    Seems to me you still need to do YOUR own homework first.

    You can learn a lot from Google (Also):

    Veterans Today is a pro-Kremlin and antisemitic conspiracy theory and fake news website.

    In 2012, the website's chairman, Gordon Duff, told an interviewer that "about 30% of what's written on Veterans Today, is patently false. About 40% of what I write, is at least purposely, partially false, because if I didn't write false information I wouldn't be alive"


    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Today

    Although, I will agree with you on this point:
    Glad that we can find common ground.:handshake:

    ABSOLUTE bunk. It came from the SAME PLACE as I want to keep that ship off our shores, as I LIKE less cases and not more.

    PURE election politics, with life and death.

    Oh yeah, Google. Heck, they don't have an agenda do they? They don't manipulate searches to advance certain agenda do they? LOL

    Whatever blows your skirt Andrew. Google and Wikipedia are useful tools to be sure, but they very much help manipulate the public perception. I'm not even a computer expert and I know that.

    The truth is that VT is very much the antidote to the propaganda of the mainstream media. They may not always be right, but nobody is. They tell the stories the MSM sweeps under the rug.

    Tucker Carlson has been warning about the virus for several months.

    Meanwhile, the Dems kept Washington tied up in Jan & Feb with impeachment.

    Laura has also been doing that. She has been providing information on hydroxychloroquine for weeks as well.

    That is objectively a terribly unethical and medically dangerous talking point.

    Oh no the CDC ordered 33 million pills from Bayer and it's unethical and dangerous. Please why are you guys being so dang negative about something that's helping, oh wait because Trump said it, even Dr Fauci said he would subscribe it.

    Fox News is worth about 10 Billion
    https://www.forbes.com/companies/fox/#4ab58343a1e3

    If we have 5000 claimants at $2 million each for the death of their gullible loved ones who were victimized by Fox, that should wipe out the company completely.

    Given that we will be seeing at least something towards 200,000 deaths, I'm sure 5000 of them can be traced back to Fox.

    The real question is whether or not the negligence was not only willful, but criminal.

    You can't yell "There is no fire!" in a burning theater.

    The downplaying of the virus and the talking about the Democratic reaction to the virus, are two completely different things. Why do you link them?

    No, utterly BS.

    The CDC did did not do any order for these malaria pills.

    The FDA has approved a compassionate use order to allow that drug to be used under supervission, and Bayer and another supplier donated those pills for attempts to look for a possibly use.

    There is NO information that it does ANY good for COVID. The various couple of places, most of them are nutcases or ripoffs, and have no any good use for that purpose. These same crazy stories came out for SAR for this same drug for the same reason and it failed to work then, either.

    However, those drugs have watched their sales go over thevroofvand prices raised from $15 (according to Fox News) to $175 on suppliers.

    So Trump has gotten praise, Pence and Trump's lawyer made praise, Dr Oz and all Trumpies have gotten praise, those drug makers and all of the previous mentioned Republicans have made untold millions of dollars.

    The only losers are the poor SOBs who need to be cared for and the poor people who actually NEED the Malaria and other meds who need it for a REAL reason, but all of the nutcases who bought this took away all of these truly needed these meds!

    These Tumpies and their ripoffs are disgusting.

    Oh, so the Chinese saying that the US is responsible for the virus isn't a hoax? Yeah, okay, whatever you say! :roflol: I'm actually stunned that Trump didn't refer to that as a "hoax." At least I didn't hear him say it.

    Trump was not discussing the Chinese in that quote and yes, the statement from some Chinese officials about the US involvement in the creation is a false and slanderous statement.

    And it probably still would have been a very dumb idea for trump to say "it is their hoax" even if he was talking about that bullshit theory.
