You have to wonder why did he said all of those specific things. Do you think he made them all up on the spot?

Those things he said line up with their programming (the death toll counters, etc.).

It's wild to me that people think there was some big anti-Trump effort with Covid news -- there were 3,300 people per day dying of the disease in January, now there are 1/4th - 1/5th as many. Maybe, just maybe, that's why the news has changed focus?

There were a lot fewer people per day dying last September than today, but CNN's death clock was 24/7 then.
