It would be easier and take less time to cite what is *not* fake new in the NYT.

Hmm...”Here’s a story that could be true and even if it isn’t it ought to be. That’s good enough for us.” Sure, fellas.

Can I get a date for the Death Pool on the NYT?

[Pajamajan]

bttt

[Fiddlstix]

....A closer look showed that not only were there no names named, but there was no date or location of the party and no other sources about where and whether it happened. And then there was the curious fact that a dying man’s self-incriminating final words were relayed to the press. Who gave permission for that?...


WOW! This Calls For Maximium BS Detection!

First rule in reading any quote from the media - if the words “anonymous sources”, or “someone within the party” or other vague source or no name means liar liar statement!

“Trust but verify” is just so 20th century.

[PghBaldy]

Glad to see this. I thought it was fake immediately. Seemed too good to be true (for people who hate Trump).

And, of course, this WOULD happen in a red state...

Apparently there's a pattern. Check this out...

The Latest Covid Party Story Gets a Twist Like any urban legend, this one changes slightly with each telling.

Pay special attention to the bit about the sources for the stories.

What does snopes say?

Was watching the Sunday Morning morons with my wife when this story broke. I instantly said “bull$hit”.

[Pajamajan]

This needs to go viral. EVERYONE NEEDS TO WAKE UP TO THE FACT THAT THE MEDIA LIES TO THEM. They need TO KNOW that the MSM Is DELIBERATELY trying to instill fear and is an accomplice of the DNC. THEY ARE NOT JOURNALISTS. They are PROPAGANDISTS.

My daughter with great disappointment showed me this story (on the internet), because she was pretty far along in believing me 100% on my conviction that the Great God Corona and its manipulation will prove to be the greatest scam possibly ever perpetrated to mankind on a global scale. As I remember , the story’s “convincer” was a photo of the man (was it really him?) looking very sick and drawn , with the appropriate caption, which provided its own talking point to support the master manipulators who are trying to extend the life of this thing to infinity. Now I really doubt all over again, like my initial take on it. thanks, National Review.

“Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard from another you’ve been messing around”...

Aye, por favor-it is just the latest urban legend...

[ifinnegan]

I pointed all this out when it was posted earlier.

If it were real the name, the party, others also infected at the same party etc...would be known or under investigation.

But it was an anecdote by a hospital administrator with zero actual information.

[Verginius Rufus]

I thought the story was credited to The New York Times's ace reporter, Ben Trovato.

[SkyDancer]

Like that one reporter(?) who said he went through terrible pain and stuff with COVID and lied about it - never happened; even had fake pictures.

[VanShuyten]

“... did not have any information “that would confirm (or deny)” that such an event had happened there”

They certainly would know if a 30 year old died of Wuflu.

[Jeff Chandler]

Fake but Accurate

[edwinland]

It would be easier and take less time to cite what is *not* fake new in the NYT.

Ha ha! They should issue corrections:

Some of the incidental details in our one of our recent stories entitled "Trump Lies Again" were capable of being independently verified. The Times regrets the lack of error.
