Millions of milliseconds!!

It would appear that this particular hospital tracks its wait times in minutes, as the quote the title grabs from implies. I would argue that amending it to state ER wait times are 17 hours doesn’t really make the situation sound much better.

Hell people come to our ER in the middle of the night just to watch late night TV. Its insane overnight in there. While they watch they develop a cough or a cut on their finger that needs emergency care.

I showed previous examples of overcrowded hospitals prior to covid.

People are just learning that wait times exist at ERs.

Hell ICU bed capacity is almost always 80+% well before covid... but the headlines are still "OMG HOSPITAL ICU BEDS ARE 80%!!!!!!"

My dads a retired ER doctor in the south. He’ll tell you the majority of people waiting in the ER are either junkies looking for a fix or wussies that just need basic Tylenol.

Follow the money on the California media specifically.

Large infiltration by CCP. We already know of several close ties between the CCP and Democratic politicians in the region.

I know nothing about her but Duffy looks pretty stupid here. Just awful, irrelevant commentary.

That said, I completed the thought exercise proposed by the tweeter…if a progressive did this, say Rep Omar, it would largely be ignored by the non-right wing media…the extent of the coverage would be reserved to attacking those criticizing her as racist, sexist, and xenophobic. Conservatives would take to Twitter to say “imagine if a conservative did this?” And a couple hours later people would find something new to be outraged by.

I think Adfontes has the best chart out there, but I always question if they've actually seen either of Hot Air or CNN. Neither is as far from the center on this chart as they are in reality.

I also wonder if there is a way to account for the general leftward skew of major media outlets. Meaning, with every major news source besides Fox and WSJ being left of center, how much does that drag the actual center leftward of where it should be?

Has any of the legacy media apologized for their roll in pushing the Russiagate hoax? No...ok let’s tune into newsmax then? They are the REAL issue.

Read this Twitter thread to remember how morally bankrupt our media is.

Of course the useful idiots on this board believed every word they were spoon fed
