Always Check the Definitions Section

So who is inept and who is nuanced?

 The Germans compare pandemic futures in America and Europe

The contrast is unmistakable. On the one hand, there is the supposedly incompetent Trump administration, which will provide vaccines to 20 million Americans in the next two to three weeks alone. By the end of March, the plan is for around 100 million Americans to have received the two vaccine injections they need.

On the other hand, there is the supposedly well-prepared Europeans, who continue to have to wait for a vaccine that was developed in Germany. And who still don’t know exactly how much of the vaccine they will be getting in the coming months." 

I guess the template for coverage has been wrong for nine months. But no worries, we'll probably out-produce our estimates and be able to help out in Europe. 

When you check the definitions section, I'm sure you'll find "incompetent" defined as "not a Democrat."

And pity this nuance didn't make it into the news prior to our presidential election.
