Local media’s coverage of cv19 has been egregious. This is a headline from fort bend
Posted by HailHailtoMichigan! on 8/21/20 at 12:00 am7112
They are trying to SPIN IT AS A BAD THING that people are demanding less testing aka people aren’t feeling as many symptoms aka spread is slowing.
Local media has
1) hyped up false stories about hospitals being overrun
2) chosen to heavily focus on tragic outliers of people under 50 dying, without including disclaimers in these articles that the overall data indicates for people under 50, it is not deadlier than flu.
3) misread various studies in ways that makes studies sound more alarming than they are
Local media here in the OC and LA market has been a disgrace. I’m sure Louisiana media is similar.

lol this is all that needs to be said, and it’s almost impressive that the media can take that info and still attempt to spin it as a bad thing

The media is the enemy of this country. They are so far away from true journalism these days it's unbelievable.
How some people can't see this is beyond me. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that they report with a slant and agenda constantly.
Why can't the media just report the fricking news? Why does every article and/or story have to have an agenda? It's insane.

I don’t remember the exact number, but I do believe the governor of Louisiana said the majority of the positive cases are from asymptomatic people.

In just two short paragraphs, there were numerous violations of grammar/spelling/writing.
They don’t even proofread the shite they churn out.

quote:Actually, just two weeks ago he said the exact opposite. He said nearly all tests done were on people showing symptoms. He was trying to drum up fear that there were many more people walking around with it and spreading it to others without knowing. This was when he was trying to scare people into wearing masks. But then the Ochsner study came out where 60% of those positive showed no symptoms at all, and he spun it as if it proved his point even though the percent positive was in line with the current trend. In other words, we had been testing people without symptoms. He basically gave us a study that proved he had been lying.

Proves how the MSM played the whole thing up to fit the liberal agenda.

KP will milk this and “racist” for all it’s worth. So glad we moved out west to God’s Country.

60% don’t show symptoms I believe.

Ol’ Phil apparently doesn’t proofread, and neither does his editor.

My stepdad got it a couple of weeks ago. He’s over 60, nearly died from kidney failure two years ago because he was an alcoholic and still has several complications from it, has neuropathy in his feet and legs, is about 30 pounds overweight, has been a chain smoker for 40 years and is just generally in bad health.
His worst symptoms have been lethargy for a couple of days. On top of that, the doctors told him not to worry about more positive tests in the next couple of months because after you recover the antibodies present positive results even though you no longer have symptoms and are no longer contagious.
Also, my girlfriends friend’s parents, who are both extremely overweight, got it. Their worst symptoms were about like a normal head cold.
This obviously doesn’t tell the whole story, but it tells a lot of it for me. I’m over this shite.

The last Covid19 fear mongering article to be published by America's pathetic media will be something along the lines of "Unused ventilators will further fill up our already stressed landfills"

Read Michael Crichton's State of Fear.
This cabal of media, academics and politicians has desired the control they now have for some time and will lie to keep us in a State of Fear.

The media as a whole will take any statistic and turn it bad.
We’ve had so many deaths compared to the world!!!!
Well yeah, we’re the third most populated county and you know China’s numbers will be shite. We’re exactly average to any other 1st world country.
Testing!!!
We’ve done 40 million more tests than 2nd place... India, which has > 3x our population. (Again, China has done more than us but they only claim 5k dead... so do with that what you will.)
Opening schools is dangerous.
15 school age children have died of Coronavirus. Pediatricians say to do it. Parents want to do it. Letting kids get to school and catch it is the safest way to herd immunity in that age group possible.
Testing numbers are decreasing rapidly.
Less people are having symptoms or coming into contact with C19 positive people? The horror.
It won’t end. Everything good that will happen the next 3 months will be spun into bad news by the media.

So it's not just here that the local media sucks. I'm not sure if that makes me feel better or worse.

This thing is ending..they can feel it
The good thing at least in my area is that people have calling the media out on this bullshite. The comments section have gone from "mask up and stay safe" "this is serious" People need to be cautious" to "go to hell with your fake numbers" Stop fear mongering" etc. People are waking up.

We live in Fort Bend. My husband tested positive for Strep yesterday, and the doctor at the urgent care still did a COVID test just to be 100% certain that wasn’t the cause of his sore throat and fever. If COVID tests are being used in circumstances like that, we have plenty of tests to go around.
