All of ours, CNN, MSNBC, and of course Foxnews are shitty right now.

They all wrap the COVID19 news into a political wrapper, and offer more commentary on the politician talking about the issue, than the issue itself. It's all about which politician burned which politician about this response or that response.

That's fine and great when I want politics (which is often), but frustrating when I want news about the VIRUS.
