Tucker clip had this. While coronavirus was the biggest emerging threat in the world, Democrats and media (redundancy alert) forced all US attention to impeachment over an innocent phone call.
The 'first case' was tracked back to Nov 17 2019 (or earlier):

Fox News Jan 3, 2020:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/06/health/china-pneumonia-intl-hnk/index.htmlCompare that to their coverage of the impeachment trial conducted January 16 – February 5, 2020. A thousand time more coverage, or was it more?
Tragically, the virus had been spreading for months before it was brought to out attention by our asleep at the wheel press. Not one western media outlet had a reporter embedded in Hubei Province, a world trading, urban center 7 times the population of London? The world lost months of containment and preparedness as the story, not the virus, was contained.
How come our media's collaboration with Communist China failed to yield a 'scoop'?

The phone call! Can you believe Trump wanted corruption investigated? In the Ukraine!!
By summer, even the Democrat Party at the Dem National Convention were silent on their own impeachment accomplishment and 100% focused on blaming the Wuhan virus on Trump. Likewise with the media. Right out of Orwell.
Yet the death toll might be 95% lower if China hadn't lied or if an investigative media, if we had one, had called them out early on those blatant lies. China didn't know it spread person to person until late January even while everyone involved included four jailed doctors could see it go viral?
