'Scare tactic': Limbaugh says media are using their climate change playbook on coronavirus reporting

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh compared the coronavirus to climate change and accused federal health officials and the national media of using a global pandemic to scare American citizens.

“It seems like every day we get some new scare tactic from some supposedly credible source,” Limbaugh said on his nationally syndicated program Thursday. “And what generally happens is after some reporting of what everybody would consider good news, in less than a day, a couple of stories come along, maybe three, that try to throw cold water on the good news and make it sound even worse than it was the day before — and that’s what this is.”
