Rachel Maddow, liberal media figures slammed for 'taking the bait' on false story about ivermectin overdoses
Fox News ^ | September 5, 2021 | Brandon Gillespie

A number of mainstream media figures and outlets appear to have been fooled by a false story that some Oklahoma hospitals were overwhelmed with patients having overdosed on the drug ivermectin, a parasite-fighting medication that can also be sold over the counter as a veterinary drug.

The story, which was originally reported at Oklahoma's KFOR-TV news, quoted testimony from Dr. Jason McElyea claiming that hospitals in a rural part of Oklahoma were being overrun with patients overdosing on the drug, causing gunshot victims to having to wait to be treated.

It was later deemed false after the Northeastern Hospital System denied any patients were treated for overdoses from the drug and that McElyea hadn't actually worked at one of the hospitals in question for two months.

She admits she’s not a journalist. She claims to be an entertainer, but she’s really just a Relayer of the Narrative. And the Narrative says that Ivermectin is a great scourge and killer.

Fake news doesn’t have to take the bait - they are the bait.

She’s a Propagandist who is there to “change the world”, as is the case with all journalists these days.

It’s not even clear there WERE any gunshot victims being treated at the time. Much less any Ivermectin problems. (This was Not Chicago.)

This stupid byatch “takes the bait” on everything. She then regurgitates the bait on her leftist audience - and they love it.

I remember her declaring that the Trump “pee tapes” were going to be released within 24 hours. I remember her talking about how the FBI had the “Alfa-Bank” Trump server, I think she declared Don Jr. was about to be arrested over the arranged meeting at Trump Tower with a Russian spy, etc., etc..

She has no shame whatsoever.

Maddow’s viewers still believe the Russia collusion hoax that she pushed for years. They tune in to listen to her lie.

There is just so much crap being put out by both pro-vax and anti-vax camps.

The most absurd of the propaganda is comical and frightening at the same time.

This is what you get when medicine is politicized.

They don’t care if they’re “slammed” on conservative media because they viewers will never hear about it. Just as they will remember the bogus ivermectin story and not the correction. They are masters at this.

Notice the stories about ivermectin keep talking about it as a drug for horses and never mentions its approved on the FDA website for humans: https://speakingaboutnews.com/the-fda-first-approved-ivermectin-for-humans-back-in-1996/

She’s like Carl Bernstien, who claims at least once a week “worse than Watergate.”

No, Carl. Watergate was an independent group of Nixon campaign “the Plumbers.” They broke in to Dem headquarters illegally.

What Obama did was to invoke the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign. And they used the CIA to frame Papadopolis.

This is 1,000 timez WORSE THAN WATERGATE!

These media morons think that rural Americans are all morons. That’s why these “sophisticates” are so easily suckered.

“...a parasite-fighting medication that can also be sold over the counter as a veterinary drug.”

The most accurate description I have heard from the media to date. Compare it to how CNN, MSNBC etc. etc. describe it, the lying bastards.
