CNN silent as nurse’s viral tale of patients denying coronavirus from deathbeds falls apart.

This is your reaction to the media caught lying to prop up the Covid narrative?

Covid believers are not too solid

Seems odd that there are dozens of these reports across different states: See

https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/89796

for a few mentions.

The amusing part is that the COVID deniers don't think of themselves as total sheep as they get played by the media. We are talking basic techniques that have been used for 100s of years that you would think nobody would fall for in this day and age. But I guess basic human nature hasn't changed. After all you still hear about people falling for all nigerian scams...

Umm who is it who has fallen for the media narrative? The side acting like this is the Spanish Flu 2.0 because the media was reporting this new measurement called death rate of 3-4% or the people saying this is somewhere between 1.5-2X as deadly as the regular flu.

Ok, a few people like Dunnes runners think it's fake. But it easy for the media to focus on a few people like that and push the narrative that this is how red-state America thinks. That group is no bigger than the group acting like this is the Black Death and if they come within 6 ft of someone without a $2 mask made in China they are going to die. It's funny when the left thinks its only people on the right who fall for fake news.

I have my theories, but I honestly believe a good chunk of the people posting here are just really bored and like to start fights online for entertainment.

I have started troll threads over the years. Mine aren't political or mean-spirited, but they aren't always real. Most of the time I am bored and just want to see how people react.

I think LRC does have some nut jobs, though.

Some of us think truth matters, especially during a so-called pandemic. If CNN is willing to lie about this, what else are they exaggerating?

The sad thing about this type of journalistic malfeasance is that it undermines the trust of the public. It gives fuel to the COVID deniers.

I'm an ER doc. I've seen my community hit with 2 big waves of COVID. I've treated hundreds if not thousands of COVID patients. Most not that sick, but many deathly ill. COVID is real and it's serious.

But I've never ever heard a patient or a family member utter anything remotely close to what this nurse is claiming. I've never even heard a tale this ridiculous from a nurse or provider. At the very least this woman is hugely exaggerating. But she fits the preset narrative being pushed by CNN. They aren't trying to find the truth. They are pushing propaganda.

First, "doctor" how many people would (even if this was true) say such a thing? The fact you haven't seen or heard such a thing is NO SURPRISE.

Second, this was a viral tweet LONG before CNN or anyone else picked it up. EVERYONE had heard of it or seen it before CNN talked to the lady.

Thirdly, get back to us when you feel some angst about the failures of the Trump administration in terms of COVID,

Idiot

Also, get back to us with a list of FOX/OAN/Epoch Times/ETC stories that contradict basic epidemiology and common sense and to which you take offense.

I think that's fair. Some more than others.

Another partisan "scientist? " Or is this just your fake screen msme?

What is so obvious to me, but seems to be totally lost on others, is that trolls account for like 90% of the COVID-deniers and Trump supporters online.

Real research backs this up, too.

Here is a suggestion: read the article (if you can read). You would do great working for CNN or MSNBC. Post a long article that you know nobody will read entirely, post a completely false statement that is not supported by the article nor is it even mentioned in the article, and hope people are too lazy to actually read. And use the name "Truthhappens to make yourself sound more legitimate. Nowhere in that article is Trump mentioned. Nowhere in that article are Trump supporters mentioned. Nowhere in that article is 90% of Covid-deniers are trolls. In fact, "trolls" are never mentioned. "Covid-deniers" are never mentioned. There is literally NOTHING about your post that is the truth. and yet you use this as your username. You just straight up LIED. Sorry you hate Trump so much and had to suffer through the last four years but it's OK, CNN and MSNBC told enough lies about Trump over the last four years to get him defeated in the election. Keep drinking the Koolaid, buddy.

Just a few points:

-You seem very sensitive. Grow a pair.

-Trump screwed this one up big time.

-CNN has become extremely biased towards the liberal narrative.

-Fox is has just as little interest in truth as CNN

-I find it odd that any criticism of either a liberal narrative, or a conservative narrative suddenly makes one an idiot. My criticism was a measured, reasonable argument.

-You really should grow a pair.

Now remind me of all the times Fox etc have backtracked on countless conspiracy theories that have crumbled or debunked obvious lies by the orange idiot.

I'll wait.

Perfection demanded of the non Trumpy people.

No standards for Trumpdom

Just gtfo

Wow. MSM gets caught pushing yet another BS story on us and this is your reaction?

Pretty sure I've argued with you about the totally-BS 6% comorbidity conspiracy theory. Sorry, I don't buy that "truth matters" to you if you can't properly interpret an excel table.

COVID-deniers love to ask personal questions and debate meaningless sideshows than deal with real issues (i.e. 250k + dead Americans and counting). I'm flattered by your attention but unimpressed by either of your intellects. Sorry boys.

The sad thing is, we've all met nurses like this. Busybody, uptight, low IQ, power hungry, self-important. What is it about nursing that attracts these people who can't make it in any other fields?

And the media adoration these days. "frontline heroes" My god, what a joke. The cashier at Walmart is taking a bigger risk.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh right, my bad, you're just arguing that COVID is no big deal because 250k deaths is only 2.7 days of life expectancy (note: not the correct way to calculate this at all) and "everyone is gonna die at some point"

Another denier with another creative way to downplay dead Americans.
