The media is beginning to notice how well the South is doing despite being wide open...

In regards to Covid-19. The Today Show did a segment on it yesterday morning and the doctors and health experts they interviewed concluded it's because testing is dramatically down in those states and thus there is an under-reporting of cases going on. Of course, these "journalists" just accepted that explanation at face value without bothering to ask the $1,000 question: "If that's the case then why are hospitalizations and deaths ALSO down in those states?"

The media will give you 4/5’s of a story, knowing full well that last 1/5 would flip the whole narrative. They don’t lie except by omission and that’s what is so dangerous.

Deaths are also way down. I suppose we aren’t determining the cause on those as well. I hope some locked up yankee is getting a case of it when they realize how they are getting played.

such a joke.

remember last year when testing was amped up so cases spiked? conveniently the narrative was trump is doing a terrible job. I remember when he was taking criticism compared to other countries and he said- We are testing more!

now the south isn't testing as much (which i wonder how accurate this is, I don't trust any numbers regarding covid)

whatever. we know the communists control the media and almost our country.

You are both correct.

They lie and they only report what fits the narrative unless they absolutely cannot avoid it, then they lie to make the story fit the narrative.

It’s almost taboo for the media (and at least half the country) to say we are at the end of this pandemic. Saying that is like the equivalent of saying “All Lives Matter.” It just goes against their stupid nature accept it.

The sheeple are like baby birds. Mouths open, waiting for the media to feed them information. Problem is, what they’re fed has already been digested and spit back up and they don’t know of what they got fed was a worm or a beetle. Sad thing is, they don’t care.

They don’t even hide the fact that they lie and mislead and sheep still follow them

Also these "experts" would rather believe their own mind then believe reality. The notion they could have been wrong about all of this or that they don't actually know as much as they think they do will never pop into their heads.

At the end of the day, its time for the entire south to say we are done with COVID and if the north has a problem with it then they can kiss our collected asses

I agree with the overall tone and substance of your post, but this isn't right.

Tell me, where have we seen this sort of introspective before? Just like with global warming, all the predictions and worst case scenarios have never panned out. In fact they’ve done the exact opposite.

Yet the establishment and main stream media will throw bouquets and awards at the feet of Dr. Fauci and the narrative that masks ( now double masks) and shut downs are the only salvation for mankind.

Hands up don’t shoot.
If you like your plan you can keep your plan.
Trump + Russia collusion story.
There were “very fine” Nazis in Charlottesville. Covington Catholic high school kids.
Trayvon Martin was shot in the back like a dog in the street.
Five people were killed in the January 6 capitol building riot.


I could do this all day, but the fact is that the media does intentionally lie to promote narratives which they wish the public to accept.

Why do you all pay so much attention to media you don't trust?

They never cared about how many and how little testing was being done. They concentrated on percent testing positive. Less than 2% testing positive is still less than 2% no matter how many people get tested. Of course those percentages were always going to be high last year because one they were only testing people with covid symptoms. Now any panicked Karen who has the sniffles during allergy season can get tested driving down the results and those with vaccines with a cough are not running to get tested even though they could possibly have it.

Yeah, they also don't mention that if masks made a difference, why, when people stop wearing them, do the cases, deaths, and hospitalizations all go way down?

It seems those pre-covid studies on community mask wearing that showed viral particles are more likely to spread due to contamination were 100% correct. It's too bad that so many people here and elsewhere wouldn't listen to me. It's also a shame that they have re-written, hidden, and deleted these studies in an effort to hide and change the "science."

This is why I cant stand JBE. Facts show a complete opposite narrative and he's up there spewing fear porn because old people.
