#JOURNALISM: After mocking Trump for promoting hydroxychloroquine, journalists acknowledge it might treat coronavirus. “Journalists and top Democrats have beaten a similarly hasty retreat from their previous claims that Trump’s ban on travel from China was both xenophobic and ineffective. But media outlets’ misinformation on hydroxychloroquine was unique because it involved not simply policy disagreements but also suggestive medical advice and directives that could have dissuaded some from seeking certain treatments.”

The press lied, people died. But no responsibility, and no consequences.
