B-Man Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Much of the mainstream media remains in lockstep, parroting everything Biden would like us to believe: He's fully compos mentis. The border is secure. Kamala Harris is doing a 'great job'. Our withdrawal from Afghanistan was a complete success. Title IX shouldn't be just for women and women are totally fine with that. And if they're not, they should be, because no president has ever been more in favor of diversity, equity and inclusion. In fact, these should be among the top criteria for hiring at NASA and the United States military. There's more, per Biden: The economy's doing great, even as average Americans struggle to fill their tanks. As 401(k)s lost around 23 per cent in 2022. As the country is further divided by woke-ism, virtue-signaling and orthodoxy of thought. And believe him when he says that no one understands the importance of family more. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12299565/CALLAHAN-White-House-Bin-Laden-Pakistan-not-cocaine-culprit-nose.html 1
Orlando Buffalo Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 This video is a cameraman doing his job while what I think is a politician lies right in front of the whole nation(Canada). I appreciate camera man doing this especially since it might cost him his job. 2

How much more mainstream can you get? Cue up the Fake Outrage Machine. There it is, an interview with the IRS whistleblower right in front of me on network news!

Then 3 days after the correction, WaPo again runs with the original lie. Enemy. Of. The. People. On his face, I think that that would not be true. There are a lot of right wingers that are moving to Florida because they love the policies. They still have nowhere close to the population of California, which in essence is it’s own country.
BillsFanNC Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Perfect analogy by Greenwald in last tweet. As I've said, journalists becoming the leading agitators for state censorship is like cardiologists leading a campaign for more smoking. Tell us @redtail hawk do you advise your heart disease patients to load up on more saturated fat? 1
Orlando Buffalo Posted July 24, 2023 Posted July 24, 2023 I don't know if Lancet is considered a reliable source but this is pathetic. This kind of dishonesty is why people don't trust "experts" anymore, they leave out all of the real info to make a point. 1

This kind of dishonesty is why people don't trust "experts" anymore, they leave out all of the real info to make a point. I just scanned the study. This figure is deep in the results section and the axis is clearly labelled. Anyone reading the findings on page 1 of the study would know that 10X more people died from cold than heat. And I doubt anyone with a science background skipped page 1 to go right to this figure Findings "Across the 854 urban areas in Europe, we estimated an annual excess of 203 620 (empirical 95% CI 180 882–224 613) deaths attributed to cold and 20 173 (17 261–22 934) attributed to heat. These corresponded to age-standardised rates of 129 (empirical 95% CI 114–142) and 13 (11–14) deaths per 100 000 person-years. Results differed across Europe and age groups, with the highest effects in eastern European cities for both cold and heat." You cons try so hard and fail. It's pathetic. You don't trust experts because you don't like what they have to say. Do you really believe climate change is not a threat? in Fla? any idea what the temp of your dashboard would be today if you parked your car in the sun for 4 hours?

Virtually every day you post something that makes me wonder….what the f$@k? You do realize that California is literally THREE TIMES the land mass of Florida right? Please say yes. Please.

Yes my car was 94 degrees when I got back into at noon. As for the study if my students made a table with two separate scales when comparing the same concept I would make them redo it properly. But in this case the person creating the table did it with intention. So please tell me what an innocent intention could be for changing the scale on each side? 1

The article lied and said that people were leaving Florida as fast as they were coming which is not just untrue, but stupid. My "neighborhood" of which I was one of the first 50 in 2003 is going to hit 50k in a few months. The comparison you are making is basically stating that their lie is ok since this unrelated statement is correct.

Some people are actually worried about climate change and want to know how many people are dying from extreme heat and where. It might be important to know. The conclusion of the study was clearly stated at the beginning in the abstract. Everyone with any experience reading journals reads the abstract first - to see if it's worth your time. I doubt any of your students have written a 20+ page paper with a bibliography and citations throughout. Edited July 24, 2023 by redtail hawk 1

Agree, they should be taken with the same huge grain of salt. The massive difference between Fox and the liberal media is you don't really see any former IC community contributors spewing propaganda on Fox. Brennan, Clapper, Fusion Ken Dilanian, Frank Figiuluzzi are comically awful leftist shills. 2

The reason to change the scale on each graph to highlight the differences between the countries? That is unrelated to the scale but you did give me a reason. 1

The differences for deaths in hot countries on the same scale would have been less visually apparent graphically. they'd already been presented numerically. ON THE FIRST PAGE! 1
