The Coronavirus, not the beer

According to the site you used, that source gets the same rating for factual reporting as does CNN, MSNBC, and FOX, for whatever that's worth

And I agree with them... when did I ever use CNN, MSNBC, or FOX for an argument? Media bias fact check is pretty much the most unbiased media fact checking watchdog website out there.

Just wanted to point out the source isn't a Twitter rando with a blog...its factual reporting rating is at least as good as the large (mediocre) news organizations many folks watch.

That's not really what the write up on that site says, at least regarding print claims, which is the only thing Free Beacon does. CNN is dinged for some TV hosts says dumb wrong things (which makes sense because CNN is terrible), but the online reporting is given respectable accuracy marks:

We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks by TV hosts. However, news reporting on the website tends to be be properly sourced with minimal failed fact checks

Vs. WFB:

Overall, we rate the Washington Free Beacon [...] Mixed for factual reporting due to misleading and false claims.

Generally speaking, though, I would agree that if you are watching any of the 24 hour cable news networks you are probably making a bad life choice.

Free Beacon is given much worse marks for accuracy when compared to actual newspapers that do the same thing as them, like NYTimes and WaPo.
 
"Neil Ferguson quits because he was too irresistibly sexy for lockdown" is not the next turn I thought this story would take.

UK coronavirus adviser Prof Neil Ferguson resigns after breaking lockdown rules

Prof Neil Ferguson, of Imperial College London, said on Tuesday that he regretted “undermining” the continued need for social distancing to tackle coronavirus after it was claimed he broke the rules.

The Telegraph reported that he allowed a woman to visit him at home in London on at least two occasions during the lockdown.

In 50 years historians will talk about the nursing home policy during this pandemic as the principal blunder.


One of the hottest spots in our area is a nursing home that has over 50 cases (21 of which are staff). Staff weren't wearing any PPE until the mid-to-late April.

This isn't even a partisan issue. Everyone messed this up.

Our government at all levels is useless.

Tortoise shell glasses. Always work. Feels like this might be a turning point in the IC v Oxford debate.

Workers getting sick at meat packing plants and forcing some grocery stores and restaurants to pull beef and burgers from their menu cause no enough can be cut cause of shortages of staff from being sick

I was assured here by someone that it wasn’t a supply issue and was a demand issue

Putting people in jail is a bad idea. Jails and prisons are huge vectors, and should be discharging, not cramming more in.

It is fun that they are letting criminals out but taking in the nail salon folks

Do we really think the government is smarter than the average person?
 
I would have thought a libertarian would have been more keen on letting “criminals” out of jail. Seems like you’ve still got some Young Republican left in you after all.
