…and Slick Willy Clinton, as Governor of Arkansas helped do it.

When knowledge, wisdom, independent thought, even basic competence were no longer requisites for success, then the media naturally slid into mediocrity, and mastered networking and obsequiousness instead of valuing independence.
By Victor Davis Hanson • May 24, 2020
As a general rule, when the New York Times , the Washington Post , National Public Radio, Public Broadcasting Service, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN begin to parrot a narrative, the truth often is found in simply believing just the opposite.
Put another way, the media’s “truth” is a good guide to what is abjectly false. Perhaps we can call the lesson of this valuable service, the media’s inadvertent ability to convey truth by disguising it with transparent bias and falsehood, the “Doctrine of Media Untruth.”
Take the strange case of the respective records of liberal New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Florida counterpart Ron DeSantis. Both states have roughly equal populations, with Florida slightly larger by about 2 million. Both have populations that travel daily back and forth between their respective major cities. Both are major international tourist and travel hubs. Both have widely diverse populations.
Both have large numbers of retirees and long-term-care homes. Yet, New York has suffered 14 times the number of coronavirus deaths as has Florida. Florida is now increasingly open, and on May 19 saw 54 deaths attributed to the virus. That same day, New York was completely locked down and yet saw nearly twice that number at 105 deaths.
One would never know from the media of the contrasting fates of the two states during the epidemic.DeSantis is often rendered little more than a reckless leader who exposed Floridians to needless danger. Cuomo, in contrast, increasingly is deified by the media as likely presidential timber who finesses press conferences in the lively fashion of his legendary beloved father, and iconic liberal, Mario Cuomo.
Yet on the principle of media’s commitment to untruth, the public legitimately could deduce from the hagiographic news coverage that the frenetic Cuomo has proven the most incompetent governor in the nation in dealing with the virus. He sent the infected into vulnerable long-term care homes. He neither applied social distancing to, nor cleaned, mass transit. And Cuomo exaggerated his need for some medical supplies, while neglecting shortages in others.

I don’t have any hero’s, and Trump promised to lock her up…until he was elected, then he informed his supporters that he wasn’t serious about that, it was just hyperbole for the campaign to gin up support. Your hero tricked you. Nothing will happen to Clinton…
PNAC published their agenda. It’s irrelevant if you can’t/won’t read it…
Get over it, every president makes promises they never intend to keep ad lies does every politician. Yet here we are again with your hate overflowing for a president while ignoring exactly what YOUR lLFTIST PARTY does daily.
Some call it hypocritical.
A proponent of censorship…
vs, a proponent of hyperpartisanship and stupidity.
Conspiratorial bs…
Well that’s an odd thing to say…
It doesn’t matter. Dr Fauci was appointed by Trump to run the coronavirus task force, he does have stellar credentials, and y’all beat the hell out of him too…
Oh sure… It’s all just normal to attempt a coup on America, by vicious haters.
The IG’s report disputes your claim…
Some people are so committed to the coup they can’t think straight.
The deepstate is mentally ill.

More conspiracy bs…
You are better off debating a Chimp than this clown Maoist sympathiser! Such perceptions are rooted in an ideological mountain of dung rather than actual honest facts. No one takes this asshat seriously and you are better off just putting him on ignore!

More conspiracy. Seems the fringe right doesn’t live in any reality at all…
I think you have exhausted your brain cells and have nothing to say beyond your leftist programming that regurgitates what the coup attempt says.
Move to Wuhan. Read your 2019 NBC deepstate article, in a wet market.

This is an interesting window into liberal thinking. If Fauci was saying things that clash with the liberal narrative, he’d be a Trump-appointed stooge. But since he follows the liberal narrative, he’s appointed by Trump, he looks great on paper, he can’t be questioned.
That is reason enough to doubt Fauci’s opinions. Because he’s got credentials, his opinions are deemed to be irrefutable “science” by liberals. If he didn’t have the correct opinions, though, he’d have cheated in college and some woman would remember how he raped her 50 years ago.

And apparently you’ve exhausted something as now you’re resorting to personal insults.
Again, the Trump administration’s DOJ investigated this and I posted their conclusions above. You are peddling conspiracy theories…
