Recently the United States passed China with the most recorded coronavirus deaths. That is, if you believe China, which the liberal media clearly does. The fake news industry also took great glee in that suspect stat because they think it makes President Trump look bad. Marco Rubio called the media out for this bit of horribleness and ABC’s Jonathan Karl is demanding the Florida Senator apologize for telling the truth about his shit profession.
Want to create outrage on the left? Just follow Marco Rubio’s lead and say something true:
Some in our media can’t contain their glee & delight in reporting that the U.S. has more #CoronaVirus cases than #China
Beyond being grotesque,its bad journalism
We have NO IDEA how many cases China really has but without any doubt its significantly more than why they admit to

ABC News chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl was furious and demanded Rubio name names:
Who are you talking about, Senator Rubio? Who feels “glee & delight” when more people are sick? Who? https://t.co/aIVdYQhXaW

Karl then went on The View to bitch some more and demanded an apology:
.@jonkarl calls for Sen. Marco Rubio to apologize for claiming some in the media “can’t contain their glee” over the rising number of coronavirus cases in the United States: “That’s an outrageous statement, it’s a hurtful statement.” https://t.co/f8u2wbJuik pic.twitter.com/x7Vq7MP1Pk

It may be a hurtful statement becuases it’s true, but it’s not an outrageous statement, also because it’s true. Keep in mind that Rubio didn’t say everyone on the media was gleeful, just some. And here are some of those horrible media figures now:
Here’s GQ correspondent Julie Ioffe:
Who’s the shithole country now? https://t.co/7NL4aHbyHq

Seems pretty gleeful to me, with a side of delight.
Then there’s NBC and MSNBC legal analyst Benjamin Wittes doing the wave that the U.S. has the most recorded coronavirus deaths:
We’re Number 1!

Considering the democrats reaction to impeaching president Trump, maybe that qualifies as “sad and somber” on the left. Still, t the rest of us it comes off as glee & delight.
Then of course there is Muslim comic/podcaster/Obama’s go-to Islam guy Dean Obeidallah poorly containing his glee:
Trump wanted to make America First well we are getting there! Thanks to his incompetence and lies as of tonight the US has the THIRD most cases of the coronavirus in the world. And that’s out of 170 countries with cases of it. Well done Trump! #QuaratineLife pic.twitter.com/5toDfKVmnC

Snark = glee.
Finally: Hillary Clinton is not an elected official, isn’t running for anything, and is on TV constantly so she counts as a media figure and here’s how she celebrated America topping the list of coronavirus deaths:
He did promise “America First.” https://t.co/bzks3hqCUE

Obviously Rubio’s tweet was 100% correct so what this boils down to is Jonathan Karl demanding a Republican Senator apologize for telling the truth about the biased douchebags of the liberal media. An industry famous for lying is pissed at someone for telling the truth and that’s the most fake news thing to happen all month.
