"It's Bur-KAY!"

Last week CBS News painted a dire picture from New York City this week in their coronavirus coverage. On Wednesday morning CBS aired this footage from a New York hospital: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWm0ytokzOI&feature=emb_title This video is where the original hospital footage was aired via Sky News back on March, 22nd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J60fQr0GWo&feature=emb_title There’s no doubt that the situation in New York is serious. But it’s unfair and alarming that our media would just use footage of sick patients from another country and not even bother to alert their viewers.
There was no need to add that footage except to stoke panic.
CBS put out a statement that ‘Editing Mistake’ Led To Misleading Video Showing An Italian Hospital During Segment On New York’s Coronavirus Crisis.
But it seems that fake news will stay fake news, this week they did it again!
They aired the Italian hospital footage again, despite its statement claiming that it had been removed “from all platforms and shows.” This time, the misleading video appeared on CBSN, the network’s streaming video news channel.
“In Pennsylvania, cases are skyrocketing at the rate of 1,000 a day,” a reporter says as footage from an Italian hospital flashes across the screen. “Governor Tom Wolf is appealing to citizens to help.”

This is third time in one week as they publish unconfirmed or fake stuff.
CBS News posted a video of a nurse crying that claims she quit her job because she was asked to work in an ICU with no mask.

The nurse which the Twitter community labeled as “the Crying Nurse” become viral. CBS posted: In tears, a nurse says she quit her job after she was asked to work in a coronavirus ICU without a face mask: “America is not prepared, and nurses are not being protected” Video below: https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1246804028601896961?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1246804028601896961&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativeus.com%2Ffake-news-gonna-fake-msm-caught-using-footage-from-an-italian-hospital-again-this-time-on-a-report-for-pennsylvania%2F
Basically she quit her job because the hospital didn’t allow her to wear a mask from her home.
The hospital was giving the nurses proper masks, one mask per COVID patient. So you were supposed to put on the mask for that patient before you went in the room, and then leave it there when done. They were also wearing proper masks the rest of the time, but the idea seems to be they didn’t want to spread COVID on the masks by wearing the same mask in a COVID room and then other areas.
Crying nurse lady brought her own mask from home and wanted to wear it at all times for extra protection. But assuming the hospital’s reasoning is sound, this would undo their plan to prevent the spread through masks.
I’ve noticed this with some nurses, nurses aides etc. I have known, they declare all sorts of “special” medical knowledge, I don’t know if they are bitter that they aren’t doctors, or are attention hounds or what.
In the end, she admitted that she was actually given 1 N95 mask while taking care of COVID-19 patients after Senator Bernie Sanders tweeted out her story.
Prior to CBS picking up this video, Imaris posted on her public Facebook page that she has anxiety and bi-polar depression and had not been an employee at the hospital for over a year. She mentioned in her post that she was unsure if she was ready to return to her job.
Imaris also said the growing volume of information on coronavirus “triggers” her.
“The information overload can be hard for me to sift through as far as what is credible and what is not, it triggers me,” she wrote in a Facebook post.
Real or not the mainstream media should double-check cases like this before creating even more panic and hate between the American people.
If the mainstream media want to complain about President Donald Trump calling them fake news they should stop making fake news.
What do you think? Scroll down and leave your comment below.
They think we are so stupid and nobody will notice.
The media has already successfully panicked the public. There must be trials for deliberately inciting panic.
From the CBS management crowd of the 1960s...various people would have been fired at this point.
Neither Dan Rather nor Mary Mapes could be reached for comment.
And in the case of the vast thundering herd of herbivores that makes up the Mercun Peepeul, they would be right...
There’s a new phenomena out there too: Dr of Nursing. I just got in to see a GI doc. First person I saw was an ANRP. Got referred. Second was a Dr. A doctor of Nursing (also an ANRP). Third doc, the one who was the actual Dr assigned to me and not in training, she was also an ANRP and a Dr. of Nursing.
It’s an interesting thing. What happened to all the Doctors, the MDs?
What do you expect from CCCBS?
Hey, at least they had the right planet. Give them some credit.
‘And in the case of the vast thundering herd of herbivores that makes up the Mercun Peepeul, they would be right...’
indeed...
btt
Nor Bill Burkett?

Obviously if you are going to have a TV news report, you BETTER have some video to show on the screen, even if you have to fake it!
Reminds me of the old Payola scandal of the 1950s. You better have some winners even if you have to tell them the answer ahead of time!
Agreed. When Wuhan-19 has run it's course, the damage done will be massive on many fronts. People in the media need to pay a price for the panic and hysteria they created.
I would also include investigations into how the "modeler's" got the information so very wrong. Their "predictions" should have come with massive asterisk's attached to them.
Like...."this is not only a guestimate, we've pulled these numbers out of our azz and threw them on the wall to see what would stick, causing politicians to panic and throw more grant money our way."
"It's Bur-KAY!"
More of the same.
Great photo for it.
