“Codswallop” is one of those interesting words that might have been used by Supreme Court justice Anton Scalia in a dissenting opinion, or by conservative intellectual William F. Buckley in describing some liberal policy.
It’s a British expression that refers to words or ideas that are foolish or untrue, in other words, nonsense.
While codswallop is a good description of the entire Democrat agenda, today I will restrict its use to the hysteria surrounding the coronavirus outbreak, media fearmongering, and resulting public panic.
Big media is all about ratings, view, and clicks, hence their axiom, “If it bleeds, it leads.” A viral outbreak is the perfect story, on par with a missing Malaysian airliner or a celebrity football player named OJ on trial for murder.
The added bonus is that any negative news can be laid at the feet of a president loathed by the media, who just so happens to be running for reelection. The media is in full campaign mode, trying desperately to drag the carcass of one of their corpselike candidates across the presidential finish line.
Stoking fear over quarantines and supply chain disruptions have sent the stock market on a downward roller coaster ride. One of President Trump’s major achievements is the roaring economy. Taking the stock market down 25% or more may help the Democrats. But by the numbers, the economy is still roaring, bolstered by the February jobs report of 273,000 added jobs, more than expected, and record low 3.5% unemployment.

“Big media is all about ratings, view, and clicks, ...”
I no longer believe that this is true. CNN has NO ratings, and pays to be on in every airport in the country.
The era of free-market advertising paying for public media is dead.
The money comes from somewhere other than product sails. Agendas are being sold, not razor blades. Big money funds media to change and control public thought.
The “ratings” sophistry is used to cover over this. Media is pushing the agenda it is paid to push.
This should be a fun thread...Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Too true.
And we care more about Truth than facts...

Stop with the hysteric infantile drama queen postings. Learn even the most basic facts. This is a manufactured hyped non crisis.
111,000 cases 101,000 recovered or mild.
Grow up and THINK you pathetic sheep.
I just listen to Kudlow and Eric Trump, buy the dips, baby!
CNN is AT&T.
AT&T has very deep pockets.
Is AT&T anti trump? Is ATT antiAmerica?
I don’t know. The evidence is yes,
Fighting the flu virus
By the way, the information you read here was gleaned and compiled from medical sources. In other words it is not home grown.
Just ran across the following article by Dr. Andrew W. Saul what seems to confirm the effectiveness of vitamin C. Along here NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) deserves also to be mentioned a precursor to a very potent anti-oxidant glutathione, which is also used as an antidote against acetaminophen, as well as many other poisonous substances.
Comment: Dr. Andrew W. Saul, an international expert on vitamin therapy, says: “The coronavirus can be dramatically slowed or stopped completely with the immediate widespread use of high doses of vitamin C. Bowel tolerance levels of C taken in divided doses throughout the day, is a clinically proven antiviral, without equal.” And by the way Dr. Andrew Saul is not the only one touting the effectiveness of C as an effective virus fighter.
Fighting the flu virus, this may include the new corona virus as well. A while back when the H-1 N-1 virus was active (2009) some one from the medical profession suggested the use of a good dose of NAC or N-Acetyl Cysteine along with a healthy dose of buffered ascorbic acid (Vitamin C-about twice as much C as NAC) and it appeared to work like a charm. An effective dose of C maybe in the range of 3 to 4 grams three times a day mixed in with one time 3 grams of NAC.
What I found to work very well is by taking a small glass jar and dissolve about 12 grams of calcium ascorbate as well as 3 grams of NAC in about 8 to 9 oz of water and over a period of 24 hours take a swig every so often until this mixture is gone. Calcium ascorbate as well as NAC should dissolve very quickly. Calcium ascorbate can be bought in bulk very reasonably. Small amounts of C in the 500 mg range maybe great as supplements, but in order to be as effective as possible in an attempt to subdue some of these nasty viruses LARGER AMOUNTS AS SUGGESTED ARE REQUIRED.
How vitamin C kills viruses?
Vitamin C uses many ways to help the body overcome viruses. At a high enough concentration in the blood, vitamin C will directly inactivate viruses. During a viral infection, the body’s supplies of vitamin C are rapidly depleted as the immune system’s white blood cells absorb and quickly use up all the vitamin C available. The immune system actually uses vitamin C to make an important antioxidant inside the cells called glutathione. It also increases the body’s production of its own antiviral medicine called interferon.
Vitamin C also has its own anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving and antihistamine-like effects. It therefore powerfully improves symptoms like pain, swelling, weakness, rash and fever.
How many will they hurt in their effort? It is hard to believe the left wing media will destroy the economy.
Sorry, but I’m taking emotional rantings today, try tomorrow and good luck with your issues. Cheers.

The author is not correct. Big media is all about propaganda, $ is secondary.

Bingo. Chinee and Qatari money is in play, among other sources.
That’s the tested cases, a small fraction of actual cases.
Really? Tell us more.
Larry Kudlow said “buy the dip” three weeks ago. Was great advice. I bought french onion dip and a bag of ruffles, myself.
