I have to agree with what New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said about the media.....
Gov. Cuomo Is Blaming the New York Times for His Own Coronavirus Mistakes

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has an answer for critics who say the state didn’t react to the novel coronavirus quickly enough: Blame The New York Times.
Over the past several days, the governor has repeatedly used his press conferences to take shots at the self-described “Paper of Record,” lumping the publication in with other official organizations that were slow to react to the spread of COVID-19.
“Where were all the experts?” Cuomo said during a press conference earlier this week. “Where was The New York Times? Where was the Wall Street Journal? Where was all the bugle blowers who should say, ‘Be careful, there’s a virus in China that may be in the United States.’”
On Thursday, the governor got more specific. When asked about his response to critics who said other states were quicker to adopt measures to curb the spread of the virus, Cuomo instead said the paper’s editorial writers should be blamed along with other organizations including the Centers for Disease Control that supposedly did not sound the alarms early enough about the dangers of the virus.
“They didn’t write an editorial saying I should close down until after I closed down, right?” he complained.
“Where was The New York Times editorial board?” Cuomo continued moments later. “Everybody missed it. Governors don’t do global pandemics, that’s not in my job description.”
