I know we just discussed this yesterday, but if you are interested in seeing how the MSM goes about spinning stories here is a case study in news slanting. Both stories are based on the exact same information from the same source; they even contain some of the same quotes.
Daily Mail take: OMICRON! Danger, danger! EVERYONE LOCKDOWN!
Dr Angelique Coetzee, who runs a private practice in the South African administrative capital of Pretoria, said she first noticed earlier this month that Covid patients were presenting with a host of odd symptoms.
“‘Unusual’ symptoms of mutant Covid strain: South African doctor who first raised alarm about Omicron warns its early signs are 'MILD' and patients do NOT lose their sense of smell!”
vs.
PJ Media take:
Dr. Angelique Coetzee, the South African doctor responsible for alerting health officials about the omicron variant of COVID-19 says it presents “unusual but mild” symptoms.
Coetzee first observed patients with unusual symptoms who were otherwise healthy in mid-November.
Your choice: go with PJ Media version of Omicron and get on with your life:
Or go with the Daily Mail’s version (correctly renamed by Abenaki to the Omigod! variant) and get ready for the great toilet paper shortage of 2022:
Congratulations Abenaki – you’ve won the internet today!

More samples of presstitute’s convoluted thinking:
<><>The tragedy in Waukesha, Wisconsin is being called a “parade crash” by liberal media outlets.
<><>Kyle Rittenhouse is a ‘murdering white supremacist.’
<><>convicted white felons who attacked Rittenhouse — a domestic abuser and rapist, a pedophile, and a burglar — are ‘victims.’
<><>Snopes says the three felons were there to ‘peacefully protest.’
<><>the arson, looting and property destruction was rarely reported during Rittenhouse’s trial or after his acquittal.
Another example, from WaPo: Dr, now Admiral?, Levine, “first woman” to attain that rank.
At least the WH used the term transgender.
“get on with your life”
“get ready for the great toilet paper shortage of 2022”
These two choices are not mutually exclusive. If you hold that they are, you may have to get on with your life without toilet paper.
Both DM and PJ Media like to pick out small bits to put in quotes.
I noticed that Dr. Coetzee, speaking of the Omicron strain in an interview said, “....yes, we are going into a real problem going forward.”
THAT is a real quote!!! However, it is a totally inaccurate interpretation of what she was saying.
My point is that when it comes to Covid, NO ONE CAN BE BELIEVED TO BE 100% HONEST!!!!
Dow tumbles 900 points for worst day of year on fears of new Covid variant, S&P 500 drops 2%

“Hmmm. Remember what happened on 9/11/2001 to the airline stocks? I’m having déjà vu.
All the hype over Nu/Xi/Omicron and hysterical headlines of travel bans/lockdowns with later - suppressed - facts about its mild illness...I can’t help but wonder if this holiday ‘gift’ didn’t enrich some key people (its sole intent).
Ya know???
We’ll just have to see how this week plays out.”
...OR believe that you got duped by sleight of hand.
Nauseating.
EXPOSES: Laboratory release of COVID-19 caught on Wuhan lab video tape! You must see this!!
