Boob-tube-----Top 10 ANGRY NEWS RAGES On Live TV! (Mad Reporters, Meltdowns)

They lie about almost EVERYTHING they "report"-----Media are just plain lying about Kayleigh McEnany 'science' quote

Media are just plain lying about Kayleigh McEnany 'science' quote
"It has been said before, but it bears repeating: You are better off watching raw footage of the White House press briefings than trusting the word of journalists.
Put more simply, members of our vaunted Fourth Estate cannot be trusted to report accurately on this administration. 
They are just making stuff up at this point.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday tried to explain President Trump’s position that schools in the United States should reopen sooner rather than later..
McEnany obviously did not say that schools should reopen despite what the science says. 
She clearly said that there should not be any science-based objections to reopening precisely because the data show it is both safe and preferable to put students back into their classrooms.
But you would never know what McEnany said or meant from following members of the press, many of whom selectively edited the White House press secretary’s remarks Wednesday to make her sound like a knuckle-dragging flat-earther.
  • “The White House Press Secretary on Trump's push to reopen schools: ‘The science should not stand in the way of this,’” said CNN’s Jim Acosta, conveniently omitting some fairly necessary context.
  • CNN’s Ana Cabrera tweeted, “WH Press Secretary: ‘When he (Trump) says open, he means open – in full – kids being able to attend each and every day at their school,’ McEnany told reporters at the press briefing. ‘The science should not stand in the way of this.’”
  • “From the White House podium: ‘Science should not stand in the way’ of reopening schools,” CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang posted....READ ALL
Weird how none of these news accounts were able to include the full context of the press secretary’s remarks. 
Just a total mystery!
Look, whether the science is on the side of reopening is not the issue. 
The issue here is that our press cannot be trusted to convey accurately and fairly even basic statements made by administration officials. 
If we cannot trust reporters to perform even the most basic functions of their profession, then what can we trust?...Read all.

Media Should Do a Mea Culpa as French Analysis Offers a Stunning Observation About Hydroxychloroquine Use

Media Should Do a Mea Culpa as French Analysis Offers a Stunning Observation About Hydroxychloroquine Use
"We have been told repeatedly by health experts to demonstrate the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine and the other meds prescribed with it we need strict clinical trials
These are studies where some patients receive medication, and some do not. 
For many healthcare providers, this is a noxious thought if there is evidence to believe a treatment may work. 
How do you ethically deny a potential treatment to an eligible patient to conduct a study? So-called double-blind studies described above are the preferred method advocated by Dr. Fauci. 
These double-blind studies allow people to die in the name of “science” if a drug is effective. 
They are in the “control group.”
There are ethical issues with this approach that researches at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center addressed with a new concurrent trial based on machine learning developed following the H1N1 pandemic. 
This method has been ignored by the NIH and FDA approval processes.
Such was the fate of the hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, and zinc combination. Scientifically there was every reason to believe it would work
Clinically, doctors saw results when directly treating patients. 
Several recommended that the drug be produced in sufficient amounts and given early and outpatient.
President Trump expressed optimism based on studies in France and China, and the media freaked out
The president’s political opposition would go on to cling to any proof the drug would not work and suppress any information that it would. 
This politicization culminated in the horrific study published by Lancet that the publication quietly retracted...
hydroxychloroquine
It also the only period where the Swiss CFR approached or exceeded that in France where there has been no use of hydroxychloroquine outside a few isolated trials.
hydroxychloroquine
The CFR returned to the highest level it had been since early in the pandemic at over 15%. Upon resumption of treatment with hydroxychloroquine, it returned to below 5%. A statistical analysis of the data...Read all.

Cisco Fires Workers for Racial Comments During Diversity Forum - Bloomberg

Cisco Fires Workers for Racial Comments During Diversity Forum - Bloomberg
"During a series of Cisco Systems Inc. online all-hands meetings on race in early June, some workers posted comments in message channels that other staff and company management said were demeaning to Black people, exposing racial divisions at the Silicon Valley tech giant and leading to the dismissal of a number of people.

  • ...“Black lives don’t matter. All lives matter,” one worker wrote in the comments during one of the virtual all-hands meetings, according to screen shots obtained by Bloomberg. 
  • Another said the phrase Black Lives Matter “reinforces racism” because it singles out one ethnic group. 
  • “People who complain about racism probably have been a racist somewhere else to people from another race or part of systematic oppression in their own community!” a third worker wrote in the chat section visible for all those online.

Cisco, the world’s largest networking company, said it fired “a handful” of workers for inappropriate conduct because it “will not tolerate” racism...Read all.

  • Study finds local governments tilting the scale their way

"Michigan law imposes conditions on municipalities that want to create government-operated broadband systems. 
It’s only supposed to happen if there are few or no willing internet providers, or when a city or township can provide the service for less and without taxpayer subsidies. 
Yet several municipal broadband ventures have appeared in areas with more than one private internet provider. 
A new paper examines how this is possible.
The government projects are usually promoted with overly optimistic cost and revenue estimates, and they claim to be more efficient than commercial vendors. 
The reality is often very different...Read all.

Richard Grenell, the former acting director of national intelligence, said Wednesday that U.S. intelligence officials who expressed doubts early in the Trump-Russia investigation about the infamous Steele dossier were ignored.
In an interview on Newsmax TV, Grenell said that documents that have yet to be released will show that career intelligence officials pointed to red flags about the dossier, which the FBI used in its investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

WHY the mandate, especially when death rate is flat? IMPEACH GOVERNOR WHITMER NOW!

Chuck Ritchard--Patrick Colbeck
"Wearing face masks to prevent transmission of COVID-19 is like installing a chain link fence to keep flies out of your backyard. 
The COVID-19 virus is 125 nanometers. 
An N95 mask (i.e. "good" mask) screens out particles 300 nanometers or greater. 
The hankies most people wear don't come close to even that level. 
So the question is....WHY the mandate, especially when death rate is flat?
IMPEACH GOVERNOR WHITMER NOW!
All it takes is ONE MI Representative to get the ball rolling."

FOX 35 INVESTIGATES: Questions raised after fatal motorcycle crash listed as COVID-19 death
A person who died in a motorcycle accident was added to Florida’s COVID-19 death count, according to a state health official.
FOX 35 News found this out after asking Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino whether two coronavirus victims who were in their 20s had any underlying conditions. 
One of his answers surprised us. 
“The first one didn’t have any. He died in a motorcycle accident,” Pino said.
Dr. Pino was asked if the man’s data was removed.
“I don’t think so. I have to double-check,” Pino said. “We were arguing, discussing, or trying to argue with the state. 
Not because of the numbers -- it’s 100…it doesn’t make any difference if it's 99 -- but the fact that the individual didn’t die from COVID-19…died in the crash. 
But you could actually argue that it could have been the COVID-19 that caused him to crash. I don’t know the conclusion of that one.”
There are still two people in their 20s on Orange County’s data list for coronavirus deaths...Read all.
