He misspelled nauseous.
Pretty much. Went to a local TV station's news page and they had eighteen stories on it. Eight were illustrated with stock photos. Something like this:
The stories were police press releases that had been copied and pasted. Five were press releases, disguised as news stories, some guy got appointed to some city position, photo was a portrait of the guy supplied with the press release, Two were social media stories, grabbed off Facebook, with the picture from Facebook. One was a story about a fire, the photo was a cell phone photo a citizen sent them. Two had actual photos where someone went out there, and they were cops standing around in a parking lot.
The beast of the internet requires feeding. Many reporters don't do anything but catch stuff that gets thrown to them and post it on the station web site. They don't have time to do anything else.
Sadly, the beach story may not have even been a deliberate attempt by a lot of the papers to disinform. They grabbed a Dem press release and got a stock photo of people on a beach.
Of course, the Dems wanted the story planted, and may have provided the photo, but "news" agencies catch stuff and print it without vetting for the majority of their stories.
Deaths are a lagging indicator. The real stat to follow is new cases per day.

Graphs influenza-like illness.
Sadly, the local papers are primarily stock articles. Our newspaper is down to a skeleton crew with one or two articles of local interest. The paper itself is only a few pages.
They did it to themselves. Liberal articles, advertising rate hikes, and editorials drove conservatives and businesses away.
No not dead. He’s ok, per thread comment/link.

Ellen DeGeneres is catching a LOT of flack right now. She's doing her show from home, and not using her regular crew, some of whom have been with her for the seventeen years since her show started. She's bringing in non-union people for camera, lighting, etc.
IF, as a lot of us believe, Hanks, DeGeneres, etc., are now controlled, it makes sense.
The union would give her a ton of hassles for using non-union people, they were already set up and had a routine for the show, and just the comfort factor of having familiar people around, plus avoiding the bad publicity would make the extra cost of using her own people seem like a no brainer.
If she's controlled, though, other people could be providing the crew. I think she's being kept isolated.
Brutal is right! It's great that it's on the web but I'd love to see that on regular broadcast tv.
Nobody advertises in newspapers anymore.
Printing costs went way up. Delivery costs went way up. Advertising revenue went way down.
:) I hope Biden doesn’t drop out. I don’t want to be deprived of seeing Trump humiliate him in a debate.
SOME EVIL SOBs just got arrested
Yup

I may just have to celebrate with a glass of wine tonight.
We lost my Mom last year, which considering what's going on with this virus, in hindsight, it was probably a blessing for her.
I'll keep you both in my prayers and hope he pulls through just fine. Having his kids around him is a good thing to keep him focused on their well being and needs.
Thanks for that, lj....
Don't ya just love it when a plan/WAG comes together?
(Especially when dissin' the MSM doesn't count as WAG.)
Our stores were still advertising in the local papers and also on the internet. That was before CoronaChan. Now there’s no ads on line or paper.
you got that right!
Too bad that AU doesn’t have the death penalty. Child rapists need to be executed.
Someone is right and someone is wrong. We shall see....
Can’t see it....
