The Old Folks Home

Thanks Vehve

I think bringing the two Americans home was both safe and calculated.

It ensured they had the best chance of survival and also gave cdc academia the opportunity to study real patients.

The transportation was performed very safely. The hospital unit is very well trained.

As far as who gets treated or vaccinated first when there are limited options it should be medical personnel. They put their lives on the line to treat the sick.

There have only been a handful of people treated with this unproven drug. It makes sense to treat those you can study in follow up.

I think the point is that this disease has been a serious problem for a very long time and it's only now that "western medicine" has taken an interest in being able to "study in follow up."

I love watching MSNBC finding "crises" that we all need to panic about and somehow all of these crises involve a dramatic need for us to either open our wallets or cede our rights in the interests of the children, etc.

The most interesting show regarding the news was one I saw several years ago involving management and programming development staff from several news networks (not including Fox.) The audience was allowed to ask them questions and give them feedback. Over and over members of the audience told them they wanted real news, with information ,and they didn't like the efforts to bias the public with selective and highly adjectival reporting. They made it clear they felt that news broadcasting was heavily biased.

Do you know what the managers on that show told the audience? They told them that they didn't really want objective news, that what they wanted was entertainment and reinforcement of their own beliefs, and that part of the duty of the media was to encourage more "progressive" and "enlightened" attitudes. Most of the audience appeared to be in shock.

I had long been of the opinion that the purpose of news was no longer to report, but to attempt to mold public opinion.

Well, I guess that says it in a nutshell. "We can't handle the news". I feel like Jack Nichols.

The progressives have been working since way before FDR to mold the public opinion. Where did I learn this? (Glenn Beck)

I think I will just stop watching, reading, or listening to news, all together. Y'all let me know if there is something I need to be aware of..............

I'll PM you.

So true.

The audience base are those that already believe the slant that is being delivered. It's so easy to make money. Determine what a large segment of the population already believes and broadcast things that reinforce those beliefs. Doesn't matter if there is much truth woven into it.
How can a network as large as fox, even though they've employed people like Beck and Hannity, continue to bring on the perennially wrong Bill Kristoll and John Bolton.
I really want that gig. I can make stuff up and declare that it's good info, stick to the line and let somebody pay me year after year.

I've just been laughing out loud through the last several pages.

I'm just gonna sit over here by my lonesome till y'all are done with politics. Two reasons I don't discuss either politics or religion...1. Both are very personal to me and 2. I don't like the way it makes people all mad at each other. So I'm gonna start a pot of coffee, break out the Kailua look at pictures of y'all's chickens.

Hi oz!!! Glad you made it safe and sound. Maddy and I are watching a "Fairly Odd Parents" marathon and I think my brain is turning to mush.
Big thunderstorm is making it's way through Limestone right now. We barely had time to get the chickens back in the run before the skies opened up. Lured them in with pb&j crusts.
