Glad to see they admitted it, but you can bet your ass they were called out on it first by many.

Info-tainment, people, because fear/hate sells and it helps their ratings.
This is your take away right now? There’s been far worse passed off as “news”, and I give them at least some credit for owning it, unlike several other media outlets when confronted with falsehoods.

Meanwhile 391 people died in a day in NYC or Corvona related illnesss (FACT). My sister was on a conference call last week with other surgeons/doctors, and they’re prepping for models which have that potentially growing to 4-5K/day very soon. This was not media selling a story, these were medical professionals, experts using best available data. Ideally well minded/intentioned people working very hard, and/or simply behaving as instructed will help prevent that from happening there or anywhere else.

Forrest through the trees.
