Why did every evening news outlet run with this false story? Where did it come from?

There are lots of really smart Freepers here. Please tell me how I can find out where this came from.

Another contender is the narrative that the media and libs were so concerned about COVID and trying to raise the alarm during the critical first months when in actuality if you go back in time you’d find at that point they were busy chasing Trump around with the impeachment stupidity.

U.S. has now most reported confirmed cases.

China clearly has lied.

We aren’t and gave tested a lot.

U.S. does not have the most deaths.

The US does not have the most on a per capita basis. They compare “We count to our advantage China” to the US. Then they compare Italy to the US. Italy has a population of 60 million.

What can one expect from journalists?

You gave the answer already. You just didn’t know it. Here, I’ll help.

“Hillary Clinton mocked the President for being #1 in CV-19 cases. This story was very unlikely to be true,had no documentation, yet no one challenged it. It was on every news program. Where did this story come from? Hillary Clinton mocked the President for being #1 in CV-19 cases. This story was very unlikely to be true,had no documentation, yet no one challenged it.

Early on it was decided by libtard pols and their media allies they could use this crisis as a way to go after Trump, get a second impeachment reason.

The more important statistic is the mortality rate. The USA is second lowest in the world, second only to Germany. And some people find the German stats suspicious.

Well technically they are correct, based upon confirmed CCP virus numbers. However, that does not make it the reality.

According to COVID19INFO.COM:

#1) US has: 238,422 confirmed cases
#2) Italy has: 115,242

With the current MSM, always look for the political propaganda angle first, in every “news story” presented. If you do that, you’ll see the truth buried 98% of the time, and you won’t be so easily mislead.

Not directed at you personally, but to everyone in general.

I could be wrong but I believe the numbers that the media are fed come from WHO which is a corrupt pro-CCP operation headed by a Marxist. The mediots accept the data apparently without question because their interests and the UN/CCP’s are apparently the same.

We have a lot compared to individual, smaller, countries. Compared to Europe as a whole, we come out pretty good.

I’m now fairly convinced this whole thing was a scam. A similar story:

There was a guy that would come on to Coast to Coast about 20 years ago and always accuately predict earthquakes on the “ring of fire”. It was amazing. Sure, some of them were not very big, but it always happened. Then one day I did some research (as search engines came of age) and discovered there is constant activity on the ring, so all predictions will come true.

Well, looks like that is what has happened here. We have been bamboozled. This sort of virus happens every year.
for all we know, many of last year’s deaths were this same virus.

Watch and learn.

Exactly! Most are owned by the CCP.

I bet some are on the payroll.

Don’t worry. All is well.

The number of cases is going up very slowly. Today’s number is not all in, yet, but I’m sure it won’t go much higher. Yesterday’s total was 212,747. And besides, look at the deaths to recoveries ratio—not bad at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic#Epidemiology

United States

Cases 240,120

Deaths 5,794

Recoveries 10,365

It came from the CCP and our traitorous, swampy media ran with. It's corruption.

It came from China (false data) first into the boardrooms full of people in our own media who hate Donald Trump.

Every potential story in our media has to be viewed with a filter because they frame every story to take shots at the President.

Period.

This is your explanation. Our own media is parroting propaganda from China so that they can claim the US has the most cases and criticize Trump for it.

The COVID 19 Sick Map which is nothing more than “reported cases”, “reported deaths” and “reported recoveries”

At best it’s misleading and what is “reported” is government specific so if you believe the Chinese and every other country than I guess you buy into the BS.
