And that chart omits all of the political pundits, or their ratings.

13/14 highest rated cable news shows are on Fox News.

Conservatives also absolutely dominate social media such as Twitter and Facebook:

Basically, you just said the majority of actual journalists are registered Democrats. That wasn’t what I was alleging.

We've been aware of this variant for like a week.

I agree! It is ridiculous how conservatives talk all the time about being silenced and having no voice in the media when they are all the top ranked shows.

But you said the same thing about COVID at the beginning, shortly before it killed half a million Americans.

Honestly, how many times do you need to be woefully wrong in your downplaying before you start to realize maybe we should take this stuff seriously?

He said this exact same thing in March 2020 about COVID...

I'm sure in one of those books that Abbott wants banned for "CRT", he could find out that Texas borders Central America and not South Africa...

I haven't heard this giant wave of praise toward China on this.

I remember people saying they were more prepared. Which of course they were. This isn't there first time. Their hospitals were better supplied for a pandemic.

But who is just heaping praise on China for their Covid response?

Or here's the response you want.

"I wish we were more like China. So that way Supreme Leader Biden can do a lock down correctly. God I hate freedom, guns and cheeseburgers".

The media loves to install fear into people and this is another case

The only poster I remember praising China was the giant fool known as nastynice.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. The onus of proof is on you. Regardless, this isn't like March of 2020. Not even in the same hemisphere.

There’s been zero evidence that this variant is more dangerous than delta or any other variant out there. Doctors who discovered it in SA said that the cases so far are “mild” and none required hospitalizations

And he was banned. Maybe this forum is not as pro-China as the false narrative would have you believe.
