Title: <sigh> Trump administration shoots foot
Post by: President-Elect Bob Noel on July 16, 2020, 09:43:46 AM: Bypassing the CDC, the white house is now requiring data from hospitals sent directly to the white house.

<sigh> what a stupid thing to do.

Post by: Lucifer on July 16, 2020, 10:27:20 AM: The CDC is run by, and full of deep state bureaucrat hacks. These types have an agenda. Unfortunately Trump has discovered this a bit late.

If he does nothing, they will continue and the democrats will hate him. If he does something, the data will be corrected, and the democrats will hate him.

Pick your poison.

I trust the CDC more than I trust the Covid Negativity Network and the like

Whether or not you believe the CDC, this move by the Trump Administration is a no-win for them. We have access to the CDC data, I doubt we will have the same access to data being controlled by some WH moroon.

There was no change. The data doesn't go to the White House, it goes to Health and Human Services. The CDC is a unit under HHS. So no real change.

fair enough. I stand corrected.

Since when has the MSM gotten the story straight?

I have to recalibrate my BS detector when looking at MSM reports.

MSM has gone into hyper mode with fake news now, so I suggest anything you see to question it and do some research. Google is complicit with the propaganda stream as well, so use search engines such as duckduckgo.com to seek out reliable information.

I totally understand.

It’s frightening how the MSM can manipulate even rock-ribbed conservatives sometimes.

I hate everyone and trust no one, but I still get tripped up sometimes.
