OK I guess that COVID is just as forbidden as politics, my apologies for asking...…

Yep, people bring facts into the arguement, others detest, thread gets locked and deleted.Originally Posted by Spanky06
When some just have to keep posting conspiracy theories, etc., re Covid-19 then they get either locked or deleted. Despite what so many on here keep saying, there are no media agendas, etc.
If you don't want to accept the facts re Covid-19 that's totally up to you but all the conspriracy threads, agendas, fake news, etc.,etc. get extremely old and this needs to stop.
If you're going to continue to post crap then expect to have your thread closed or deleted. Those that continually stir the pot in hopes of getting a thread closed/deleted will most likely get permanent vacations.
I think you can discuss the virus as long as you don’t criticize the media for having an agenda or eluding that anything reported by them is anything but 100% truthful.
Ok, I'll ask you as you obviously think the media has an agenda concerning Covid-19......just exactly what do you think their agenda is?
With much respect I don’t know how you could type that with a straight face , think I saw you said that twice this afternoon that I read. There is always media agendas about everything they report. Like I said, I mean zero disrespect but we have different opinions about that one, which is fine too.
Ok, I'll ask you the same question that I asked Fishfinger......what agenda does the media have with respect to Covid-19?
To me I wouldn't call it an agenda. More like just trying to keep panic stirred. WHO and CDC both have come out and said the reported death numbers are not accurate. IMO its because it's an election year. There are so many facts that this is no where near as bad as H1N1 and yes there are more positive tests now because more people are getting tested. However the death rate is dropping.
And honestly I hate the masks and even though the Indiana Governor just signed an executive order to wear all the time, I will not be. Only at work because I have to in order to get a pay check.
Ratings maybe? I can’t think of any other reason for the media to spread lies and misinformation or to only report the news they want us to hear.
The death rate may be dropping from what it was but there are still over 143,000 Americans that have died and that number increases every day.
The US has less than 5% of the world's population yet has 25% of the world's Covid-19 deaths.....that is a fact.
I don’t see anyway this won’t turn political. It seems these days everything has an agenda. I’m my opinion, if no agenda, then why doesn’t all Media have the same facts? Is it there interpretation or assumptions that they are reporting? The specialist are at odds with each other. How is the general public suppose to act when this type of reporting is happening? Not picking sides.
If I gave you my honest answer I would be violating the “no politics” rule. I’m speaking about the media in the US mainly. Doom and Gloom is the popular thing in the media these days. Improper reporting of cases and Covid-19 numbers In the US have been revealed a lot lately. I won’t go too deep to try not to get things stirred up anymore around here.
Can I ask you a question, do you honestly take everything reported in the media as the 100% truth? Cause that’s what it sounds like in your earlier response.
Ok, so in other words the "lies and misinformation" are fake news correct? Funny how you never heard the term fake news 4-5 years ago. This crap gets extremely old and the #1 reason why the Lounge
is so damn negative these days. It used to be a fun place, now it's full of pot stirrers and negativity.
yep...it’s really all about money and advertising and who can lead the ratings. Have y’all heard the term...”if it bleeds..it leads”.

Yes, there are many deaths but at this point to state the numbers as fact may not be accurate.
C'mon Al.. you know as well as I do that can't be answered without it turning political.. that being said the Mike Rowe thread you shut down earlier is the best response I've seen to this whole mess.. at some point life has to move on, but the media won't allow it.. Obama didn't catch 1/10th the amount of grief for H1N1 like Trump has with COVID.. why is that?
This assumes other countries are properly reporting their deaths. Plus it has been confirmed that many deaths in the US that are not caused by COVID but the person showed COVID antibodies during the post mortem have been improperly reported as COVID deaths.
Well I believe what's being reported on CNN re Covid-19, politics, etc. But I know that the vast majority on here don't like what they report.
And, I'm obviously beating a dead horse here and wasting my time trying to actually have a mature discussion with you naysayers and fake news people.....just keep on with what you believe in, I won't bring the subject up again.
But......those that keep purposely stirring the pot to get threads closed will be leaving, some permanently....this crap has gone on for far too long.
With all due respect, the USA is the only country that I know of that has a substantial monetary benefit attached with C19 diagnosis.The US has less than 5% of the world's population yet has 25% of the world's Covid-19 deaths.....that is a fact.
