Sorry if calling you a leftist hurt your feelings...my sincerest apologies. Usually those who make blanket critical statements about fox news and go off on the president are...but maybe you are one of those fair minded exceptions. Btw...I don't consider being called a conservative an insult. This is a classic example of why I rarely post...seldom do these debates change anyone's mind. My point was only that rather than all Americans uniting to confront a problem, some look upon it as an opportunity to score political points. The article I posted was an example of that. Any way...I'm done.

Lol...what kind of sewer do you live in when telling someone to *** off is not an insult? Typical leftist response. Can't win the debate on the evidence and then resort to temper tantrums and name calling. Lol...thanks again for proving my point of politicization....your rant on Trump says it all. Another classic case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. How are you going to be able to stand the next 5 years? Lol

Fox is on all day long...just not at night. He said an entire network took that position. That is flat out false. Secondly, I think people see the coverage through the lens of bias. Telling people not to panic is not the same as saying it is no big deal. Sometimes we hear what we want to hear.

Several flaws in your reply. Stop putting words in people's mouth. You continue to pedal the false narrative that people say it is all due to politicization. Listen careful...NO ONE IS SAYING THAT. The point which you continue to ignore is that many on the left continue to politicize this issue...the evidence is overwhelming. Secondly, you said an ENTIRE NETWORK said it is no big deal. That is patently false. You must not watch much FoxNews. Ever hear of Chris Wallace and Neil Cavuto? They are routinely critical of the President as are many others on the network. Show me the quote that says "no big deal" is the entire network's position. There are many in the media who have gotten giddy over the collapse of the stock market and expressed hope that this event could be used to get rid of Trump. Not only is that unpatriotic...it reveals a complete lack of common decency. Speaking of decency...did you notice I responded to you without the use of profane, personal insults. Think you can do the same next time?

I don't believe that is accurate...please provide the evidence. Couldn't help but notice you failed to respond to my point about politicization...are you refuting that that article was a prime example of politicization?

No one is saying the virus is a hoax. No one is saying it isn't serious. That being said, it has been highly politicized. To deny that is to be blind to the facts. Here is another sick example. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/democratic-groups-to-spend-millions-hitting-trump-over-coronavirus-response/2020/03/17/5f9fadba-686c-11ea-9923-57073adce27c_story.html

With the abundance of local talent he can win one here. First step is to dominate the A 10 every year.

For those suggesting the hysteria to Wuhan virus is not political, consider the following. The 2009 Swine flu pandemic (H1N1) infected more than 60 million and resulted in more than 12000 deaths in the U.S. and more than a half million around the world. Yet, we didn't see anything remotely resembling the panic seen today. Why is the reaction so vastly different today? What is the major difference between 2009 and 2019? Why was the media narrative so different then as opposed to now? Yeah...we all know. This is not to suggest that reasonable people cannot disagree about the most prudent way to address the problem. But to assert politics is not a major motivator is very naive. https://www.verywellhealth.com/what-is-h1n1-swine-flu-770496

Any credibility you may have had sure went out the window with that response.

What Fox News crap are you referring to? Your political bias sure is showing with comments like that.

The same lame crap that has been peddled for years. I have no interest in playing them https://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/mizzou/quick-hits-matter-on-mizzou-sports/collection_a5cb994a-eb37-5de7-b93e-737236361a11.html

@Old guy I did a little research. I haven't posted on this board since March 25 yet you insult me and tell others to ignore me? My participation on this board is limited to very occasional reactions to posts that catch my attention. The main reason I stopped was because I found it increasingly difficult to express a point of view without being attacked. I decided it wasn't worth it. You just confirmed I made the right decision.

Sounds good to me...hope you share that sentiment with everyone
