so when is Facebook and Twitter going to remove the New York times? isn't the New York times a fact checker for Facebook? when will be there be taking off for peddling fake news..
Wow! Good for you. I am on the total opposite end of the education spectrum. Got my degree in General Science at 57, graduated from nursing school at 64. I was not only the oldest student in the class, but the oldest to ever graduate from that school. Moral of the story: you can do a lot of things if you keep plugging away at it :)
What is so sad is that people read the headline and it gets filed away in their mind as fact.
At this point, when I see an article like "cases spike as x location reopens" I immediately go find the graph of cases for that location and it is nearly always a total lie. Just an outright lie. Or like in the case of Virginia, they had been averaging 1000 cases a day and it "spiked" to 1500, but the day before was 500. So really the average was still 1000.
in retrospect, maybe his binders full of women had something to do with the mormon human trafficking we dug up going on over there. Because that's a weird thing to do.
That's the scariest thing of all. They count on a lazy, ignorant electorate--who then vote in the very people who subvert (fair) elections. That's how you lose a democracy.
So while we are making social media overlords stop being a bunch of communists how about we stop allowing fake news conglomerates to publish propaganda with impunity
Fit the narrative.
Liberal media is to NEVER be believed. Good nor bad.
The claim that media is important to our society keeping the rules of law and politics in check is a farce.
Accountability must be brought to the MSM.
The riots in the hood are held up as virtuous exercise against racism. Truth need not matter.
What would a similar “spontaneous” reaction directly against the capital of NYTimes and others like them be reported as? Hate? Terrorism?Extremism?
What can be done to stop the liberal propaganda written by these liberal porn purveyors?
This is what they are begging for.
We have been invaded by the commies from within.
Accountability.
To summarize, a 26 year old with existing medical issues died of something else while infected with Coronavirus was mistaken for a perfectly healthy doctor who didn't die.
How do you mistake a doctor dying instead of a patient? This is why Fake News happens is because all what they do is issue a retraction that nobody sees while the fake story gets plastered everywhere.
How do you mistake a doctor dying instead of a patient?
???
when doctors get sick, they become patients.
dudes had the same name and were the same age. it's not ridiculous for random dude in hospital to mix them up.
it's careless for nyt to not actually verify the person's identity. But the random employee who saw a dead 26 year old named whatever, and them knowing hey i know a 26 year old named whatever, oh shit hes dead, that sucks - it's really not crazy.
If a doctor stays a doctor during the whole time and a patient stays a patient the whole time it's pretty easy to tell them apart and those are the details in this specific situation. Why defend fake news who get this stuff "wrong" on a daily basis? If they were legitimate in their correction they would have posted a new story addressing the correction. This story was the basis many outlets utilized to drive fear. Liberty Hangout (not Kaitlyn) being one of them.
the random hospital employee who was interviewed didn't know this. All he knew was that at some point in the past there was a doctor with that name and age. And he knew that today a person with that same name/age died as a patient. He was wrong, but it's not ridiculous for him to think that it was the person he knew who got sick. doctors get sick. and its not like the dude was a family member or something that he kept tabs on regularly.
and i'm absolutely not defending fake news. if you had actually read my post I said explicitly that it was careless for nyt not to actually verify the person's identity.
I'm only referring to 1 person that was interviewed as part of the story. for that 1 witness, this is a completely reasonable mistake.
you think that random hospital employee is part of the media conspiracy? lol. he's not.
Is iffy. He looks shifty. But in all seriousness; the way they handled any correction was wrong; any correction to a story that undergoes a massive change should be given the same attention as the original story to try to rectify the mistake especially when it was utilized as the basis to stroke fear.
I am confused how it is possible that physicians caring for the man thought he was an ER resident strictly because he had the same name as someone else. If they knew the guy enough to know he was a doctor, you would think they know what he looks like then. What fake news!
This type of patterned publishing of “news” that ends up being completely false needs to be fined and penalized. Put the onus on publishers to verify stories before exposing stories to their millions of followers.
You can for sure if you hit the books hard and didn't fuck around. You might still be in your residency, but you would be doctoring in the ER.

Uh, hello? Doogie Howser? Duh!
Made me laugh !

That is awesome, congratulations!
Thank you! And congrats to you,APN! That is quite an accomplishment.
Found the NY Times ^
It was a medical resident, who are technically doctors, but I don't think have their medical license yet.
They do have licenses. They don't have their certification! Med school -> License -> Residency -> Certification.
Why thank you. I never knew enough about that to wonder what the right question was!
I guarantee I won't question you on internet dating sites LOL.
I met an ER doc in NYC on the tinder
She’s a lunatic who was a side chick for a guy I work with. Yeah, was a fun moment when that truth became apparent.
I briefly considered rooting for the virus.
You can tell from the doctorly front pole.
Doogie Howser?
Hahah... winner of the most punchable face award, 4 years in a row
Minor details. On to the next piece of fake news so we can keep the public cowering in fear.
What is so sad is that people read the headline and it gets filed away in their mind as fact.
At this point, when I see an article like "cases spike as x location reopens" I immediately go find the graph of cases for that location and it is nearly always a total lie. Just an outright lie.

Or as Twain put it, "There are lies, Damn lies, and statistics."
“Figures don’t lie, but liars sure can figure.”
— mom
THIS. There will be a headline like "Corona Virus cases nearly double in so and so state as Residents fear for safety"...
And the number of cases went from 27 to 50...
Yup. Doubles one day after being half the usual. Oh and they tripled the testing...
So in other words it was 100% a lie. They sure do like to use a lot of words to say something very simple.
Why hasn't the NY Times been sued out of business yet?
Orange Man......
......
......Bad!
The blatant willingness to abjectly lie is stunning no matter how many times we discover it happens.
The truly scary part is how many times we do not discover it.
Assume the media is lying to you in all cases. Because they are.
2020 motto: everything in the MSM is fake and ghey.
Double gay
Yea I never take the MSM serious when they talk about almost anything besides the weather.
Or the weather in 20 years.
LUGENPRESSE
PRAVDA
It’s an infection death rate of only 1/10000 young people so you know, REEEEEEEEE
Lemme stop you there. If you have to put a "but", then the account wasn't verified.
exactly. They talked to one dude who said they knew a guy and call that "verified".
This is either the worst, hack, lazy journalism possible, or just straight up lies. Pick your button.
I'm going with a straight up lie.
Everything after "but" is the actual truth.
"a case of mistaken identity"
They never called to corroborate the story, it was all hearsay.
This is how we kill the msm.... tulipso 2.0
Layers and layers of fact checkers
Carefully selected from binders full of women.
who was it with the binders full of women, i completely forgot...
Romney. To be fair he was completely forgettable.
in retrospect, maybe his binders full of women had something to do with the mormon human trafficking we dug up going on over there. Because that's a weird thing to do.
Mittens (Romney)
jack enters the room
Jesus. Literally everything is fake. It’s disgusting how many people STILL take everything they read in that rag as gospel.
That's the scariest thing of all. They count on a lazy, ignorant electorate--who then vote in the very people who subvert (fair) elections. That's how you lose a democracy.
It pisses me off how much work I have to do when I read the news.
As long as it aligns with their programming they will believe anything.
So while we are making social media overlords stop being a bunch of communists how about we stop allowing fake news conglomerates to publish propaganda with impunity
FUCK THESE POLITICAL HACKS, I'm so tired of how obvious, like not even hiding it obvious, the political lean is without getting hammered for it.
The ends justify the means.
Mass hysteria accomplished.
Not even the NY times bothers with basic fact-checking anymore, yet they want to hold the legacy media up as the sole arbiters of truth.
Fit the narrative. Liberal media is to NEVER be believed. Good nor bad. The claim that media is important to our society keeping the rules of law and politics in check is a farce. Accountability must be brought to the MSM. The riots in the hood are held up as virtuous exercise against racism. Truth need not matter.

Time for a seven-day fact-checking and cooling-down period on the reporting of all news. If it saves just one life!

One was a doctor.
One was a patient.
Pretty hard to confuse the two to me. That would be like not being able to decipher the difference between a tow truck and the car it's towing.
when doctors get sick, they become patients.
when tow trucks get in a wreck, they become the car that is being towed.

Wait. R U tryin da say NYT makes things up?
Cmon Man!
Shocked I tell you, shocked!
Was he on that front page list they put out to virtue signal?
Jesse smolett
A lot of fake shit around the Wuhan flu.
But that's the plan. Keep people living in fear of something that would have been and gone by now if it was ten years ago.
Damage is already done, same tactic they use everytime
Whos fact checking the news papers?
And they get away with it. Sometimes things are so obviously easy to fix, it blows my mind that no action is taken.
Consequences need to happen to these frauds.
This isn’t incompetence, this is malicious and deliberate lying. Let’s keep track of their lies so far:
Filled Covid testing lines with fake people
Claimed Trump is responsible for “spike” in calls related to intoxication even though they’ve been up since March.
The Hydroxychloroquine woman who downed fish tank cleaner
Only putting on masks for the camera even when the cameraman isn’t wearing a mask.
Used pictures from Italy and acted like they were from United States.
Claimed Pence is carrying empty boxes of PPE. Complete lie.
Using misleading pictures of people on beaches which are shot at a low angle to make it seem like people are a lot closer than they actually are.
Claiming that South Korea has done more tests per capita than US only to be destroyed by Birx.
And now this.
No shit. People will still use the headline as argument and think it’s fact.
Can jack Dorsey start fact checking the NYT? Thanks
This is criminal misrepresentation
NYT(urds) wouldn't get me to waste my eyesight on a crossword much less anything else.
But but but he could have!
I am confused how it is possible that physicians caring for the man thought he was an ER resident strictly because he had the same name as someone else. If they knew the guy enough to know he was a doctor, you would think they know what he looks like then. What fake news!
Yea exactly: Liberal liars as usual, as long as it fits their narrative they skirt all laws, mortality, all while accusing you.
To these brain dead, sheep it’s acceptable as long as their agenda is passed.
Kinda surprised they just admitted it
This type of patterned publishing of “news” that ends up being completely false needs to be fined and penalized. Put the onus on publishers to verify stories before exposing stories to their millions of followers.
So it was a case of mistaken identity but no one at the Times thought to call the man's family/friends to verify and get a pithy quote.
It's a shame to see what has happened to journalism.
Oopsy Daisy
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
First second and third problem is this information is from the nyt so it is either exaggeration or lies.
Won't get any traction in the MSM, which means no one will ever hear about it.
Shouldn't they be held responsible for their lies?
Doogie Howser, M.D. apparently.
I like articles like this. It's straight to the point. There are no mincing of words, just facts.
