re: Why are leftists acting as if Cuomo forcing covid patients into nursing homes is new news?

You fail to understand that no one is surprised that he was lying and knew he was lying the whole time.

The "revelation" that the media and other NY politicians decided to do their jobs doesn't change that.

I do understand that nobody on this board is surprised. I wouldn't expect y'all to be.

But do y'all think a Governor admitting to lying about Covid deaths should just be ignored by the press?

quote:

It has been known since last April that the nursing home deaths reported were only those that died in the nursing home.

It was known that many more died in the hospital.

So yes, this was known by most people who don't just believe msnbc.

---

The "updated" accurate covid death numbers just revealed many more died IN nursing homes than previously reported. The NY AG found this out by contacting nursing homes directly, then comparing the numbers with the NY DOH's numbers.

No, but this should have been national news and investigated May 2020, not 10 months down the road. Instead, he was allowed to put out Soviet-esque self-congratulatory posters, write a book on crisis leadership, and awarded some crazy Emmy because of his appearances on his brother's show.

Frightening that all the "democracy dies in darkness" folks play political games, eh?

The bottom line...where the frick was the NY AG and news media months ago?



And, if he and is administration don't burn for this, what's the point?

Look at all the negative press DeSantis got because of that lying, psycho criminal Rebekkah (sp?) Jones, and how the media made her a hero.

No, but I feel pretty certain that if this was two weeks before a presidential election it would be ignored though -- just as the real story, that the order was entered in the first place, was ignored or dramatically downplayed by the media.

100% agree

They ignored gross negligence on Cuomo's part all of last year and now they want to get him. He pissed off the wrong person or people me thinks.

---

They ignored it because it shined bad on Trump. The narrative was that Trump was dropping the ball, but look here's this Democrat saving New York. It was a lie that was inevitably going to be exposed and now that Trump has been "defeated", they are tying up loose ends.

Because of this news that just came out:

So 8500 murders are ok but 15000 murders is just over the top.

The only thing this thread shows is that the level of reading comprehension in our country is sad.

And that your ability to reason true motivations is lacking.

No, we just know it would be if it helped Gramps get elected.

In the grand scheme of things there isn't a huge difference between 8,500 and 15,000.

---

6,500 is the population of a small village or the workforce of a major corporation. That's pretty significant.

Look, I can only tell you what I know.

I knew in the spring of last year that the deaths being reported by Cuomo after his nursing home fiasco were only counting the people who died in the nursing home.

This was known by many. I may have even posted it here way back then.

It was knew the deaths reported did not include this that died in the hospital.

I feel badly for you for two reasons.

First, I understand what you are saying and I never accused you of dating that you were on with the deaths in nursing homes. I understand you that was horrible.

As a side note, the former Pennsylvania dhs had, the transgender that biden is nominating for assistant secretary of hhs implemented a similar procedure in Pennsylvania. He took his mother out of the nursing home the weekend before the policy was going to go into effect and placed her in a hotel.

Do you think this person should still be nominated for that post?

Anyways, I never did you are OK with the deaths or the policy.

Second reason I feel badly for you is you are in for a ride surprise.

Go back in my posting history. I was considered a lefty here though in n reality a was a centrist.

The Martin/ Zimmerman incident kinda started to wake up my eyes to his the news was run. I saw that what was reported by the main stream media was different from reality. They knew it, they didn't care.

The whole Russia fiasco was known to be fake but was pushed. Look at some of Glenn Greenwald articles about how the media knowingly gets things wrong.

If you start actually paying attention you will hate all these people you stand up for. It's quite a hard fall to take.

Honestly, this was known by the media last year. No one knew the correct numbers, but they knew the numbers were way low because they only counted the deaths in nursing homes. When someone from a nursing home, who contacted covid because of his idiot policy died in the hospital. They didn't count it. No one asked for a full accounting.

I honestly thought the number could be more than twice as high as the number reported. And I think if they ever actually get a full accounting it will be higher than what is reported now.

This was known. No one questioned him about the numbers. This what is reported and the questioned asked are sometimes less important than the questions not being asked.

If you seriously want to know this I'm sure you can look it up somewhere. However Google may not be the best search engine to try to find it.

If you actually are as honest as you seem, and you stand up for what you believe in, please understand that you are standing up for.

This is but one of many examples of how the media is misrepresenting reality.
