and their similarly incorrect reporting?

  Should be easy to do if it's as equivalent as you're assuming, no?

The NYC health commissioner was saying to go outside and take the subway Feb 7th, 4 days after Trump's China ban went into effect. https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1243539189020401664?s=20 https://twitter.com/tomselliott/status/1243539189020401664?s... Literally everyone was saying it's not as bad as the Flu. I don't see why we're playing the blame game in the peak of things. I could definitely tell you WHO (China) is to blame, but now isn't the time.

  I'm curious as to why you think China is to blame for American politicians ignoring precautions and prioritizing their own wealth over the well-being of their citizens?
  - s_y_n_t_a_x 6y ago
    Because China covered it up and misled the experts.
    - xenyal 6y ago
      Actually, China was thought to have covered it up because the whistleblower originally sent a message[1] to a WeChat group of his, telling group members that 7 people from the wet markets had been diagnosed with SARS. The government had no idea what it was and I'm sure nobody in the world knew what it was at the time, hence how it's a novel virus.

Could that be caused by the fact that compilation authors are clearly on Dem side? Trump's travel ban was called racist by whom? (I'm also an outsider.)

Late-night satire shows are not politically unbiased, nor do they attempt to be. They cater to their audience, the same way those who they satirize do.
