New York Post reporter Steven Nelson was absolutely roasted online for using his time during the daily White House coronavirus press briefing to ask President Donald Trump about possibly pardoning Joe Exotic from the Tiger King documentary that has become a pop culture hit.

With nearly 450,000 Americans having contracted the COVID-19 and more than 13,000 deaths so far, the notion that a supposedly professional journalist would instead shift the focus of the questions to the president to a snarky, stunt set off a torrent of criticism.

Update: Nelson pushed back on all those challenging his journalistic priorities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in a comment to Mediate: “At today’s White House briefing, I asked about WHO coronavirus funding, negotiations on a post-crisis infrastructure bill, and the top-rated TV show as people stay at home during the outbreak. I have nothing more to add.”

One of those things, even the most elementary of media watchers can see, is definitely not like the others.

2. Because there aren't more important questions you could be asking. I yelled at the tv when

that jackass asked him that. He shouldn't be allowed back in- save the seat for a real reporter.
