Dr. Drew says coronavirus panic is 'destroying' businesses — and he wants the media to be held accountable
the Blaze ^ | 03/09/2020 | Carlos Garcia

What I have a problem with is the panic and the fact that businesses are getting destroyed and people's lives are being upended. Not by the virus, but by the panic," he continued.

"The panic must stop, and the press, they really, somehow, need to be held accountable, because they are hurting people."

Somehow, someway, we need to get the message out that:

A vote for ANY Democrat is a vote AGAINST America!

And,

Vote Republican FOR America!

Can we fund a GoFundMe national campaign to put this message on several thousand billboards all across America?

Is this a message we want to send to We the People?

401k’s are getting hammered, too. Consumers see that and slam their wallets shut. Then cut way back on discretionary spending. Pre election recession is now guaranteed.

“Doctor” Drew is a celebrity “addiction doctor.”

His “medical specialty” is getting face time on the MSM.

In the immortal words of Mick Jagger, "You can't always get what you want."

Holding the press accountable is right behind holding the government accountable in the list of "things that will never happen."

“In addition to harming Trump the MSM loves the power and control they hold over the American people.”

What makes you think that the Nazi media controls the American people? A bunch of mindless, liberal jackasses storming grocery stores and buying every sheet of toilet paper is not “the American people.”

That shows that the 50 IQ liberal apes in the media controls their fellow 50 IQ liberal apes.

This has been ridiculous in my lifetime I have NEVER seen this panic the media has managed to shut the entire economy of this country down and they are absolutely gleeful!! This has been a disgrace I really feel for people with small businesses that are desperately trying to make it month to month!!! The media HATES Trump more than the give a shit about the livelihood of ALL Americans, I wish the most horrible of consequences upon the media don’t know yet what that could be but it can’t be horrible enough for me!!! I truly HATE these bastards!!! Ebola NO panic, H1N1 NO panic, Hong Kong Flu NO panic, YET a simple flu LIKE virus that is ONLY affecting elderly with underlying conditions the ENTIRE economy of the country is SHUT DOWN!! OMG I can’t tell you how disgusting this is!!!

I can’t believe it either.. This is total hysteria. The people are buying this crap hook line and sinker.. I’m with Rush Limbaugh on this.. Of course he might have nothing to loose, but neither do I..

Coronovirus panic is all over FR. I’ve never seen such hysteria/attention seeking behavior.

Class action civil lawsuits against MSM companies and individuals, by companies and investors, for huge financial losses suffered because MSM companies and individuals incited panic.

Crowd fund the lawyers to boost the process.

Shut the MSM up by shitting them down.

“Shut the MSM up by shitting them down.”

LOL

Was that just a typo or did you mean to type that?

Either one works for me.

Death rate is important, but not at all the only important factor. If Ebola victim dies before spreading the virus, it’s tragic enough for the victim, but not nearly so bad as if the virus had been spread to many others. The fact that people can be carriers of coronovirus, for weeks, makes it different. From a public health perspective, is it better to have 100 Ebola cases or 10,000 coronavirus cases? Well, a month later, those hundred Ebola cases may be down to zero or close to it, but the 10,000 coronavirus cases may have increased to millions of cases. The restrictions on air travel to US from China and Europe is absolutely life-saving here - perhaps millions of avoided deaths here just by May.

You know, “media” isn’t a “being”. It is owned by people, living and breathing. So, WHO OWNS MEDIA?

There are more than 15 billionaires in the USA. The last one who interfered obviously in our national politics...was Bloomberg. Was he a diversion? I would bet so.

Bloomberg is a huge owner of media. HUGE. How many of you read “Bloomberg News” or any other of his holdings.?

If you ever want to know who is actually ruling this country or who has the resources to do so, then go to the internet and find out who are the 15 people who are billonairs, the Elite. Then find out what news media they own. Last time I checked on 3 or 5 owned ALL the national news media sources. Wow-zee!

And if you think the Elite have a benign interest in our lives and needs and our country, you have another think coming.

We’re at Walmart. People I meet in aisles are not worried. They are totally PISSED OFF — at the media hype.

“Bloomberg is a huge owner of media.”

Bloomberg is also hugely tied in to Johns Hopkins which is is vying for a chunk of the $8+ billion. My friend was CFO in major healthcare organizations, and worked with JH. He said there are buildings with Bloomberg’s name on them and he’s donated tons of $ in other ways. I don’t know/if the hype will benefit any of them but it could, I guess.
