Donald Trump's White House reality show has received more attention, but Andrew Cuomo, Gavin Newsom and others offer a picture of getting things done.

, because New York is farther into the crisis than elsewhere and because Cuomo himself projects an easygoing, empathetic sort of tough love, and sounds like Al Pacino, not overacting. I don’t know much about Cuomo, apart from his illustrious parentage, but I note that many constituents not otherwise inclined to like him seem to now.

Even from 3,000 miles away, listening to Cuomo can reduce stress, not because he sugarcoats but because he shoots straight: “Calibrate yourself and your expectations so you’re not disappointed every morning you get up.

Closer to where I shelter in place there is Gov. Newsom, who is tall and youthful and gets up close to the camera, projecting a kind of Northern California easiness that falls somewhere between friendly politician and local television host; in another life, and easier time, I can see him hosting a children’s show, with puppets. He likes to call California a “nation state,” which, for a native, reinforces the comforting sense of a bulwark against whatever madness might reign elsewhere.

“I completely reject this notion that we are destined to any particular fate; it’s decisions, not conditions, that determine our future,” he said recently. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who conducts his briefings from behind a lectern in the middle distance in a paneled room — it’s like a 12th-row view — comes across as a kind of inspirational technocrat: “We have not seen the darkest days, but we will march forward, and we’ll march forward together.” Neither governor nor mayor is political in his broadcasts, except in the sense that avoiding politics may itself bring tangible rewards, might open doors that otherwise would stay closed.

Why?

News? LOL More OpEd from this rag called a 'news' source.

Fake news don't want peoples to watch the President's news conference to hear the truth. Just listen to the lies from fake ass news? No thank you. If fake news show it live? I can always watch it from VP's live tweet. Fake news is for entertainment purpose only. Not news.

Really ignore the two best people we have, Fauci and Birx, and listen to politicians and pundents, I hope no one is that ignorant.

Don't believe Lamestream media MockingbirdMedia

yep. LA Times is a POS.

That’s the dumbest statement I’ve heard. Irresponsible on the LA Times part.

Nope . Trump is the go to guy for this situation. Remember , each state has thier own disaster plan . How is his doing ?

Is a national publication in the second largest city in the country telling Americans not to watch the President and national government’s presser on the biggest crisis since WW2 bc they’re partisan hacks? Why yes, yes they are. Big J journos everyone

Cuomo's 'MRT' (Medicaid Redesign Team) proposed to cut 2.5 billion from the State Medicaid budget even during the pandemic: Over the years Cuomo has been slashing funds for hospitals:

Donald Trump Insists He Wasn't Downplaying the Coronavirus, but 'I'm Not About Bad News'The news was grim out of the White House on Tuesday night: In a best-case scenario, according to the available models and data, between 100,000… Sure thing, D-Bag. There are videos of you downplaying the virus as a cold, flu, and democratic hoax. You could have prevented thousands of deaths. Not about news that doesn’t fit neatly into his personal agenda he means.. “I’m not about bad news” seriously? How many kids (offspring) does he have? I’d say that’s bad news enough. JUST be honest Trump and say “your not about caring about Americans”. Why report his lies ? Just to cause arguments.
