I think you need to state the implicit assumption you are making in your thread title.facilitate future conversation.
I'm speaking to the left leaning media. Fox News, for example, should not be included in your opinion of the "liberal media" unless you believe Fox to be liberal.I think you need to state the implicit assumption you are making in your thread title.
That’s not what I mean. I understand who’s included in that. I’m saying you’re making an imperative statement that it is overreacting and I’m asking why. I’m in Louisiana and the #### has genuinely hit the fan. I know one family that has it, a coworker with a niece, a friend who’s little girl whose classmate’s dad is in ICU. I’ve got a coworker whose niece just escaped critical care. A friend who’s a nurse and another coworker whose a nurse. So please tell me what the hell is being overhyped.I'm speaking to the left leaning media.

So your vote is no.That’s not what I mean. I understand who’s included in that. I’m saying you’re making an imperative statement that it is overreacting and I’m asking why.

Damn they’re good. (Don’t forget Britain and the rest of Europe.)Yes, the liberal American media has caused China and Italy to go on lockdown by sensationalizing the coronavirus. Good thinking, tex.
Absolutely. Everyone got duped by China and their WHO puppet back in January.If anything the media UNDER-reacted to this. 6 weeks ago we could have done this social distancing thing for 2 weeks and banned international travel and been clear and done with this thing. Now we will probably end up having to shut down the entire economy for 3-4 months.
They have such far reaching powers.The Future Champs said:Yes, the liberal American media has caused China and Italy to go on lockdown by sensationalizing the coronavirus. Good thinking, tex.
Diabolical!Yes. The liberal media has basically co-opted the office of the POTUS and has forced President Trump to bow to their will of using this virus to destroy his re-election. That's some powerful stuff right there.
Because its a pretty bad question. Which is why he and the other 7 who voted that the media has gone overboard has not offered a single instance or reason why they voted that way.Holy poll batman.
I just voted my opinion. I'm sorry the board feels the need to shred you for posting it, but that is this board in a nutshell.
Thanks for trying.
The same thing he always does with his threads. For a guy who claims to be independent he almost always takes shots at the left.What do you think he was trying?
There is a decent chance I have contracted it as I had symptoms and was flying to places like SF and Seattle during the spread.Voted no.
@TripItUp If you somehow, hopefully not, contracted Covid-19 would you continue to place blame on the so called sensationalism by "left-leaning" media?
No shot at the left. This is a conservative talking point right now.The same thing he always does with his threads. For a guy who claims to be independent he almost always takes shots at the left.
Have you self quarantined or are you still going about your pre-coronavirus normal daily life?There is a decent chance I have contracted it as I had symptoms and was flying to places like SF and Seattle during the spread.
You can have the virus and still believe the media is sensationalizing the event IMHO.
Also, I haven't given my opinion.
quarantined...I take it very seriously....most adult Californians are that I know.Have you self quarantined or are you still going about your pre-coronavirus normal daily life?
So in reality its not sensationalism at all and it's very serious.quarantined...I take it very seriously....most adult Californians are that I know.
Depends on one's perception of the media's coverage.So in reality its not sensationalism at all and it's very serious.
+1This question makes absolutely zero sense to me. The media didn't shut down nations, including our nation as begun with a travel ban from our extremely anti-media president. No one hates the media more than Trump and he has repeatedly stated how seriously we need to take this.
If anything the media UNDER-reacted to this. 6 weeks ago we could have done this social distancing thing for 2 weeks and banned international travel and been clear and done with this thing. Now we will probably end up having to shut down the entire economy for 3-4 months.
Yes...including police stopping people asking where they are going. (according to someone my wife was speaking to on her India team this morning). That person was going to a doctor as their child fell and separated a shoulder.India has ordered a complete shutdown. Just goes to show you how powerful the American liberal media is.
Separated shoulders suck, by the way. I got one playing flag football a decade ago, and it hurt like hell. Had to wear a sling for a week as I was moving stuff into my new house.Yes...including police stopping people asking where they are going. (according to someone my wife was speaking to on her India team this morning). That person was going to a doctor as their child fell and separated a shoulder.
Ask the doctors and epidemiologists if the media is overhyping this. I'll side with them.TripItUp said:I'll close this down in a week...and then open another one every month.
If you vote please make a post with your vote to facilitate future conversation.
Liberal media 2020. They get #### done!!!India has ordered a complete shutdown. Just goes to show you how powerful the American liberal media is.
I'm surprised more are not taking this stance, but with the news in New York I can see how people may be influenced by what's going on in their own backyard.Maybe. We won’t know until all of this is over.
Some counterarguments to that.Ask the doctors and epidemiologists if the media is overhyping this. I'll side with them.
I think I found the flaw.As Trump stated,
Science says look to the evidence. South Korea, China, and Japan have seemingly stopped the increase in cases in far less than 2 years, hyperbole that Trump pulled out of his ###. And yes, doctors are trained to save lives which seems to be what we need at the moment. Trump is concerned about the stock market because he needs to run on that over the summer and fall.Some counterarguments to that.
They are trained to save lives, not just some of them but all of them. The Hippocratic oath specifically mentions disease.
As Trump stated, "if it was up to the doctors we'd be locked down for 2 years."
Doctor's aren't trained to think about other global, negative impacts where the "cure is worse than the problem."
