Covid-19

[D-West & PO-Z]

Perhaps because we responded better? I think 2 Americans died from Ebola, which the Senator from Iowa characterized as Obama exhibiting failed leadership.
When asked about Trump's leadership with 140,000 dead (and growing) she said he "stepped forward."

I feel confident that if 100,000 Americans had died from Ebola, there would have been a lot more media coverage.

Seriously. Why is this even a question? Hmmmmm......I wonder why the media didn't cover Ebola like this.

These people need to have their head examined who think this is all trumped up nonsense and fear mongering to get Trump out.

There needs to be some reform with how the media operates. I can’t stand CNN or Fox News because they both vomit their own political biases. It’s just the same as listening to Alex Jones. Report on facts and get rid of the Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Tucker Carilson, Hannity type personalities. Does anyone know if there are news stations that just report the facts? I’d like to listen to the news without all the political biases.

BBC America used to be good for straight news. Haven't watched it in a while, though.

I will have to look into that. Are they on TV or just radio?

It's TV. It was on DirecTV, but we cut the cord about a year ago, so not sure if it is still there.

I, too, cannot fathom what thought processes could lead one to make that comparison. It defies logic. I recall reading many stories of Ebola outbreaks in West Africa and how it was only a matter of time before it was on the loose in the United States.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but yes, I agree. They are not comparable and a comparison makes no sense. STL_XUFan said they were comparable and I disagreed.

"Newsy" on YouTube TV. Maybe others carry it as well. Unbiased, factual reporting is their motto. Some of it is done well, some not so much, but at least I don't feel dumber for having watched it.

Newsy is on Cincinnati Bell FiOptics, channel 508. Never watched it. I might have to check it out.

One of the most eye opening aspects of this whole thing to me is coming to realize just how awful and misleading the media is. I mean, I never really trusted the media, but I didn’t realize the lengths they would go to to mislead you for clicks or views.

I don’t know what to believe anymore.....

It’s really sad. I had that “awakening” last year from a series of 3 events: the CovCath thing, Jessie Smollett, and the Colorado school shooting where the perpetrator was later found to be a transgender & illegal immigrant. It infuriates me (as if that wasn’t obvious!).

Getting back to COVID, seeing that the CovCath kid has made them pay for slander, I wonder if there’s a way to make them criminally accountable for inducing panic? Or maybe a civil suit for unjust economic damage they have caused? Probably not, but I believe in God. Their day of reckoning will come sometime.
