I went for a nice long walk this morning so I am perfectly fine.

Or if the media only supposed to cover for Conservative Presidents for the sake of the economy?
Not at all, Obama also blamed the media for trying to destroy his economy.

The economy was on a path to destruction with or without Covid, because we had inflated the biggest and most grotesque credit bubble in history. There was only one way that could end- in an economic collapse. Covid 19 has merely accelerated the process.

You don't get the point of my post so let me rephrase. The media is picking winners and losers. If the virus is as deadly as they portray it, why aren't they SCREAMING at the tops of their lungs for large corporations to shut their doors. It's all about CNN trying to save lives right?

The biggest credit bubble in history was in the 1920's. Followed by 2006.

The OP is a non-a nonsensical premise. The press will suffer as much as any industry with a bad economy. Have you not noticed how many newspapers and other news sources have gone out of business recently? The press likes sensational stories. Always has and always will. And it doesn't matter what administration. Trump gives them stories continually because he continually lies and speaks nonsense. It is a big deal when a president does that. Any news source that doesn't cover that is negligent. If Trump was careful with his words, honest and competent, the press would not be such an "enemy". Trump has himself to blame

Many corporations have closed their doors temporarily. Many of us are now working from home to prevent the spread and avoid contracting the virus.

Why are you so OBSESSED with CNN?

Trump's Greatest Depression of 2020 will "trump" both of those

No, this one is many times worse than both.
