OP is doing exactly what he claims is the problem. He's picking and choosing links and completely ignoring timelines and facts. Sure, New York EVENTUALLY got 4,400 ventilators AFTER they went public and called out the federal government on the original offer of 400. Normally I would give him the benefit of the doubt that he just didn't do proper research, but then when I see him making claims like "the lines are blurred between the media and the Democratic party" I just assume he's acting in bad faith and knows full well that the ventilators weren't released until after the negative press.
