      Drew Holden Retweeted CNN

      🧵Thread🧵 Today’s news about China’s poor and deceptive handling of the coronavirus outbreak should serve as a wake up call for those in the media who praised and defended it. Because it’s a long, long list of those who served as an apologist for China’s response. 👇https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1333530775367671813 …

      Given @CNN broke the bad news today on China, it seems like a good place to start the list of those who vouched for them. They carried water for China’s propaganda for months, and criticized @VP for rightly blaming their response for the global death toll.pic.twitter.com/e3GfZOQk3N

          @NewYorker had Chinese propaganda covered from both angles - first applauding their response (glossing over the arrests and killing/disappearing of dissidents) and then going in on how Trump was wrong to blame them.pic.twitter.com/50JVYym8mZ

          As I’ve said throughout, we’ll need accountability all the way round on the coronavirus response. But pretending like that accountability does not begin with China, who’s fault it is that the virus snuck up on the rest of the planet, is intellectually and morally untenable.

          There’s been a lot of talk about political disinformation and the need to limit it. And for good reason. It would therefore be helpful if the media would stop pushing this particular variety of it in service of the Chinese Communist Party.

          I know it’s been repeated countless times, but the maxim really is true: China lied, people died.

          I don’t have anything to sell but in your charity please don’t forget that the pandemic has taken an enormous toll on all of our neighbors & food pantries have been hit hard. If you’re in the DC area & can help, I strongly recommend Capital Area Food Bank:https://www.capitalareafoodbank.org
