Idiot of the Week: Jerry Falwell Jr. Blames Media for Infecting his University

The "stupid" is strong in Jerry Falwell Jr. Wow.  Yeah, he's a "Return Idiot of the Week."
  First, he opened his fake university, "Liberty University" at the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic and urged students to return. Then, people got COVID19. Now, he's taken a page from Trump's dumb playbook and is accusing the NY Times of sending "infected" reporters to spread the virus to his university. 
 Can he be any dumber and more cruel to college students and their families?
     People who send their kids there have to be just as dumb, and the kids that chose to go to Liberty University are the same. WHY? the "University" isn't accredited, as one of our neighbors found out when he tried to use his credits to a real university, and they were rejected.  Here's the story about the COVID19 outbreak there>

JERRY FALWELL JR TAKES A PAGE FROM TRUMP’S PLAYBOOK
Jerry Falwell Jr., a leading evangelical Christian voice and close confidante of President Donald Trump, called a New York Times reporter around midnight and left an ominous voicemail.
“You’re in some serious trouble,” he said, per The New York Times.
The newspaper reported Falwell also accused reporters of traveling to the university’s Lynchburg, Virginia, campus from New York and putting students at risk of coronavirus infection. The Times said they did not.
Falwell has been attacking the media, including the Times, following reports critical of his decision to partially reopen Liberty University last month during the ongoing pandemic. The Times said he threatened to sue the newspaper. He also had his campus police issue arrest warrants for two journalists ― reporter Alec MacGillis of ProPublica and Times freelance photographer Julia Rendleman ― charging them with trespassing.
Falwell, who is president of the university, is currently the subject of a class-action lawsuit accusing him of putting students at risk by partially reopening amid the pandemic. Lynchburg Mayor Treney Tweedy described the decision to allow students back on campus after spring break as “reckless.”
Earlier this week, Liberty announced that two employees had tested positive, two were awaiting results and seven others had been asked to self-quarantine based on symptoms, according to the News & Advance, a newspaper in Lynchburg.
