Celebrity physician Dr. Drew Pinsky said the “media should be ashamed of themselves” for creating “panic” around the coronavirus outbreak.
Pinsky said journalists created “a panic that is far worse than the viral outbreak” during his interview on the Washington Examiner’s podcast Examining Politics, which was hosted by Larry O’Connor.
“I don’t claim to know what’s motivating the media, but my God, their reporting is absolutely reprehensible,” Pinsky said.
The celebrity doctor urged people to listen and heed Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on ways to prevent the spread of the virus.
“Do what he tells you and go about your business. That’s the story. Do not be alarmed by the word ‘pandemic,'” he said.
Live your lives, folks.
The dems and their media puppetmasters are openly colluding with a Chinese virus in an attempt to affect the 2020 election. This will all fail as their other attempts have, when the flu season ends and there is a significant drop in coronavirus cases.
In the meantime, take a presripction from Dr Gaye.
this whole thing is disgusting.
...I’m embarrassed to be a human being
The virus is what it is.
It seems to be a real problem in China.
It seems to be a real problem in Italy.
It’s not a hoax.
It wasn’t invented to “get Trump”.
But the major takeaway is that it ISN’T a problem in the US. Not at all.
But our media is inventing this as the End of the World.
And they ARE doing that to “get Trump”.
. The media have glommed onto this, as a Black swan event which can only hurt Trump. And the media and liberal desire to take down Trump overrides every other consideration..
A lot of the media coverage has been critical of the Trump administration response to the virus issues. They see it as another tool in their toolbox to bash Trump with.
Election year and the Left needs panic.
Far be it from me to correct the good doctor, but they aren’t “journalists.”
No kidding
Won’t say what I’m thinking about this, except when the hype clears, the activities of those who have been engaged in stoking panic in order serve a political purpose should not go unanswered.
Democrats are using this emergency to grab power to control the public.
Events and gatherings are being canceled/prohibited.
Not a lot different from the order to remain indoors after the boston bombing.
“Go to your room! It’s for your own good”
This type of emergency (weather, virus, physical threat) is being called more frequently. “Shelter in place!”
The dems had tried talking us into a recession a while back just to damage President Trump, and now here comes corona and remember that TRAITOR Rahm Emanuel, who said "You never let a serious crisis go to waste...."? Well the dems and their lapdog media are working overtime.
The panic is going to make more people drop dead than the damn virus..seriously my sister is TERRIFIED, she is 4 months pregnant and absolutely TERRIFIED if she gets this its over for her and baby..she has a 4 year old who goes to school next week she is taking him out of school keep him home for months she doesnt want him getting it and passing it to her..the damn media did NOTHING in 2009 during the swine flu, no one knew, no one cared, people dropped dead, no one made a fuss, but this, this is utter insanity
Who is that?
I am right there with you. Can’t believe how passive our populace is, and so easily manipulated into a state of frozen fear by the media. This site is actually one of the worst.
I came up with the name FearRepublic, which I thought was good, but someone else came up with the “Grim Freeper”, which I thought was much better.
Can’t believe people are willing to accept what amounts to house arrests for entire communities! Pulling for authoritarians that will prohibit public gatherings. This is not America.
The excuses for men that make up this country now, are barely more than sniveling, whiny children.
“The virus is what it is.
“It seems to be a real problem in China.
“It seems to be a real problem in Italy.
Only if you were aware of the virus before it became a political football.
Now you are required to be on Team Plague or Team It’s Nothing.
Team We Don’t Know Yet isn’t permitted.
