Professors hold themselves above the peons. Journalism majors don’t have to take math or science or anything difficult as far as I know-i may be wrong. Who cares what they think.

Don’t take this lightly - Progressives never want to let a crisis go to waste and they are determined to use this one to stamp out all dissenting points of view on the altar of “dangerous misinformation”.
If they keep this crap up we might need to implement some of our own emergency measures.

Since when do journalists/propagandists qualify as health professionals/experts? Yes I seem to remember an incident where Rush Limbaugh was excoriated for commenting on something health-related, or science-related some years back.

It’s stunning that ANYBODY would admit to being a “Journalism Professor” to begin with.

Those professors and “journalists” are almost certainly 99% liberals/Democrats.
100% are certainly propagandists. Of that we can be certain.
To: kevcol
Fox has a problem. If they continue to do what one assumes Paul Ryan was behind, and cut away from Trump, the public will cut away from their TV and Foxs ratings will fall. Right now they have TVs #1 hit show. Only an idiot would burn that down for politics.
