NY Times blames "the religious right's hostility to science" for crippling our response to Wuhan virus

The shi**y, lying, anti-American Mainstream Media keeps claiming the Trump administration hasn't responded well to the Wuhan coronavirus.  While its true that the CDC initially produced a test that gave false positives, that doesn't strike me as a management issue.  Nevertheless, for the past two months the Lying Media have been screaming that Trump is personally to blame for any mis-steps.

Let's go to the record:  The guy ordered all flights from China to the U.S. halted back in January, when the so-called "experts" were saying the virus wasn't gonna be a big deal.  The NY Times and the rest of the howling liberal media mob screamed "RAAACIST"  and "total over-reaction."  Then three weeks later they were screaming that Trump hadn't been aggressive enough in closing off new arrivals, and thus allowed new virus carriers into the U.S.

Now the Times has found another party to blame for the problems caused by the virus:  the "religious right."

Not kidding.  Two days ago the Times published an "opinion piece" titled

The Religious Right’s Hostility to Science Is Crippling Our Coronavirus Response

The author of the piece has also wrote a book called “The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism” which gives you a good idea of her bias.

The tenor of the article is clear in the first 'graf:

Donald Trump rose to power with the determined assistance of a movement that denies science, bashes government and prioritized loyalty over professional expertise. In the current crisis, we are all reaping what that movement has sown.  

So according to the a**holes at the Times--and make no mistake, the Times never publishes "op-ed" pieces it doesn't agree with --if you believe in God and are conservative (i.e. you're part of the "religious right"), you must be a "science denier,"  And thus according to the Times, you're to blame for the problems we're having now.

If the first 'graf wasn't clear enough in blaming the "religious right," here's another:

This denial of science and critical thinking among religious ultraconservatives now haunts the American response to the coronavirus crisis.

Wow.  Just...wow.  And it's stunning that these a**holes can print crap like that--unquestionably false, and dividing our nation even further--without any penalty whatsoever.  They lie, lie, lie...and then deny that they said any such things.

I don't see how decent, rational, hard-working conservative Americans can continue to coexist in the same country with people like those who write for the Times, who are clearly demented, and seemingly bent on our destruction.
