For those interested those doctors who where interviewed that I gave a link to will be on fox news tonight!

I dont normally watch fox but i will be interested in seeing what they have to say. apperently whether you agree with them or not they have gained national attention!! good for them!

I don't know if anyone watched the second video but on that video the doctor says " if you try to take away our rights the only appropriate response is violence." Even I would not say that.

They are extreamly far right. Other doctors have chimed in on social media trying to point out their flaws in their calculations. I still think most of what was said by these doctors makes sense.

I was hoping they would be on Tucker carlson but they will be on the Ingrahm show.

The journalists interviewing the doctors where rude.

Today was Takeout Day in Worcester to support our local restaurants, so I did my duty as a good citizen and ordered a pastrami and cheese sandwich with mustard from a deli. I called and ordered and paid over the phone. Then bundled up so no germs could escape nor get into my nose, ears, eyes or mouth, drove over, opened the door of the deli, shouted out my name, ran in and snatched my food while holding my breath and left.

Brilliant having take out day to help restaurants on the one day restaurants are often closed.

Ya, not sure why they picked today, but today was the day.

I only watched the second video, which was the basis for my conspiracy theory comment. Maybe "conspiracy theory" is too easy a descriptor for you, but anytime someone blames words as a controlling device of the government/imaginary deep state, that's the word I'll use, and I think it fits.

They have a clear agenda, which FOX is unsurprisingly happy to spread.

Ya cnn and msnbc does not have a agenda with flat out lies. The science of how you have to expose yourself to germs to strenghten your immune system is not a agenda its a fact. If you try and avoid germs you might end up like howard hughes.

Spoiler: nearly everything on broadcast TV is editorialized, so unless you're watching CSPAN and drawing your own conclusions, you're probably no more "woke" than the average MSNBC viewer.

I do think there's a difference of degree (a big difference) between editorializing and lying.

I was being generous, but yes, I agree. I consider Fox News to be a propaganda station with just enough straight news to provide a veneer of legitimacy. I say this as someone who reads a fair amount of center-right editorials which I view as sincere policy thinking.

The core problem is many Americans, perhaps even the majority, do not fundamentally understand the difference between "news" and "editorials". It's why many view NPR as a leftist news outlet despite NPRs actual reporting being no more biased than traditional "neutral" sources like the AP. And others think Hannity is "the news" ... GUH.
