    Unbelievable and Shameful’: Fox News Slammed for Attacks on Greta Thunberg How Rupert Murdoch Is Influencing Australia’s Bushfire Debate Laura Ingraham Compares Greta Thunberg to ‘Children of the Corn’ Amid raging bushfire, Rupert Murdoch's Australian media empire turns a blind eye to climate crisis Some buy into the kool aid of the evangelicals. Some buy into the kool aid of Rupert Murdoch.
  3. You begin to understand perverse, mean spirited attributes within yourself. When you think that perhaps such stupidity will naturally control itself through the actions of the virus.
  4. Sorry its the nomination process and the focus on quips, one liners, fundraising and lack of substance.
  5. I don't disagree with anything you've suggested. On balance its impossible to make changes or speak to power from within the trump administration. Perhaps Fauci doesn't understand that. More likely, he believes speaking from within is still the best course in his current semi-muzzled position. Currently the anticipated peak of daily deaths is anticipated Easter Sunday. The time when about ten days ago trump was suggesting easing work restrictions. AFAIK it was Fauci and another official who persuaded trump to can that ill conceived idea. With Kushner running things, with the firing of the IG, Mr. Fine. A tsunami of cash is going to be unleashed by trump insiders w/o fiscal controls My largest concern in the absence of a hero who can speak the truth to Americans. Is a second wave equal or worse than the first..Hope, the election is but 208 days away.
  6. Now more than ever we need bourbon. America has had its heroes bullied and fired. For now Fauci in his muzzled state will have to do.
  7. Oh come on It’s hard to underestimate Jared Kushner. The president has complete confidence.

    covid-19

    "For health care workers in contact with coronavirus patients, the CDC recommends a more specialized type of mask — one that is individually fitted to a person's face to create a seal and that filters out 95 percent of particles that at least 0.3 microns in diameters. (A micron is 1/1,000th of a millimeter.) This type of mask is called N95." Dust Mask and Filter Cartridge Ratings "SARS-CoV-2 grows in type II lung cells, which secrete a soap-like substance that helps air slip deep into the lungs, and in cells lining the throat. As with SARS, most of the damage in COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus, is caused by the immune system carrying out a scorched earth defense to stop the virus from spreading."
  9. I would suggest that media corporations have target markets for their news, information and editorial content. Could you please provide some examples and content of " Fox bravery"?
  10. A couple days worth of insider trading at the WH.
  11. Rupert Murdoch is allot like trump. "He quickly expanded the business into a national and then an international force, in part by ruthlessly using his platform to help elect his preferred candidates and then ruthlessly using those candidates to help extend his reach. Murdoch’s news empire is a monument to decades’ worth of transactional relationships with elected officials." Everything is transactional for him as it is for trump. You fix my problems and I'll fix yours. You "catch and kill" for me and the narrative of enemy actions will be painted for you. The two links above are long detailed stories on how Murdock uses his reach to attack political foes and reward allies. He and his corporations have been investigated on every inhabited continent for bribery, corruption and influence peddling. Likely why they and the trump family get along so well.Everyone should read those stories to understand FOX objectives and news ain't one.
  12. I finally had to get to the bottom of all the trump supporters blaming trumps failures on the WHO. So go to FOX and WTF. According to FOX all the faults of the world come from the WHO. The entire existence of C-19 is the WHO's fault. Its as if the virus was a WHO creation in its bio-labs. WHO director faces calls for resignation over handling of coronavirus, China Anytime a trump supporter lays out a new excuse, someone or another body to blame for trump's fu*#ups. Get the lies direct from FOX. A filtered narrative from his supporters is akin to a trump press conference. BS, hot air, narrative about nothing. According to the bulls*#t from FOX the WHO "failed to properly oversee China's coronavirus response". Which makes as much sense as the WHO failed to direct America's response, Spain's response. FOX press release next week. The WHO is responsible for the global warming hoax. Hannity reporting at 18.00.
  13. trump creates a $2 trillion dollar slush fund for his re-election. trump canned Glenn A. Fine, who had been the acting inspector general for the Defense Department since before Mr. Trump took office. He is also in charge of pandemic relief spending over-site. With a reputation for aggression and independence. The doors to the piggy bank are now wide open. Republicans who gave trump a pass on impeachment can now be rewarded. Cue America the Beautiful.
  14. Agreed but he is so bad at it, so stupid, that even when he has advanced knowledge of the cards to be played. He still loses. Peter Navarro,assistant to the president, laid it out in a memo dated January 29th. “The lack of immune protection or an existing cure or vaccine would leave Americans defenseless in the case of a full-blown coronavirus outbreak on U.S. soil,” Mr. Navarro’s memo said. “This lack of protection elevates the risk of the coronavirus evolving into a full-blown pandemic, imperiling the lives of millions of Americans.” Peter Navarro said failure to contain a coronavirus outbreak could lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths and trillions of dollars in economic losses."
  15. In this time of C-19 its amazing how often ideals are coming back to bite. Boris Johnson's comments that he doesn't "social distance" a prime example. Israel's liberals I'm sure are taking note and I'd wonder if Litzman's wife is a lesbian by his statement.
  16. I don't know if there is a medical test for "gay". But he did test positive for Coronavirus.

    So the acting secNav goes to Guam. Doesn't tour the ship instead heads right to the ships internal announcement system to "injected partisan political tones into the address by attacking former Vice President Joe Biden, who has repeatedly criticized Crozier’s removal...in a profane and defensive address that one crew member described in an interview as “whiny, upset, irritated, condescending,” Modly took repeated shots at the integrity of Capt. Brett E. Crozier,... Modly said Crozier was “too naïve or too stupid to be a commanding officer”... the acting secretary slammed China and its role in the coronavirus pandemic while taking issue with Crozier’s assertion in the leaked letter that America was not at war. “The only reason we are dealing with this right now is because a big authoritarian regime called China was not forthcoming about what was happening with this virus and they put the world at risk to protect themselves and to protect their reputations,”.. You can disobey the chain of command and take the consequences, but there is no situation where you go to the media.” Such an action, Modly implied, could threaten the dissolution of the United States." I fuc*#ng kid you not. Thats exactly what he did when he flew to Guam, went right to the bridge. Then without touring the ship left. Evidently C-19 isn't a concern to sailors but is to him. Full transcript.
  18. Comon its not that funny. The only time trump was a victim was when he was caught
  19. More laughs and frivolity. "The coronavirus is divine punishment.. the virus was powerless against those who were not afraid of it. ..said the founder of the powerful Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (IURD), a worldwide network of evangelical churches. The multimillionaire also owns one of Brazil's most influential television channels...."Will the coronavirus kill people? Yes, but even more people will die if there is social disorder. Churches are essential for those desperate, fearful and depressed people who have been turned away from hospitals," there is nothing but business calculus behind criticism of the shutdown from evangelicals like Malafaia. "Malafaia's ties to Bolsonaro are like that of any other businessman. He is a religious entrepreneur looking to protect his interests like everyone else," he said."

    humph easy enough for a woman to find humor when C-19 is killing men 30% more often than women! Kidding aside more men smoke, 3-5% more than women and use cannabis 50% more. They also work in trades welding, farming, etc which likely expose their lungs to possible damage.
  21. I admire your endless patience. The president gets his info from the CDC and the daily briefing. Which would include CIA info. FOX uses the WHO when its needed as a scapegoat for the daily talking points. Its most helpful to KISS when explaining C-19 WH knowledge to those feigning ignorance.

    Yeah but many in the White House do not want opioids to be a priority, because that would entail diverting significant funds away from tax cuts for corporate shareholders.
