I'm sure there are and you are free to go seek them out.
Of course it makes no sense to let butthurt over The Blaze cause you to question this specific story since his own words are provided and there is also video of him saying these things.
And you wouldn't have made your complaint if I had posted something from MSNBC. Which shows *your* bias.
It's clearly an error of policy but the loaded language is being used to subvert the true situation. A more balanced article.
Trump's saying covid-19 testing is now "overrated".
We went from needing more testing, needing to mass-test for anti-bodies and needing a vaccine to 'meh, shit's all overrated'.

His problem is he should have stuck with the second narrative he was trying to spin. Not the first one where he pretended it was a nothing burger. The second one where he said it wasn't a big deal and was logistically planning for and addressing it.
But he flip-flops so much it's too hard to follow. And my only other viable option is Biden?

“ Hey all –
I’ve gotten a lot of emails from everyone during the last eight days ever since the dashboard went down, the data was hidden, and the functionality essentially crashed, so to clear up the confusion, I’m sending this final notice to the group.
For reasons beyond my division’s control, as of late in the day on May 5, my office (the DOH-GIS office) is no longer managing the COVID-19 Dashboard. I am no longer involved in the publication of data, fixing errors, answering questions, etc., in any shape or form. I helped them get it back running a few times but I have no knowledge about their plans, what data they are now restricting, what data will be added and when, or any of that. I understand, appreciate, and even share your concern about all the dramatic changes that have occurred and those that are yet to come. However, I cannot provide any insight now or going forward.
As a word of caution, I would not expect the new team to continue the same level of accessibility and transparency that I made central to the process during the first two months. After all, my commitment to both is largely (arguably entirely) the reason I am no longer managing it.
They are making a lot of changes. I would advise being diligent in your respective uses of this data. I know many of you have broken API links and map layers. I’ve listed the contacts for getting that information below.
The primary contacts going forward are listed below.
Anything related to EPI: REDACTED or REDACTED
Anything related to the technical aspects of the dashboard: REDACTED
It was great working with you guys. Good luck, and stay safe.

It’s unfortunate that even a virus has gotten political in the States. Things have gotten so extreme. If she was indeed fired for not willing to alter data, her superiors should be brought up on some charges. That’s some China like nonsense.

So overrated he gets tested regularly himself.
And just to go back to what Cuomo said about nursing homes, etc. Imagine if Trump had said that. Imagine the outrage.
Hell imagine if New York had a Republican governor? Democrats would be screaming bloody murder, the media would be covering this non-stop and calling it the "nursing home massacre" or something along those lines. So the hypocrisy is unbelievable.
When they feel Trump is messing up it's "He has blood on his hands!". With Cuomo it's "ooo he should run for president!". The hypocrisy is staggering.

Wait a minute...
What is this about? She was altering data to help the government continue to implement restriction policies and she refused to do so?

It's hard to tell exactly what they are saying she did:
"Rebekah Jones said in an email to CBS12 News that her removal was "not voluntary" and that she was removed from her position because she was ordered to censor some data, but refused to "manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen."
It sounds like this is saying she was ordered to censor some data and to also alter some data. She censored the data, but drew the line at altering data and was thus removed from her position.
