Both were so biased that I finally just gave up trying to find the real story amongst the hyperbole and bullchit. Not biased? Somebody posted this in another thread a few days ago.

I watched the entire video and I want my 11 minutes of life back. The editing of footage by BBC did not (in my mind) change what the president said or my feeling of disbelief when he said it. Obviously BBC could not show the entire 50 minutes of the Q & A to get everything in sync. For me the question is "Did the editing have a material effect on the events which would bias someone who watched. For me the answer is "no" for the author of this video the answer appears to be "yes". In my opinion the essence of what was said and circumstances under which it was said have not changed. The president went off script and his remarks cost him credibility. I agree that a lot of the media heaped ridicule following the remarks, but I think the BBC clip was an accurate summary of what happened. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's other videos out there but if someone did a cut and paste like that on me I wouldn't be happy. A one off is one thing but there seams to be a concerted effort from certain parts of the media to paint a picture of what is going on in the World to fit their narrative. Just look at how some stations are painting this virus. One station praises what has been done and the next rips it apart. All backed by their take on the information. Many times the truth is somewhere inbetween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cordero had to get his leg amputated in LA, and a pacemaker installed. 'While in recovery, the actor began having issues with blood clots in his right leg, which was preventing blood from circulating to his toes. After the blood thinners he was on to help with the clots started causing other problems, doctors made the difficult decision to amputate Cordero’s leg.' https://people.com/theater/nick-cordero-wife-says-actor-had-rocky-night-in-hospital-as-she-wears-his-clothes/ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papaya fruit and goat test positive for Covid, really fruit can get the virus now or is someone screwing with the tests? https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/coronavirus-kits-slammed-as-dirty-game-after-pawpaw-tested-positive-c-1014449 Also here for the kiwis https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=12329672 The man who developed the test technique being used for CV says his test is unsuitable for CV as a positive or negative result is actually a human decision, the test is not decisive.
