    TL;DR - Don't trust stuffy scientists who fancy words that mean simple things while making you feel dumb, ashamed and useless.

    Trust Laura Ingraham because she has a highly credible rbf and sounds authentic enough for vomiting REAL FAX down your throat like a loving, yet feisty, mama bird!

    "And I quote the great Albert Einstain, I think, therefore I'm right!"

    IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT
    • Experts in public health and epidemiology said Ingraham’s claim is wrong. There’s plenty of science behind social distancing.

    • Two influential 2007 studies looked at the 1918 influenza pandemic and found that places with layered and sustained social distancing policies were generally better off.

    • The coronavirus is believed to spread mainly among people in close contact.

    I mean, she is a doctor (of law), so she has to know what she's talking about, right? :rolleyes:

    As in the other thread, seems interesting that the conservative strategy is to try to get the folks on their side to have a greater chance of getting sick and die. Guessing they're not thinking of the votes lost.

    What a ****ing idiot. She should be arrested. Then while she's awaiting arraignment at the tombs, she can test this hypothesis.

    It's win win.

    Fox News should be ashamed of themselves for its coverage of this pandemic and the actions of its on-air talent. The channel is promoting protests to reopen states and denouncing public health recommendations from the CDC such as social distancing and wearing masks.

    I wouldn’t shed a tear if all Fox News’ executives and on-air talent contracted the virus so they would realize how irresponsible and reckless their coverage of the pandemic has been.

    Newsflash to any Fox News’ employee: The pandemic isn’t a hoax, and COVID-19 doesn’t care what a person’s political affliation is.

    At this point, I wouldn't mind if they all got butt cancer and have those cancerous butt cells metastasize on their faces.

    Maybe then I could help with their ratings and watch with mute on.

    This is the stuff of authoritarianism and dictatorships. When media starts to blatantly lie and conspirasize against science for political gain.

    Is this one of those secret ordering techniques at In & Out Burger?

    I would never conspirasize their fries though, unless it means make the order smaller.

    I have to admit I am stunned by this?

    I did not think that even Ingram would stoop to this, I have to wonder what the motivation is?

    I understand they want to make a wedge issue but there is no way enough people believe this stuff to make a difference come Nov and then what happens to Ingrahm after Trump?

    This should be a fireable offense since it makes Fox liable, I thought they were cracking down on this stuff.

    I would believe it to be unnecessary in the sense that, if you stick me 6 feet away from someone with Covid for a sustained period, I still don't love my chances of staying negative.

    Unfortunately, it perfectly fits Steve Bunion's "flood the zone with ****" and has been predicted in stark terms by people like this writer.

    If you believe this logic -- and boy does it ever fit the data -- things are going to get a whole lot worse, more surreal, and more ugly from Fox and the administration on our way to November.

    He's already been exposed as a two faced twit since the body bags have been piling.

    If journalists weren't chasing for scoops or gotchas with whatever balls of shitstained yarn Donnie is throwing at them, they'd continue the theme of NO TESTING NO PPVs DAY 85.

    Keep it simple. Consolidate reasonable difficulties or blame into one box (ie "he didn't do enough in Feburary!") and drop it.

    Hammer on the **** he can do but won't like wanting to open up the economy but won't do or complete the steps his own people recommended.

    It's not hard. It's just redundant, boring, and scoop free.

    Make it less binary about "staying home and comply to save lives" into "leaving home but being prepared, tested and ready." That's what most Americans want. They just don't know how to get there.

    That last part is what Trumplicans are gunning for.

    One lie after another. Clips of people talking, like Dr Fauci, edited in an attempt to support her false narrative. So called "experts" I've never heard of, yet should believe? One looks like trump's former doctor with bleached hair. She's endangering people's lives. A credible news organization would fire her. Fox will probably give her a raise.

    @Commodore, with all due respect, and others who repeat this nonsense don't have to go to a fringe conspiracy theory source for their weird ideas about all this. The weird, misleading, and outright dishonest "news" is right there on Fox, just waiting for them.
