Here is one with Anderson Cooper standing in a hole so as to make conditions look like they were much worse than they really were

Needless to say the only consequences that Cooper suffered was public mockery.
And then there is this one.

And this one.
Yup, that ankle deep water is really brutal

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostAh, so that's a way of pinning this on Trump, eh?
The severity of the outbreak in this country is his fault. If you seriously dispute that then you just don't know what you're talking about. Look at Hong Kong who had everything going against them yet who have managed this tremendously better than we have. Look at South Korea who had a serious outbreak but attacked it with a full court press and quickly brought things under control.
Look through this thread for a greatest hits of how RWNJs (including the president) completely misled the country and made things so much worse.
Look at the refusal to manufacture PPE on a war footing until it was *way* too late.
Look at McConnell being forced to lie about Obama having left a plan for dealing with this exact eventuality.
Look at the ridiculous poorly delivered announcement of a travel ban with Europe which prompted a mass rush home and only made the problem way worse.
I mean I hate this game but if Clinton were president and we had more dead Americans than WW1 (which we will soon) you would insist on a very specific explanation which demonstrated that this government spared no effort to keep that number as low as possible. Where is that level of scrutiny from RWNJs?

ETA: vido of the raft fake news
However, I do remember the Anderson Cooper one from when it was making the rounds because I respected him as a journalist. Of course it was just hype but that's all RWNJs have anyway.

If you are going to put these examples on the same level as lying about the use of tear gas, failing to properly vet W's "dishonorable discharge," lying about war zone reporting etc. then you've truly earned your RWNJ bona fides.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostThere are MANY more examples --- especially during the Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan coverage. Even Hillary had her fun with outright lies of being under attack, and that other supposed "newsman"..... what was his name?
Or we can get back on the thread topic on the new evidence coming to light, both from journalists *and* the Park Police themselves. "Sparko" insists that a lack of gas masks *proves* that tear gas was not used. Now that we have the admission that at least *some* cops had them will he concede that he can no longer hang his hat on that argument?

Originally posted by DivineOb View PostThen I'll wait for a substantive example where the perpetrators escaped sanction.
I mean.... we killed a couple rats eating grain in the barn -- so, we should sit back and relax, eh? Cause, the ones we DID catch got "sanctioned".

Originally posted by DivineOb View PostNot at all. Just you seemed to question why I was focusing the blame on Trump. So now you know.
I recently made it very clear (on more than one occasion) that I didn't like AT ALL Trump's photo op of the Bible at the Church.
But, I'm still a Trumpster, cause I don't breathe fire in nearly EVERY POST I write "that TRUMP......"

Just look at Fox and their COVID45 coverage (yes I keep coming back to this point). The highest rated shows were nothing but lies for a month on the biggest news story of the year (far eclipsing the president getting impeached!) and none of the "big draws" were punished (incidentally, of the three who *were* punished all were women and two were women of color :|). That's the example you are looking for. Find me something 5% the size *of that* in the MSM where the perpetrators were not punished. If "you" can't do that then claims that there are rats in the barn is just more RWNJ hype from the guy trying to sell you rat traps (how far can we take this analogy?).
