The media wants you to panic

[rugratsonline]

Turn off all the news. That’s what I did. I’m not falling for their hype.

And if you need news, stick to the newspapers -- I've been generally avoiding TV news long before the coronavirus, and radio for as long as I can remember.

So many strawmen, it looks like a cornfield in Iowa.

You guys really need some new material. Pretty soon when Trump farts we'll have to have an Obama fart to compare it to. "What about when Obama farted and it smelled like potato chips? Huh? HUH???"

Stop worrying about Obama and start comparing Millard Fillmore or Chester A. Arthur or something. Shit's getting...well, no, it IS stale.

These are the same folks, who, on January 21, 2009, said we could NO longer bring up Bush. Nope, it's all on Obama now. He owns it. And here we are, over 3 years since he left office, and they just CAN'T help themselves. It's like an itch you just HAVE to scratch.

How many people died of dysentery under John Adams, huh??? Why isn't the media talking about THAT??????

The original story that has been hushed up was that the virus was smuggled out of a Winnipeg bio lab by a woman doctor who worked there since 2014 but was a Chinese agent.Then brought to a Wuhan bio lab.What happened after that is unknown.

Believe what you like but there is more behind this than meets the eye.

I have seen a few versions of this. What is proven is that China and the PLA have been very aggressively spying via the Thousand Talents program. The head of biochem at Harvard was not only passing on research but recruiting for them. Several Chinese grad students at University of Michigan have been caught stealing research and actively spying on US headquarters. And something happened at the biolab in Canada, and Wuhan is the location of a PLA biowarfare lab.

What part is typical government lying and coverups by China and what part was planned? Who knows.

This bio lab story is also believable , bc it is well known by law enforcement in Canada that Chinese agents are operating at their leisure in various capacities within the country from high tech to politics.As the Trudeau gov't is sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party and is looking to give Huawei the go ahead to build the 5G systems.Even though an American top diplomat has warned against this.

Anyone who believes that this is manmade is an idiot and should resign from society

You will find many other pieces providing evidence that this is not a lab generated virus.

Glad to see a viable use for newspapers in this current climate.

This is journalistic malpractice.

12 of the top 14 stories on the Detroit News homepage are coronavirus.

20 of 21 on the Detroit Free Press’ homepage are coronavirus.

The media says things like “we didn’t do this,” #factsoverfear, “all we said was to wash your hands.”

100% false.

It wants you to fear. It wants you to panic. It makes for a better story.

Pretty much every other news making event has been cancelled or postponed. This is the only thing going on right now. What else would you propose they talk about?

I would have to agree. However, this all reminds me of the Viet Nam days when Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather would reveal the death score every night. Anxiety anxiety anxiety.

Yes. People are starting to get weary of the same kind of news stories over and over. Yes, we know businesses are affected. Yes, we know important events are being canceled or postponed. Yes, we know that famous people are getting tested.

In the newsrooms, this is one of the biggest stories in every journalist's career, and the assignment editors are trying to exploit every angle. But I wish the websites would segregate the stories so that we can look at groups of stories that aren't related to the virus.

How big a section is that? 2 other stories?

What about all the mild cases that people recover from quickly? Nope. You won’t hear about them.

1million planes land safely. No news stories.

One plane crashes. Wall to wall coverage for days.

What’s to say exactly? You get a blurb commonly... “x number of people have recovered”... there isn’t anything to say.

In the same way “x number of people have died” but yet they can make it wall to wall for weeks. Interesting.

Again what exactly do you want them to say?

Maybe the truth for once?

What’s untrue?

Sorry ,were not all a bunch of fucking idiots like you that believe everything the globalist bought media spews for public consumption.

[Deleted User 15225]

You realize that is a peer reviewed journal article, right? There's no globalist media agenda.

That idiot Rod Meloni was on the news this morning telling folks to cash out their retirement accounts!!! What a MORON!!

If he said that a month ago it would make sense.
