Author Michael Hooten on his disgust with the MSM pumping alarmism and twisting the words even of minor bureaucrats over Trump and COVID-19:

... Because the next thing I looked for was Dr Fauci’s wanting a 14-day national shutdown. That was the implication you got, wasn’t it? But it took me a bit to find that actual video as well. And it was not exactly what it was advertised to be, what a shock. Dr Fauci urged caution, preferred over-reaction to under reaction, but also urged rational approach. Not all areas needed a shutdown, he said. And not all places were going to be as affected. And the situation is serious, but not dire. But don’t trust me, watch it for yourself.

I hate the press right now. The words they use are designed to scare. The stories they highlight are the most extreme. They do not compare it to previous pandemics, or even to the typical flu. The misinformation is subtle, and they claim to be giving us the facts, but then they spread rumor and innuendo. Are the facts there? Kind of. If you look. But it’s not what they highlight.
