With the Neutral Zone Infraction, Just the News tries to do its part to maintain the line between fact and opinion in American journalism by blowing the whistle each week on an egregious example of slanted coverage by reporters. This week's offender: CNN's John Berman
CNN anchor John Berman neglected to divulge key information in a brief segment on the cable news network's "New Day" program when he mentioned the recent death of a man in Arizona.
"Game-changer, that is how President Trump describes the anti-malarial drug chloroquine. It's now one of 69 drugs being investigated as potential treatment against coronavirus," Berman said. "The problem: It has not yet been approved, and in Arizona one man has died after an apparent attempt to self-medicate with that drug."
Berman failed to note that the substance the man took was not meant for human consumption. It was something the man's wife had previously used in their fish tank.
The man "ingested chloroquine phosphate, an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks," according to a Banner Health report available at the non-profit healthcare system's website.
"The difference between the fish tank cleaning additive that the couple took and the drug used to treat malaria is the way they are formulated," the Associated Press reports.

I bet if that idiot got the virus he’d get the drug in a heartbeat..someone needs to ask Senator Klobacher how her hubby miraculously recovered so quickly from the virus when days earlier he was coughing up blood than BAM, he’s all better..he got the drug too
CNN is ATT
Don’t forget that.
You can eat sodium chloride, but you should not eat sodium hydroxide.
Misrepresentations, sensationalism, & outright lies are foundations of liberalism & the democrat party.
“The man “ingested chloroquine phosphate, “ (fish tank cleaner)
Big difference from hydroxychloroquine sulfate which is the medication.
” You can eat sodium chloride, but you should not eat sodium hydroxide.”
The same for sodium cyanide.
“...I bet if that idiot got the virus he’d get the drug in a heartbeat..”
Yep. You can take that bet to the bank. Maybe IF he gets it, he’ll take the fish tank cleaner by accident and do the world a favor.
Berman is multi-talented: A fishmonger as well as a fearmonger ... a perfect fit for the fake-news crew at CNN who have far more to fear from their TDS than from the Chinese Flu.
Hydroxychloroquine was approved by the FDA for lupus in 1955.
Doctors can prescribe off-label at any time.
It is against the law to advertise off-label uses.

.
The US has the most fake journalists in the world.
NPR did the same thing.
So they can attribute more blood on Trump’s hands. NOT that hard to figure out. Pet shop shelves will look like grocery store TP aisles.
“Wut warning?”
On the package! That hunter orange label!
“Oh...You sure that’s not for the bag?”
#####!!!
For decades, Journalism is the college major for students too dull to be Education majors. They are ignorant in Math, Science, and History.
they both are used in medication actually. chloroquine phosphate used for many years to treat malaria also, both still are both are being tested for use against coronavirus
Ahhh, what’s a few lies when you have a Republican president to slime and slander?
Right CNN?
The Nazis had people like that working for them too.
Orange Man Bad!
Resist we much!
