Our
Thursday editorial offering some friendly advice on how to make the
daily White House coronavirus briefings more informative for the American
people seems to have caught President’s Trump attention.
The President took to his
favorite communication venue to tweet: “The Wall Street Journal always
‘forgets’ to mention that the ratings for the White House Press Briefings are
‘through the roof’ (Monday Night Football, Bachelor Finale, according to
@nytimes) & is only way for me to escape the Fake News & get my views
across. WSJ is Fake News!”
Thanks for reading, sir, and we
agree the briefings are an excellent way to communicate directly with
Americans. Our point was about the way Mr. Trump is communicating about a
subject that is literally a life and death matter. That’s the reason they’re a
ratings hit, not because people enjoy Donald Trump sparring with the White
House press corps like a Packers-Bears game.
We’ll bet the ratings for the
briefings would be even higher if they were shorter and more focused. We
suggested 45 minutes, but at least one reader who wishes Mr. Trump well thinks
they should be 30, delivering an update on key developments, taking a question
or two—and that’s it.
The ratings that will matter
for Mr. Trump this year are where he stands in public approval come November.
And those ratings will depend on Mr. Trump’s results in conquering Covid-19 and
restarting the economy.
