Also, while I’m venting, it is an absolute joke that around my way, we haven’t added essential workers or teachers to the list of eligible people to get the vaccine immediately. Our premiere has maintained that schools have been safe, when in reality, they have been hiding results in order to maintain this facade.

Fear really drives numbers (TV ratings). Covid? Gangbusters for ratings.
Which is why we constantly have the death toll on the side. Let's make it higher. Why isn't it high enough, you know, today? It would make our point better if it were higher.

Of course this doesn't mean covid is a hoax. Get your shot wear a mask blah blah blah. But understand that CNN has zero integrity and will manipulate the truth to scare you and make more money for themselves. The worst part of this video is that it is completely unsurprising and that CNN stans will ignore it.

But if you watch the 2 videos, the CNN director exposes himself hard on undercover camera, the proof is undeniable here. This is just a look inside on how the mainstream media operates and how easily they can influence the public opinion and push an agenda. This is truly disgusting. If you pay attention to it, you can see how much hate/divide the media actually propagates.
This whole virus has turned into a huge politics/economics game.

Which one did you get? Fortunately I experience very little side effects. I got my 2nd Moderna one on Monday and felt a little tired and achy, but that's daily for me.

I went for Astra Zeneca. It’s the only one available in my area for my age group. Moderna and Pfizer are being saved for the older people.

Your really posting project veritas videos? How may **** times does that dude have to get debunked before people that want to believe his bull **** finally move on? You know it really wouldn't surprise me at all that any 24 hour news channel uses anything to generate ratings, they all do and it's why I don't bother with any of them but James O'Keefe is an absolute deceptive p.o.s. and by posting one of his videos as evidence in any argument you immediately discredit yourself and whatever you are arguing about. Honestly, I'm not sure what that is at this point, covid's not a hoax but we still don't need to take it all that seriously? Or are you trying to say all liberals watch CNN, CNN is bull ****, therefore all liberals are bull ****?
The bolded part is just plain ridiculous. You're taking something from a known peddler of propaganda and disinformation and because it backs up what you feel somehow using that to insult people who don't agree with how you feel. I say that as a liberal who thinks CNN is hyped trash reporting and wouldn't waste a second of my day watching it, no sooner or later than I would waste a second watching Fox attempt to scare me about minorites, immigrants, and raising taxes on the wealthy. They both play on their bases fears to keep them watching and the 24 hour news cycle goes on. Using O'Keefe, who is way more dishonest and biased than any cable news channel, to make a point about the ethics of a cable news channel who's political bias you disagree with is just ironic.

Just to be clear I'm talking about the whole media in general, not just CNN

Man you really get bent out of shape whenever I post. You can always list me as a foe if my posts anger you that much. You won't see my posts that way. Anyways...
You didn't actually acknowledge or debate anything in the video. You just attacked me and O'Keefe. Try and keep it on topic.
How is the bolded part so ridiculous? You just stated that CNN is hyped trash. I agree. I post this because in my opinion (which is admittedly based on anecdotal evidence) the majority of people do not view CNN as hyped trash but rather as a trusted source. A quick google search tells me CNN is the second most watched news network in America. This isn't some small magazine or blog read by 100,000 people. I would bet the majority of CNN viewers haven't seen this video and they should watch it.
Don't put words in my mouth. It's annoying that I had to stipulate in my original post that I don't think covid was a hoax, that people should continue doing common sense things, etc. I knew I had to or you or someone else would try and put those words in my mouth. Didn't realize I also had stipulate that I don't hate all liberals and that I don't think all liberals are bull ****.
My general point is that the news shouldn't be trusted and people should think for themselves. Do I think many people are too afraid of Covid? Yes. Has the news has lied to us to increase fear and profits? Yes. Am I afraid to eat in a restaurant? No. Am I afraid to go to a drive in concert? Nope. Am I afraid to see friends I haven't seen in a few months and share a joint with them? Nope. But despite all that and despite you trying to paint my as some conservative lunatic I'm actually pretty middle of the road on this. People need to get the vaccine and conservatives are dumb for resisting it. It's too early to be lifting mask mandates. I think Trump is an ass for not pushing masks more and it costs a lot of american lives. **** him for that. Is Fox any better than CNN? Nope I won't watch them either.
PM me something showing O'Keefe being dishonest and full of crap and I would happily reconsider my stance on his videos. Don't want to turn this thread into a project veritas thread.
