Media outright lies about Covid hospitalisations. Again. (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

Also note this bit of phrasing here...

In actuality, 783 children were admitted to Texas hospitals with COVID-19 between July 1 and Aug.9 of this year

Bold emphasis is the real highlight.

These kids were admitted to the hospitals... WITH COVID... not BECAUSE of COVID.

For all we know, these kids could have been admitted because they broke their arm, and just so happens also had COVID. They could have gone in for some other ailment and, oh, they also had COVID.

This kind of phrasing and mixing of the numbers is something the CDC has also been pulling, but when you really look into the data it's all bunk.

Technically, it's not lies --- maybe those kids were admitted and did have COVID -- but nothing in their wording signifies that they were actually admitted to the hospital because of COVID.

I hate that the media is so deceptive we have to digest everything written like a lawyer would.

I would almost be willing to bet they actually do have their lawyers comb over every statement like that to ensure that they can't be sued for misinforming (viz., disinforming) the public if people make a hazardous decision based on said report(s). Their plausible deniability would be that people got the vaccine of their own free will and that the numbers they put out regarding hospitalizations weren't lies at all.

In this case, even the correction leaned in the same direction.

It is strange that under biden the amount of fake reporting increases by over 400%

Original story was off by ~4000%.

Correction tried to fool you into thinking it was only off by ~400%.

No wonder they're removing math requirements from public high schools.

Imagine if states like Texas and Florida actually did something about targeted libel by mass media.

What's a 740% error (not to mention the timeframe difference) between friends? I'm sure this was entirely accidental.

Banned for spamming 478 comments in an hour.

They are really going hard at Texas and Florida right now. All of the media, both lamestream and social, is just "fear fear fear fear fear," but thankfully when I'm out in public I'm just not seeing it translate. A lot of the employees of the stores are wearing masks (but I think that's because the companies are "encouraging" them to) but everyone else is just going about as if nothing is wrong.

Quality journalism doesn't come free

Emphasis mine but I still chuckled.

They've been force feeding the fear porn here in Texas for months now. What do I see? Places are busy and the vast majority of people are not wearing masks. If they wanted masks and lockdowns, they'd start by staying home and putting the masks on. Yet they choose not to. The people have spoken.

Unless you're in a leftist dominated county where they are doing anything they can to force their damn masks.

There's no pandemic. It's a cold and flu season. Mighty low of one at that.

So we know what they are doing and how. But why? Is it simply politics. Is their an unknown medical motive for the vaccine? Why are they so determined to inject everyone? Is it cover for ruining the economy as their means to steal a national elections or is there more to it? Why are other countries pushing it as hard or harder then?

We already know the vaccine doesn’t stop spread and only reduces symptoms, at best. We know that the vaccine has enabled new strains to thrive and spread.
