Jerry Springer says the media has no excuse for covering President Donald Trumps coronavirus briefings now that everyone knows what theyre like.

The former talk-show-host-turned-TV-judge griped about the briefings on the Cincinnati Enquirers Thats So Cincinnati podcast.

He didnt mince words.

There is no excuse, now that we know what theyre like, for just turning on the cameras, Springer said, adding that the meetings should be covered by reporters, but not necessarily shown live.

To just turn on the cameras on Trump for an hour and a half? Thats not journalism, thats technology, Springer said. I blame the journalists for this.

Springer said it made sense to cover the briefings live for the first couple of days or maybe even weeks, but said theres no need now that we see what the routine is.

He elaborated: Trump gets up there and spews his stuff, which is different every day and then finally! the doctors get up there and, basically, refute what hes saying.

As a result, Springer said the public is not being helped, and he predicted things could get worse.

There are some people crazy enough to listen to the president and theyre the ones going out there spreading the disease, he said.
