The one where they said Trump lied that Google was making a COVID19 site.This is rather vague. Exactly who exactly told what exactly what lie?

If no one trusts the media, why are you raising such a fuss? That headline, by itself, is comical.Also, good article on why nobody trusts (or should trust) the mainstream media: 'Why No One Trusts Media': NYT Reporters Circulate Misleading Trump Quote on Wuhan Coronavirus
Who is "they"? You continue to be extremely vague.The one where they said Trump lied that Google was making a COVID19 site.
You are someone who seems to live in a world of his own imagination. If people doesn't agree with your imaginary world, you think they have trouble dealing with reality.You can't "catch" what you already have. Perhaps you need to "catch" the cure, -- called REALITY.

Now it's Trump's advisers who are undermining him? I wonder why he keeps picking such back-stabbing incompetent people to work for him.At the same time, Trump has not had proper advice about a proper wall, therefore what you see are pictures of an inadequate fence. Again, his advisers have been sabotaging his agenda. A proper solid wall (including a barrier to all tunnels), with all defensive and offensive equipment in place, could have prevented not only illegals, but all kinds of infectious diseases from coming North. Those caravans would have stopped had they seen a real wall in place.
Don't be stupid. Any idiot can understand what the POTUS meant. He means try getting it yourself through your private channels first because the federal government might take a while. Not hard to understand at all.If no one trusts the media, why are you raising such a fuss? That headline, by itself, is comical.
Now about that quote. What did he really mean? "“Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment — try getting it yourselves. We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself.” What does "will be backing you" mean? Giving them moral support? Scrounging up some respirators and ventilators? How many of those? How much of "all the equipment" can the federal government be giving people to "back" them?
The statement was ridiculous. It would be like me telling a homeless person, "Food and shelter? Try getting it yourself. I'll be backing you but try getting it yourself." It's a nothing statement. If I told him exactly what help I would provide, that would tell him what other things he needed to look for elsewhere. Trump appeared to me to be saying, "I don't know what we have or when we'll have anything to give you. Don't count on us. Help yourselves; but of course, if we do get some things, we'll help you out."
Just do a Google search for "trump lied about google"Who is "they"? You continue to be extremely vague.
I did google "Trump" "google" and "coronavirus". I didn't find what you claimed. I'm not saying it's not there -- but I can't find it. You can't provide any evidence? Do you expect people to believe something because you say so? If you have credible information, tell us where you found it.Just do a Google search for "trump lied about google"
I literally told you the exact search to put in...I did google "Trump" "google" and "coronavirus". I didn't find what you claimed. I'm not saying it's not there -- but I can't find it.

So the tweet from the New York Times reporter wasn't all that wrong.Don't be stupid. Any idiot can understand what the POTUS meant. He means try getting it yourself through your private channels first because the federal government might take a while. Not hard to understand at all.
Why so reluctant to share your sources?I literally told you the exact search to put in...
OH brother...So the tweet from the New York Times reporter wasn't all that wrong.

So why the complaining about the lack of context? Do you think the reporter should have gone on at length to explain how unprepared the Trump administration was?
Good, now go and look at the press conference from Sunday and he shows Google actually substantiated his claim.Why so reluctant to share your sources?
The first article I found was from Vox.
https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/3/15/21180518/coronavirus-google-verily-website-testing-trump
In a bold declaration on Friday, Trump said that “Google has 1,700 engineers working on” a website that would help people figure out if they needed a coronavirus test and to direct them to testing sites. As we now know, this statement was not entirely true. The reality of Google’s role in addressing the coronavirus outbreak is more complex and, in some ways, more productive.
Within an hour of the president’s Rose Garden speech on Friday, the company’s press team pushed back against Trump’s announcement and tweeted a statement from Verily, drawing a distinction between the two companies and clarifying that the Verily site was only nearing a testing phase, rather than being almost ready to launch.
This is actually a generous depiction of the truth behind the Trump declaration. According to the New York Times, the plan for Verily to build a website to help with coronavirus testing was “in its infancy.” And Verily only has about 1,000 employees. The 1,700 number that Trump claimed in his speech actually refers to the number of Google engineers who, the Thursday before Trump’s speech, filled out a form volunteering to help Verily with its coronavirus triage site in the coming “days and weeks.” Even then, the Verily project was only meant to be used by health care workers.
I also found this:
Despite Trump’s claims, Google isn’t building the coronavirus screening site — and it’s not ready – TechCrunch
In a press conference at the White House, President Trump today announced that 1,700 Google engineers were working on a coronavirus screening site. That site was supposedly the first step in a new screening process that would lead people from figuring out if their symptoms warranted more testing to the location of new “drive through” testing stations. But Trump was wrong. This screening site isn’t being developed by Google . Instead, it’s being built by Verily, Alphabet’s life science division — and it’s not ready to launch yet either.
Did you happen to listen to the exchange in its context? If you did (and no you haven't) you'd know the above to be a misrepresentation. The libelous link served to suffice your hate, it quenched what you desired. That you believed the fakenews link proves you never heard what was actually said.So the tweet from the New York Times reporter wasn't all that wrong.

I did check it out. Google agreed later to form some of partnership, but that was after what Trump talked. I'm tired of you telling me what to do, too. If you want me to read something, give the link. Stop acting as if I'm your obedient servant.Good, now go and look at the press conference from Sunday and he shows Google actually substantiated his claim.
Lots of hot language and name-calling in that post. You got in a few insult of me too, saying I had hate. You got anything else to offer?Did you happen to listen to the exchange in its context?
