Jonathan Turley slams media for 'unrelentingly negative spin' on Trump coronavirus response

Constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley criticized national media outlets for reporting what he claims is a misrepresentation of President Trump’s remarks about when Americans can expect to see the U.S. economy reopen after the coronavirus crisis.

“CNN is running a headline that Trump ‘now’ claims Easter was aspirational,” Turley said. “I have criticized Trump statements but he never said Easter was a firm deadline as opposed to his hope. The unrelentingly negative spin on stories makes it difficult for viewers to trust the media.”
