Ha. That’s class.
Nothing but the best in stupid from the NYT.
Why Does the NYT Continue To Print Front Page Lies About RFK Jr.? | RealClearPolitics
“Kennedy’s Lawyer Has Asked the F.D.A. to Revoke Approval of the Polio Vaccine”
To the ordinary reader, the headline says pretty clearly that Kennedy asked his lawyer to revoke the polio vaccine. The headline makes the shocking accusation that Kennedy is in favor of banning the polio vaccine. There is no other way of interpreting it.
But it is flagrantly false and a gross distortion of the truth. There is not one polio vaccine; there are six different polio vaccines that are used worldwide. Moreover, Aaron Siri, the lawyer in question, does not represent Kennedy in his petition.
Just a bit of guilt by association then, huh?
Aaron Siri, the lawyer in question, called the headline “hysterical and an absolute lie” and said that his petition did not ask the FDA to revoke the approval of “the polio vaccine” or any other vaccine.
He accused the Times and other mainstream media of “deliberately stoking fear and outrage about vaccines in an attempt to derail Donald Trump’s nomination” of Kennedy for secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The NYT article falsely suggested that Siri (and, by implication Kennedy) sought to eliminate all polio vaccines. This damning and scandalous accusation spread to all the other media in the nation: The Washington Post, the AP, and all the legacy networks – without any independent checking.
Siri also says he does not question “The Polio Vaccine.” In fact, according to the World Health Organization, six licensed polio vaccines are used worldwide. Continuing debates among experts exist about which of the six is most efficacious and provides the most prevention.
Siri’s client is questioning only one of the six polio vaccines: a specific brand of the IPV injection, IPOL, licensed in 1990 by Sanofi. There are a handful of similar brands.
Siri’s petition claims that the IPOL brand was tested for only three days, and there were no controls before approval. According to the petition, a peer-reviewed study found discrepancies between the tested aluminum levels – scientifically proven dangerous – in this novel-formulated injected vaccine and the amounts listed on their FDA-approved labels.
IPOL is not one of the traditional polio vaccines that Jonas Salk, Albert Sabin, or Hilary Koprowski developed. It is the newest vaccine approved and may already be falling out of favor.
The IPOL brand was not double-blind tested. The original Salk vaccine was double-blind tested in a massive clinical trial in which 1.5 million schoolchildren were injected with either the polio vaccine or a placebo.
I await the NYT’s nu-uh rebuttal.
How to spot fake news, for kids.
I don’t know if this qualifies, but another libel case for Trump?
Trying to say someone is racist by intentionally cropping out black people seems like straight up libel to do.
FCC opens investigation into PBS, NPR sponsorship practices
About time. Let NPR and PBS be honest about their financial ties to for-profit endeavors or cut them off from all taxpayer funding, period.
Another one bites the dust
What a POS non story with w slashing headline!
Hot Mic Catches NBC Reporter Confronting Trump Aide Over Claims Of ‘Fraud’ and ‘Theft’ At Briefing
Here’s the exchange.
PETER ALEXANDER: Should we expect indictments, are there indictments coming for all the fraud we found?
STEPHEN MILLER: I’d love to follow up with you. Just set up a time with Karoline.
Yep, we saw this same clickbait strategy used by the legacy media in 2017.
If the anti-Trump, anti-Musk, impotent raging now going on in most reader comments at WaPo, plus this, mark a trend, then we may not see an end to editorial narration anytime soon. Feels like 2017 that way.
Feels like that every day here.
Trump is only into 2 percent of his term. Can’t wait to see the media at the end of his term.
Finally the racist Joy Reid is out. Another Trump hater is gone.
MSNBC is doing its own cleanout.
If you play drink to the buzz words, you’ll be hammered by the end of the first paragraph. “Authentic black voice” made me spit out my coffee.
I stopped at Elie Mystal 
True story. I didn’t finish the article.
Yeah, I miss the 2020-2024 period when nobody here discussed politics at all
Watched a Rising video yesterday about Reid and MSNBC parting ways. Robbie Suave and the Scot. The Scot, who to my ear is annoyingly vowel challenged, defended Reid as brilliant iirc.
I mean, if you can ignore her blatant racism and her mental health issues I guess she may be bright. Ish. Admittedly I don’t watch that channel or her, just clips on yt.
Wonder what her admirers’ level of exhaustion is after dodging the racism. Pretty easy to see why she’s unemployed.
The Scot is pretty insufferable btw.
Ha, that’s my main daily news show. The whole point is debate, and they’re doing a good job now of hosting consequential debates, IMO. I like Niall Stanage, if you think he’s insufferable you should have seen a few of the hosts they tried out before him. He seems to have settled into the chair for the time being.
Did he say “brilliant”? Lol. Brilliant she is not. I remember he definitely defended her to some degree.
