YESTERDAY—TOWARD THE END of a press conference in the Rose Garden focused on coronavirus testing—President Trump had a tense exchange with Weijia Jiang, of CBS News. Jiang pressed Trump on his repeated claims that the US is doing better on testing than other countries. “Why does that matter?” she asked. “Why is this a global competition to you if, every day, Americans are still losing their lives?” Trump replied that Jiang was asking the wrong person—or, more specifically, the wrong country. “Ask China that question,” he said. “Okay?” He then tried to call on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, but she deferred to Jiang, who followed up. “Sir, why are you saying that to me, specifically, that I should ask China?” Jiang, who was born in China, asked. Trump interjected, “I’m telling you. I’m not saying it specifically to anybody—I’m saying it to anybody that would ask a nasty question like that.” Collins then tried to get her question in, but Trump wouldn’t let her. He then cut the presser short and stalked off.

Miguel Mora, director del medio noticioso independiente nicaragüense 100% Noticias, estuvo a cargo de su paso a la Internet cuando el Gobierno le revocó la concesión de servicios televisivos en abril de 2018. Mora y sus compañeros trasladaron sus archivos a dos cuentas de YouTube y los utilizaron para seguir documentando la respuesta represiva del Gobierno frente a la creciente ola de protestas que se realizaron en los meses siguientes. El 5 de marzo de 2020, YouTube le notificó que cerraría las cuentas a raíz de quejas sobre violación del derecho de autor.
