Nope. I can also ask you if you take everything Don Lemon says to heart. Im willing to hear all sides, theres a ton of folks on your side that seem to just shut down everything that do not agree with their views.

Here are my views. I do not know anyone personally, nor friends of friends, that has so much contracted the virus, and I work in the medical field. They had set up a Virus testing tent outside of the office I work at. Yesterday, there were NO people getting tested in the 2 hours I was there.

But I DO know many people who are out of work and struggling to make ends meet.

I'm so sick of this thread now. It's gotten too political. So here it is. What ever the right says. The left WILL always try to shut it fvcking down. So here's my answer to that. You don't like tough tittes.

Anecdotal.

I hate liberals and conservatives equally, you do know there are people who are not on both sides right?

Being in the middle is a bitch unless it is with a women on each side.

It’s a bitch because we have to take dumb people with no individual thinking on either side. Both sides think they are the majority, but they just happened to bitch the most. It’s the same talking points over and over. Give me a break. Reminds me of team America world police

And back to an easier line of discussion...

Youtube is doing a pretty good job at suppressing the voices against the CCP, there is talking of a class action against them.

What would the basis of the argument be (and I'm not saying that they are not suppressing comments - just asking how is that lawsuitworthy behaviour?)?

I believe they are going for unfair practice and bias (which is not the same as fake news). Basically they have been demonetizing videos that are against the CCP under the name of WHO, but people have found that not to be the case. It appears they started doing that even before the WHO came out for China. Actually I need to stop my premium subscription with those jokers too, the company went from do no evil to be like Facebook.

I’m all for the First Amendment.

But using propaganda to spin opinion as fact is the issue. This is why there is confusion when Trump speaks and follows up saying that he was being sarcastic. Many people are looking to him to be serious and his words and meanings to be based on facts. And especially when Fox News works so hard to convey the meaning of the president when he speaks, to only have him follow up and contradict.

But how many “news stories” from the prime time talking heads start with “It is my/our opinion that...”

At least the good ones preface their opinions with an explanation that they are such!

Too many don't.

EDIT or is that what you meant?

Yes. It’s called an opinion piece and should be blatantly labeled as such. I’m thinking the way they “get around” this is by naming the show after the person:

Hannity
Tucker Carlson Tonight
Rachel Maddow Show
Coumo Primetime
The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson
Lou Dobbs Tonight
America’s Newsroom with Sandra Smith and Ed Henry
The Ingraham Angle
Anderson Cooper 360

Both sides do it.

When that becomes your go to source for all information on a given subject, we run into education and information problems.
