Nothing partisan for the partisan prigs. Trumptard is just carrying out the bipartisan US economic plan to maintain military strength in order to keep people on the Dollar and buy oil with Dollars.

So the USA failed to re-establish deterrence with Iran then?

Qasem Soleimani has questions.

Police are bravely doing their job by protecting the public from being in an open air area with plenty of sunshine. As we know comrades, being in the open air and in the sun is the perfect environment for respiratory diseases to be spread.

Yes because people like Dan Patrick have demonstrated in very clear terms that the points on the left are just talking points. The reality is they know people will die Anna they’re willing to pay that price to reopen the economy.

Coronavirus deaths greater where Fox News viewers watched ‘Hannity’ more than Tucker Carlson, says U. of C. study

A new study published by the University of Chicago’s Becker Friedman Institute for Economics makes a claim that will strike many as incendiary: “Greater viewership of ‘Hannity’ relative to ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ is strongly associated with a greater number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the early stages of the pandemic,” says the paper.

The working paper is called “Misinformation During a Pandemic,” and it derives from the authors’ finding that Carlson and Sean Hannity, the two most popular hosts on the right-wing Fox News Network, initially treated coronavirus very differently.

“Carlson warned viewers about the threat posed by the coronavirus from early February, while Hannity originally dismissed the risks associated with the virus before gradually adjusting his position starting late February,” Leonardo Bursztyn of the University of Chicago and his co-authors Aakaash Rao, Christopher Roth and David Yanagizawa-Drott wrote in the paper released Sunday evening.

An analysis of show transcripts was conducted to document what the authors conclude are the significant differences in the hosts’ handling of the topic early on. For example, the paper cites a Feb. 27 Hannity transcript in which the host states, “And today, thankfully, zero people in the United States of America have died from the coronavirus. Zero.” Two days earlier, Carlson was telling his viewers that it was possible a million people could die in the U.S. from it.

And we are supposed to take left wing media seriously?

Yet, the FIGURES I posted paint an entire story on their own, yet must denounce because it's right wing talking points.



Honest question. Do you ever think what you say through? Really? Do you?

Interesting study here. The air quality in cities has dramatically improved since the lockdown started. I’m hopeful that it will inspire better approaches to urban congestion and telecommuting. But probably not
