Why Current Headlines Show Just How Polarizing Today’s News Landscape Has Become

The news cycle is moving fast, and with much happening, it’s clear that certain topics are grabbing people’s attention and exposing deep divides in public opinion. Whether it’s issues affecting seniors, discussions around the U.S. economy, controversies around candidates, or surprising shifts in policies from big-name companies like Ford, these headlines illustrate the complexities Americans are navigating in today’s world. This article breaks down the topics covered across three “hours” of the news cycle, with each focusing on timely, controversial, and eye-opening developments.

Hour 1: The Economy, Voter Turnout, and Voting Controversies

Tom ‘s ‘Hall of Fame Tweet’ Highlights Biden-Harris Economy’s Impact on Seniors

Senator Tom Cotton shared photos on social media that purportedly show the financial strain facing seniors under the Biden-Harris administration. This tweet has quickly gone viral, with many Americans echoing his concerns about inflation, high costs of healthcare, and shrinking retirement savings. Cotton’s message resonates with countless seniors and younger worried about how today’s economy will impact future stability.

Harris Hosts Concert in Milwaukee with Popular Musicians

Vice President Kamala Harris recently announced a concert event in Milwaukee featuring a lineup of popular artists. Aimed at boosting her appeal among younger voters, the event showcases the administration’s focus on cultural outreach, particularly as the 2024 election season approaches. However, critics argue that a concert won’t be enough to sway voters facing economic challenges and pressing policy questions.

Early Voting Numbers: High Turnout, But Will Benefit?

Recent reports show that early voting turnout is reaching record levels, but it’s unclear which candidate will benefit the most from this surge. Early voting data is often a telltale sign of voter enthusiasm, though it doesn’t always predict final outcomes. Analysts suggest that higher turnout typically favors progressive candidates, but with the political climate as polarized as it is, both sides remain hopeful.

Chinese Student Faces Charges for Voting in Michigan

In a surprising twist, a Chinese international student is facing criminal charges for allegedly voting illegally in Michigan. The state currently has no system to track or reject the student’s vote due to its counting policies. This situation has reignited debates around voter ID laws and voting security, with many pointing to this case as evidence of flaws in the current system.

Hour 2: Ford’s Decision, Bill Clinton on the Economy, and Canadian Euthanasia Debates

Ford Pauses Electric F-150 Production Due to Sluggish EV Sales

Ford has recently paused production of its popular electric F-150 truck amid declining EV sales in the U.S. market. The decision reflects the challenges facing the EV industry, with high upfront costs, charging infrastructure concerns, and waning consumer interest all contributing to Ford’s temporary halt in production.

Ford CEO Faces Criticism for Driving Chinese-Made EV

Adding fuel to the fire, Ford’s CEO has received backlash for driving a Chinese-manufactured EV instead of an American model. Critics claim that supporting foreign-made vehicles, particularly from China, undermines U.S. manufacturing and job creation, sparking further controversy in an already competitive market.

Chicago Shooting Suspect is a Catch-and-Release Migrant

A recent report revealed that the suspect involved in a Chicago shooting incident is a migrant with a history of being released by immigration authorities. This tragic incident has reignited debates on the country’s immigration policies, with some advocating for stricter enforcement, while others warn against generalizing incidents to broader immigration issues.

Bill Clinton in Michigan: Economy ‘Better’ Under Trump

Former President Bill Clinton recently stated at a Michigan that the economy was “better” under Donald Trump. However, he encouraged voters to support Kamala Harris, arguing that her policies will lead to long-term stability. Clinton’s comment has drawn mixed reactions, with some applauding his candor, while others see it as a slight against the Biden administration’s economic performance.

Kimmel Spreads Disinformation, Meme Creator Sent to Prison

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has come under fire for allegedly spreading disinformation to viewers, drawing parallels to a recent court case in which a meme creator was sentenced to prison for election-related disinformation. This juxtaposition has stirred debate about free speech, media responsibility, and whether all individuals are equally accountable for misinformation.

Canadian Doctors Express Regret Over Euthanasia Decisions

Several Canadian doctors have expressed regret over assisting euthanasia cases involving patients who were impoverished, obese, or suffering from depression. As Canada’s euthanasia laws continue to expand, this issue has stirred a heated debate about the ethics of assisted death, with some calling for more restrictions to prevent further regretful cases.

Hour 3: Rep. , Trump’s Garbage Truck Stunt, and Media Reactions

Rep. Jim Banks Discusses Senate Campaign and New Bill

Indiana Congressman Jim Banks recently spoke about his campaign for the U.S. Senate, where he aims to bring conservative values and to Washington. Banks also discussed his proposed End Executive Branch Amnesty Act, designed to limit executive overreach on immigration policies. His platform resonates with those seeking stricter immigration controls and a more balanced power structure in government.

Trump’s Garbage Truck Stunt Draws Mixed Reactions

Former President Trump made headlines with a new stunt involving a garbage truck. This move quickly became a point of debate, with some praising Trump’s ability to capture media attention, while others criticized it as an unorthodox approach that detracts from serious campaign issues. The media’s polarized reactions underscore the intense scrutiny Trump continues to face.

CBS Anchor Criticizes Trump Stunt, Community Notes Fact-Check NYT Columnist

A CBS anchor openly criticized Trump’s recent garbage truck stunt, expressing concern that it was distracting from the issues that matter most. Additionally, Community Notes flagged a New York Times columnist’s story on a Nevada miscarriage case, pointing out that details were omitted, leading to a misleading narrative. These incidents highlight the ongoing tensions between conservative media and mainstream news outlets.

Politico Journalist Misidentifies a Garbage Truck as a Dump Truck

In an amusing twist, a Politico journalist recently misidentified a garbage truck as a dump truck while covering Trump’s stunt. This minor error quickly went viral, with conservatives using it as an example of perceived media incompetence when reporting on Trump-related stories.

Media’s Fear of Trump Victory Intensifies

As the election draws nearer, some media figures are openly voicing concerns over the prospect of a Trump victory, warning that it could threaten the future of journalism. MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace recently remarked that the stakes of this election could be “life or death” for women, fueling further partisan debates.

Morning Joe Meltdown as Election Approaches

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” has reportedly reached a fever pitch with each day drawing closer to the election. With the show hosts increasingly vocal and emotional about a potential Trump victory, the program offers insight into the heightened emotions and partisan sentiments that define today’s news cycle.

Casey Hendrickson on Election Intimidation

Radio host Casey Hendrickson has also weighed in, responding to a progressive professor who allegedly attempted to discourage voters from supporting Trump. Hendrickson’s take underscores the deep divides in American discourse, with both sides feeling emboldened and concerned about voter intimidation.

Conclusion

Today’s news cycle illustrates just how polarized society has become on issues like the economy, immigration, healthcare, and media influence. From controversial stances taken by political figures to the intense scrutiny each receives, it’s clear that the upcoming election season will only magnify these divisions. As voters and consumers of news, it’s essential to stay informed and critically evaluate each narrative.

Stuart Varney, Fox Business, Peddle Pseudoscience To Attack Joe Rogan

Stuart Varney, , Peddle To Joe Rogan

by | Sep 2, 2021 | Blog, Fake News, Featured, Idiocracy, Science

Most of you know I’ve been covering the actual science on COVID since December of 2019 with daily coverage starting January 14, 2020. My was to ensure my audience was informed of the latest on the virus so they survive. That goal hasn’t changed.

Just as we had in December of 2019, we still have politicians, activists and the media either straight-up lying to you, or at the very least, peddling unverified information that isn’t true. As I’ve always said, the biggest problem with the media isn’t that they are sinister, it’s that they are lazy.

For 15+ years I’ve covered the media getting scientific stories and studies wrong. Sometimes this was to push a narrative. Other times it was simply that they didn’t understand the study’s conclusions or they went for the ‘if it bleeds, it leads’ strategy for clickbait.

‘s a great example of what I mean:

Cell Phones & Cancer: Two Weeks, Two Studies, Two Different Conclusions

I wrote that article in May 2016. Nothing has changed.

Cloth and surgical masks don’t work.

Hydroxychloroquine stack works.

Ivermectin works.

The science is settled.

That hasn’t stopped politicians, public officials, activists and the media from lying to you.

Joe Rogan got COVID and posted this video letting everyone know he’s ok, and what he did to fight the virus:

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by Joe Rogan (@joerogan)

Maybe a little overkill but why take a risk?

The good news is that he feels great. The story should be ‘Joe Rogan gets COVID, feels great after treatment.’ That isn’t the story though. He must be sacrificed to the mask God Karen for the Cult of Mask. We must have his blood!

Enter Stuart Varney on Fox Business:

Ok, Dr. Bob Lahita now has no credibility to discuss this pandemic. None.

Dr. Lahita downplaying Ivermectin as a drug for cattle shows he isn’t in the loop about Ivermectin research over the past several years, even before the pandemic.

The NIH website has this tidbit on it:

Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19

Recently, evidence has emerged that the oral antiparasitic agent ivermectin exhibits numerous antiviral and anti-inflammatory mechanisms with trial results reporting significant outcome .

Further down the line:

Conclusions:
Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified.

Wow! Fauci’s NIH has research on their site showing ivermectin works against COVID. Oh, the scandal!

COVID isn’t the first virus ivermectin has been studied to use as a treatment.

Also in the NIH article:

Since 2012, a growing number of cellular studies have demonstrated that ivermectin has antiviral properties against an increasing number of RNA viruses, including influenza, Zika, HIV, Dengue, and most importantly, SARS-CoV-2.9–17 Insights into the mechanisms of action by which ivermectin both interferes with the entrance and replication of SARS-CoV-2 within human cells are mounting.

We’ve been studying ivermectin to treat the flu, Zika, HIV Dengue Fever, etc. since 2012. The idea that using ivermectin to treat a virus is, to quote Dr. Bob Lahita, “ridiculous” is … well … ridiculous. Ivermectin is also approved for use in humans for parasitic worms and diseases and has been established as safe for humans in the right dosage. He’s not only wrong, but he’s also, at least, 9 years behind the science.

So, how does ivermectin work against certain viruses, like COVID?

This is from Drugs.com:

How is Ivermectin to work on COVID-19?

  • For the SARS-CoV-2 virus to make you sick, it has to first infect your cells.

  • Then while inside the cell, the virus makes heaps of copies of itself, so it can spread around your body.

  • The virus also has ways of reducing the way your body fights the infection.

  • During the infection of the cell, some viral proteins go into the cell nucleus, and from here they can decrease the body’s ability to fight the virus, which means the infection can get worse.

  • To get into the nucleus the viral proteins need to bind a cargo transporter which lets them in.

  • Ivermectin can block the cargo transporter, so the viral proteins can’t get into the nucleus. This is how the scientists believe Ivermectin works against SARS-CoV-2 virus.

  • By taking Ivermectin, it means the body can fight the infection like normal, because its antiviral response hasn’t been reduced by the viral proteins.

Keep in mind, that’s Drugs.com, not some guy named Kyle with a blog. The article goes on to cite several studies where ivermectin saves lives fighting COVID.

Here’s what the research shows:

This Stuart Varney segment reminded me of when Neil Cavuto, also of Fox Business, LIED to his audience about Hydroxychloroquine. Falsely claiming ‘you will die‘ if you took it. The Stuart Varney segment may not be as unhinged as the Cavuto nonsense but it was equally inaccurate. HCQ, like all medications, isn’t perfect and some patients shouldn’t take it depending on other health issues. Again, like every other medication on the planet. HCQ has only claimed the lives of 8 people from overdosing since the 1950s. It’s a safe drug as long as you don’t have any health issues that would suffer from taking it.

Here’s the data on HCQ:

 

You have to ask why everywhere else in the world shows overwhelmingly positive results with HCQ but we don’t. Of , the answer is most studies done in North America only use HCQ by itself in the late stages of COVID. In those circumstances, it’s only about 21% effective. For reference, the golden child, and very expensive, Remdesivir is only about 22% effective but is universally praised by the media, politicians, and medical community. Of course, Remdesivir’s maker, Gilead, has a lot of people in their pockets and was responsible for a lot of anti-HCQ propaganda. When I took the HCQ stack, my symptoms disappeared in 2 hours. Countless others have similar stories. Did it save my life? Probably not. It did make my recovery faster.

With the constant droning on about hospitalizations overwhelming communities, should we be focusing on inexpensive and effective treatments that keep people out of the hospital?

Just because a lab shows a result, doesn’t mean it works in the real world. However, we know HCQ worked in the real world because we had thousands of doctors who treated COVID patients daily attest to how well HCQ worked. The political class in the chose to ignore those medical professionals, with more experience treating COVID than our own doctors, and instead ostracized them as quacks. At a time when we had nothing else, taking HCQ with azithromycin and zinc would have saved countless lives. The media, activists, politicians, and ill-informed public health officials needlessly let people die.

Are better options than HCQ now? Yes. Ivermectin is one of them. Yet the media and ‘doctors’ who are way out of their depths are smearing it again in the middle of a surge in Delta variant COVID. They are repeating their mistakes and people will die because of their hubris.
