‘The Five’ slams media for trying to shutdown Trump’s coronavirus briefings

[User Name]

Disjointed is the entire libtard media telling the American people that this was nothing more than a bad flu bug, instead of taking it seriously they were sucking up to the communist Chinese tyrants.

Erm...Trump himself was saying that the coronavirus was nothing more than a flu bug. As this Reuters article puts it, as recently as a few weeks ago, Trump's attitude was: "The coronavirus is not as bad as the seasonal flu. President Donald Trump is not worried about having had direct exposure to the virus. The United States is in far better shape than other countries." -- https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...public-pandemic-researchers-say-idUSKBN2102GY

At the coronavirus briefing on February 26, for example, Trump said all of the following: "This is a flu. This is like a flu"; "Now, you treat this like a flu"; "It's a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we'll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner." -- https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/31/politics/fact-check-trump-coronavirus-march-31/index.html

Twitter deleted a tweet by Rudy Giuliani for spreading coronavirus misinformation

Twitter removed a message by Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal attorney, for spreading misinformation about the coronavirus and making groundless attacks on Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

In the tweet on Friday, Giuliani quoted conservative youth activist Charlie Kirk, who claimed that an unproven anti-malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine "in at least three international tests was found 100% effective in treating the coronavirus," according to screen shots of the message published by Mediate.

Under Twitter's policies, messages that contain content that "goes directly against guidance from authoritative sources of global and local public health information" are banned, including the "description of treatments or protective measures which ... are being shared with the intent to mislead others."

Last week a man in Arizona died after consuming chloroquine phosphate — a chemical commonly used to clean fish tanks. The man's wife, who also fell ill consuming the substance, told NBC News that they had taken the substance after seeing Trump promoting a form of chloroquine as a treatment for the novel coronavirus.

It is not the first time Giuliani has shared misinformation and conspiracies, with the Daily Beast reporting last October that the former New York City mayor followed hundreds of accounts that promoted the far-right conspiracy theories.

That is so last week

Do major media outlets want to face the moral and legal consequences of providing this President with daily, free, nationally televised "briefings" from the White House that have become a venue to promote untested "miracle cures" that have already resulted in the death of at least one American?

Have a look at the disjointed conservatards at Fox News dismissing the coronavirus as nothing more than a flu bug:

Well, you just go on shaking your fist at the networks and telling them what they "should" do, what they "need" to do - I'm sure they'll be super impressed by an impotent little Canadian screaming at them on the internet :chuckle:

TOL RULES

Please do not stalk another TOL member. If you do not agree with a TOL member, do not follow that member around the TOL forum engaging them in every thread (even unrelated to the disagreement). If we determine you are a forum stalker we will ban you.

KNIGHT

We can no longer allow folks to follow others around the forum mocking them and disrupting their threads. If you don't like the topic of a thread or do not like the person who started the thread ignore it! Move on to something you are interested in. Please be careful if you are teasing or having fun with another member because if we mistake that for mean-spirited mocking you will get an infraction and possibly a TOL ban.

Please folks... TOL needs to be a place where people feel comfortable making a point or exploring ideas. That's the fun part of a community forum. If they feel like they cannot explore ideas without being mocked they will go elsewhere and TOL will end up being 6 or 8 members preaKNIGHTching to their own choir.

Therefore... infractions will fly fast and furious for those who do not add to the conversation but simply mocking and troll the forum. From here on out folks need to show other members a level of respect when responding to one another. That doesn't mean you can't vehemently disagree but you must do so in a way where you are actually engaging in the debate and not simply trolling.
