On Monday, President Trump casually told reporters that he’s been taking hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug he has repeatedly touted as effective against COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. The reporters seemed stunned. “I was just waiting to see your eyes light up when I said this,” Trump told them. The president does not (as far as we know) have COVID-19 (or malaria), and there’s no conclusive proof that hydroxychloroquine works against it; Trump’s Food and Drug Administration even warned, last month, that COVID-19 patients should not administer it outside of a clinical or hospital setting because it can cause heart problems. Trump’s comment set off an instant media firestorm. Reacting on MSNBC, John Heilemann said there was a “high probability” that Trump was lying, and just wanted people to think, “having told everyone else to take it, that he himself is taking it, even though he’s not in fact taking it.” Over on Fox, Neil Cavuto, who has underlying health issues himself, strongly advised vulnerable viewers not to follow Trump’s lead. “I cannot stress enough,” he said. “This will kill you.” Later, Fox’s opinion hosts contradicted Cavuto. Sean Hannity took aim at the “media mob.” Laura Ingraham (on whom more shortly) accused liberal pundits of “freaking out.” Trump’s taking (or alleged taking) of hydroxychloroquine continued to attract attention yesterday. News channels hosted doctors who warned of the drug’s potential dangers. Fox’s Cavuto... Continue reading at 'Columbia Journalism Review'
