NYT’s Suspicious Covid Reporting
Of late the NYT’s covid updates/news have gotten more and more suspicious. First of all, they are burying the covid stats on their front page more and more every day. Today (Sunday 8/22), they’re not even showing the numbers on the home page. Second, the way they are displaying data is misleading. The numbers they are stating, for cases, deaths, tests, and hospitalizations, are the DAILY AVERAGE. To *actually* see the numbers being reported, you have to put your cursor over the graph, and even then it is misleading, because they put the average in bold with the *actual* daily number underneath it in regular font. All of this says to me that, while the pandemic seems to be HORRIBLE in non-elite USA right now (i.e. red states & the south), the NYT is downplaying it. Why? Why are they playing with the numbers like this? Is it to protect the vaccine narrative? To make the pandemic seem less alarming than it is right now?? -Jasmine
1980s Olympic Boycott
Hi Krystal and Saagar, In response to the utter failure in Afghanistan I haven't seen any news outlet revive this older story. In 1980 Americans and others were boycotting the Moscow Olympics to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. This was before I was born but I am well aware of it. How do you think it is possible for people who were adults in 1980 to not remember this? And how has this story not been brought up (or hardly mentioned) for the last 20 years? It has seemed relevant since before the invasion, but do you think it could finally get some traction now? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Summer_Olympics_boycott -War on Terror Veteran

First, I don’t agree with everything you say but I do like and appreciate your perspective..Question: If there is a Military Industrial Complex running wars for the purpose of big money why not an Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex screaming bloody murder about getting a 1st 2nd and 3rd shot? How much money are the Pharmaceutical companies making off of COVID-19? How much money is being made by all the ancillary businesses/politicians and hospitals pushing this hysteria? My Father always told me, If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck then it’s a duck”. He also said, “Follow the money” if you want to know why things happen in this world (Yes, I know, you say the same thing). Everyday that’s all I hear..Get a shot or your going to die. Biden says it every five minutes but I’m pretty sure that’s his “Wag the Dog” fall back to avoid Afghanistan. So, ya....If you could run a segment on the billions of dollars globally being made in profits from COVID I would greatly appreciate it...
