    Also alternate South Carolinaverse. If he told white voters the truth, that the economy did roughly the same under Trump as under Obama (until the coronavirus), he would lose in the primary.

    I don't know if this story was on Fox per se, but it's symptomatic of the sad state today's news. This currently is the lead story on Yahoo!

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/syntheti...-a-quick-coronavirus-treatment-132122036.html

    It turns out that the guy touting his cure is a self-promotion expert (he already talked Netflix into doing a documentary on him) who runs a company, and while Fauci says his research idea is sound, it's an old and obvious idea. What's more, this is a treatment, not a vaccine.

    All these miracle solutions are just around the corner, from stories that are barely vetted. Of course, it doesn't help that the POTUS is saying much the same.

    You're making it sound like the guys a total scam artist.While I admit he's a good hype man,even Fauco says this is a reasonable possibilty.
    BTW,apparently a guy I used to work with who is currently on oxygen with COVID is being considered as a subject for transfusion from a recovered case.

    Eh, he can play a bit. He's Cheezy Meltz, a kid who made California ODP one year up (no mean feat), whose dad promoted him tirelessly, even to the point of selling the nickname. The kid had some game but World Cup records ended up being quite safe.

    Or, if you like, he's Freddy, not Fro.

    Or even worse, Megan thinks "CNN" is a person. I was trying to think of a famous person with those initials but kept coming up empty...

    She was referring to favored Trump punching bag Don Lemon, not all of CNN.

    She was saying CNN as an entity thinks Don Lemon is not partisan.

    By the way, Don Lemon being black has nothing, not a single thing, to do with Trump's criticism of him. Not a bit.

    Hey, he hates that white guy, Jim Acosta too.

    And I had the misfortune to tune into his presser Friday (for the first and last time) and he literally bit the head off a female Asian reporter who was asking a very legit question. At least the (white) guy who asked the next question followed up on her question.

    He's rude as hell, then cries and whines about how people are mean to him if they don't roll over, and then his supporters convince themselves how they are unjustly treated. Pretty much daily, unless he's hiding out playing golf.

    Or as Frank Bruni put it today. . .

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/opinion/coronavirus-trump-dr-oz.html


    Of course President Trump is getting advice about the pandemic from Mehmet Oz, and of course Dr. Oz is eager to provide it. They’re a match made in ratings-obsessed heaven.

    Oz, mind you, is not a virologist. Not an epidemiologist. His actual specialty — cardiothoracic surgery — isn’t the most immediately relevant to the coronavirus. But his real specialty is using medicine as a means to maximum public exposure. He wasn’t about to let this dark chapter go to waste.

    Over recent weeks he has made a blizzard of appearances on Fox News, giving interviews to hosts not exactly known for the dissemination of responsible information. I mean Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs, the Trump-besotted pep squad on “Fox & Friends.”

    And part of what the good doctor has done on these showcases is promote the anti-malarial treatment hydroxychloroquine as a potential wonder drug for Covid-19. An article by CNN Business’s Oliver Darcy and Kevin Liptak on Tuesday said that these plugs had piqued the president’s interest in the treatment, which he frequently mentions — rather, moons over — at his daily coronavirus news conferences. And The Times has reported that Oz also pitched hydroxychloroquine in conversations with members of the Trump administration.​

    I wondered where this 2 faced twat had gotten to. I was, seriously, hoping he had caught a lethal dose of covid -19.

    Apologies for the tweet but it does seem like the Fox Hosts are trying the “I’m rubber and you’re glue” approach.

    Didn't even know he was still around.

    "Pus filled ghoul" is an apt description.

    Ghouls and, for that matter, pus in general, find the statement highly offensive.

    Ghouls, perhaps.

    Pus has no right to be offended.

    Pus is a disgusting "thick fluid containing dead tissue, cells, and bacteria...it sometimes has a foul smell,"* just like O'Reilly.
