Covid-19

[tacopizza885]

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.

Most of us have dealt with "karma" (maybe in spades). Sometimes it's called "a very tough/life changing learning experience". Please do not bring "GOD" into this particular argument.

Thirteen Felician sisters from one convent died from COVID-19

When dealing with Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, BBC, Breitbart, The Daily Wire, The Guardian, Prager U, etc... there may be one answer.

Don't be so impulsive, and research before you speak. (This goes for the Covington Catholic kids, and COVID-19)

Covid in South Carolina has been a strange ride.

When cases reached 150/day in April, there was a stay at home order, relaxed in 2 weeks, and we stayed at about the same level.
In the beginning of June, it took off to where we now average 2,000 cases/day.
Deaths averaged about 15/day, then they took off 2 weeks ago.
Today, not yet over, is our highest death total of 80.

Think it's going to be hard to open anything really until we do another serious try at getting it under control.
Despite mask requirements in places like Publix and Lowes, there are still lots of people just ignoring it, almost daring someone to say something.

Hope everyone and your families are doing OK.

And Jake Tapper calls himself a journalist...yeah ok. Like at the start of the interview he says he's having audio problems so he can interrupt the guest and ask another question. His only goal is to make Trump look bad, that's it. He doesn't give a crap about the answers his guest is giving him.

You do realize that (once again) the site you have linked to appears to be hilariously and aggressively biased. They also appear to be selling merch (?) which makes me wonder if they are really a 'media watchdog' or more of a lifestyle brand for conservatives who have worked themselves into a frenzy over media bias.

I also think there is an inherent irony in calling out bias in the media via a clearly biased media source. Just like the mainstream media is marketing to the majority of people that don't like Trump your alternative media is marketing to you. You just don't care because you (presumably) agree with it.

If people really want to force an unbiased (or less biased) Media then we need to reject biased media / reporting on both sides of the political spectrum, not just by selecting the bias that we want to engage with.

When it comes to dealing with COVID, we really suck at it.

That is all.

At least that's what the MSM would have you believe.





J/K. We totally suck at it. Badly. Like 'Brazil-level' suck.

Nice speech.... Still doesn't change the facts they reported on.

Again, disparaging the source of a news story because you don't like how it makes your side look is soooo tired and lame...

They literally posted the the entire interview along with the transcripts, but nice deflecting.

I understand that this is difficult for some of you to understand, but I don't really have a side. The great thing about life is that you can choose how you want to think on individual issues. You don't have to rely on people spoon feeding you what to think. I also don't place much stock in what Huffington Post says, for example, for the same reason. They aren't a real news source and make no attempt at objectivity.

For one thing, the article seems to take everything Giroir says as factual without verification, while assuming that everything Tapper did (including his audio problems) had malicious intent.

It contains quotes like this:

uring a Sunday interview with the Coronavirus Task Force’s Admiral Brett Giroir, MD, CNN’s State of the Union host and political activist (not a journalist) Jake Tapper assailed the Admiral with conspiratorial accusations of withholding information and not pushing President Trump, lies about testing, and claims his guest “spent this entire interview talking about how great and perfect everything is.” But Admiral Giroir was having none on Tapper’s shrill nonsense and called him out for lying.

And this:

Acting like a jerk, Tapper lashed out at the Admiral and declared: “Invoke the DPA so that commercial labs all over the country, ones you are not using, five veterinary labs is not impressive to me, sir.”

I get that they are just trying to get old white dudes riled up enough to buy a T-shirt for $20, but come on. The 'article' is literally complaining about Media Bias while being unapologetically biased.

This gives us reason to be optimistic. In six months, we will know whether or not the vaccine can work for six months!
