Right, that's the gist of the posts I've seen. and Schlabby, if they turn on 5G in Schenectady, it circles the globe and burns Bill Gates' SS# into your retina no matter where you are.

No 5g service in our town yet, so I figure we're safe.

Also when I read Richard's post I thought it said Manbird Virus. Now that's something to worry about.

It is a little about him. If you post 27 garbage links and laugh/humblebrag about being a contrarian asshole, then no, I'm not going to take your 28th link seriously.

Again, this is an ego thing on your part. We're not your monkey, expected to sit through anything you post. I don't listen to all the music clips posted, I don't read through all the forums, etc. Grownups can choose, without guilt, so your attempt to shame isn't gonna stick.

There's a triaging method to understanding medical literature. No one can read everything, right? So you use a process to sort through all the unwanted magazines, news clippings, etc that come your way. That video didn't make the cut, for many many reasons. Sorry you're so worked up over it, but not every screenplay becomes a movie, not every player gets a trophy, and you just take the L and move on.

Or maybe wonder why that thing you support isn't considered accurate.

The vid:






No. I was put off by her leading questions but those could easily be a product of post-editing. The first guy seems earnest but has taken on the role of "Voice in the wilderness," which means he's not really bouncing his thoughts off of anyone before going on TV. The second guy's credentials made me snicker and when I skipped to the end, what he was saying was predictable so I ignored him. Overall I learned a bit that I consider useful, but I discarded a lot of chaff. I never for a minute thought it was attempting to be a balanced presentation.

You rejected the video without even watching it.  You admitted this.  Your rationale was you didn't believe the participants in the video had any credibility.  Yet you hadn't watched the video to know who appeared in it or what they had to say.  You now appear to want to forget this fact, and move the goal posts.

Everyone is entitled to agree or disagree with some or all of what is presented in the vid.  But to reject it outright without even knowing what is being presented is easily the dumbest thing I've seen on this site in quite a while.

YMMV.

Sheryl Attkisson deserves to be ignored. She has spent her late career spreading falsehoods, falsehoods that convince people to do actual harm.

She is a journalist, one ignorant of the subject she covers. This isn't unusual; I bet you could rattle off a dozen examples of misleading coverage of a topic you know by someone who swooped in, interviewed someone from his/her rolodex, and ran with a garbled impression of what that person said. That impression may be all many laymen ever learn about the subject and sounds authoritative because it comes from a news source that its users trust.

She has impressed other journalists because they are also ignorant of the subjects she covers and because there are people they don't like calling bullshit on her coverage. Provoking controversy means she's making an impact, something many journalists prize far higher than disseminating truthful information.

She's a fraud with a following, a huckster selling snake oil to an enthusiastic audience. Their enthusiasm doesn't make what she says any truer, it just makes her voice louder. Loud enough to drown out people who know what they're talking about.

See, a response like that...clearly what you're doing is just for the ego boost. 
No one's angry, I suspect, so you're just projecting it onto us for your own needs.

What's really happening is that you're posting something ludicrous and we're telling you that it is. Even backing it up.
And that hurts your ego. 
So if you can't dialogue with reasonable disagreeing information, rather than realize you're out of ammo...it must be us, angry, that you pivot towards - and you get to save yourself with the ego boost one-up of having "controlled" our emotions. 
Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not angry at all.


I really don't understand the alternate world some people live in.  A complete rejection of facts that don't comply with their own thinking.  Reflexive responses without either considered or critical examination.  Perhaps these are the outdoor medical mask wearers that are becoming more numerous once again.
