CBS News admits 'mistake' after airing footage of overcrowded Italian hospital in report about NYC

https://www.foxnews.com/media/cbs-ne...ually-in-italy

https://www.wcbm.com/2020/04/01/cbs-...ort-about-nyc/

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...ian-hospital-/

https://www.dailywire.com/news/cbs-n...port-about-nyc

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.

Newsom gave a live address to the state to tell us about the statewide lockdown, and complimented the Pres for the recent support. This was seen by millions and reported on. Stop trying to make shit up (“CNN shredding”) to fan the flames, further polarize.

Speaking of flames, the governor even held his composure after Trump had just accused him of “poor forrest management”, and then with all present twice called the town or Paradise, the town of “Pleasure”. That said, he didn’t have to speak up, an exhausted firefighter corrected him on camera. Roughly 90% of that “town” of about 25-30K’s structures had just been completely destroyed.

It shouldn’t be hard for you to find the governor’s live address on line, I’ll let you do the investigative leg work.

... Or don’t, and you can just happily keep working to drive the wedge between people. More divisiveness is exactly what we need right now.. as well as your great public health advice from prior posts. People dying are just in “overtime”, right?

No, the message I was trying to convey was don't always believe what you are told, even if it is from MSM, and to always keep an open mind and do some research yourself before you draw conclusions.

Just like ABC showed footage from a NJ gun range and tried to pass it off as a war zone from Syria, there are many others out there, the majority left leaning, that do this constantly without consequence.

Were you aware of the story CNN fabricated about Nick Sandman all because he was wearing a red MAGA hat?

He just won a large settlement from them and is going after others who also portrayed him in a negative/false light.

This kid and his family had death threats against them and were told and called all sorts of things.
Did you hear anything from CNN about losing this case and having to pay out millions to him? I highly doubt it but we should have.
Here's the real story. I assume you are familiar with the fake one they made to make Trump and all his supporters look like evil bastards?

I despise CNN and MSNBC and a few others up here as well. Their blatant lies and manipulation bothers me when I see people get gut hooked into believing them thinking they are getting the truth and the whole story.

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/washington-times/ -- MIXED (below VOX's Mostly Factual Rating)

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-daily-wire/ -- MIXED (below VOX's Mostly Factual Rating) - and far right leaning

WCBM is a far right radio wing of Fox News

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fox-news/ - MIXED (below VOX's Mostly Factual Rating) - and far right leaning

How are you going to call out a VOX link for being infotainment because it has a LEFT bias and then post 4 links to websites with a RIGHT bias, each of which have lower factual ratings than VOX?

No, just showing many other news outlets are also covering this story so it is highly unlikely it is made up B.S.

Although the Washington Times has a very strong right editorial bias, they report straight news with a much lower bias.


FOX: however straight news reporting is generally reliable, therefore we rate them Mixed for factual reporting.


Vox: Overall, we rate Vox Left Biased due to wording and story selection that routinely favors the left. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High, due to two failed fact checks, with only one offering a correction.

I'll trust/believe the 2 above Vox first but like I also said or alluded to earlier, I am pretty much fed up with anything MSM has to say anymore.

Jake Tapper (CNN) interviewed Governor Gavin Newsom (Democrat) today and he tried to get him to say negative things about Trump, and goes so how would you evaluate the President's job so far. Newsom, even shocked me a bit, goes he's done a great job and goes on praising him. The look on Tapper's face, he never saw that coming. And oddly enough I can't find it or I'd post the link. CNN is probably shredding it in the back room right now.
