[Q CNN does aim to provide journalism.[/QUOTE]
No, it does not. The international reporting practically disappeared, and every internal reporting ends up with the connection to Trump shortcomings. There is practically no exception and looks like a communist propaganda with the mandatory reference to Marxism-Leninism. It became propaganda channel pure and simple that does not leave any room for people to form their own opinion. Fox is not better, but it always was like that whereas transformation of the CNN occurred rapidly after the Tramp election.

I watch ABC and I find their reporting fair and to the point. If Tramp gets caught in a lie, which happens almost daily....why should they hold back from reporting it ?

Lester Holt on NBC is the man- he shoots it straight. There is no smugness in his delivery like you see with Anderson Cooper on CNN, who frankly is a somewhat entitled prick who grew up with the silverest of spoons in his mouth as an Heir of the Vanderbilt fortune. I do give him credit for not being a trust fund baby his whole life and at least doing something with himself, but he is an entitled prick nonetheless.

Like Trump??

Dude, the only one I can see go head to head with trump in a debate is Pelosi. Can’t think of anyone else who would even come close, even Cuomo. All would get slaughtered

Swedish experiment with loose restrictions and "herd immunity" is discussed:

Sweden is still nowhere near 'herd immunity,' even though it didn't go into lockdown | CNN

Sweden has revealed that despite adopting more relaxed measures to control coronavirus, only 7.3% of people in Stockholm had developed the antibodies needed to fight the disease by late April.

Seems like they should also look at the data on the Swedish economy vs those of other countries for a full cost/benefit analysis.

All because of Bolsonaro, another who thinks like Trump. An another idiot.

I just checked.
20,000 cases in a single day, and at the same time 20,000 deaths since the start of the crisis.

 

[No_Church_InThe_Wild]

20 thousand death in a single day of corona virus in brazil.

yeah its just like the flu they said.

Its unfortunate a proper brain was not given to all human being.

Nothing wrong with their brains/mental capacity , they knew too well that the death toll would be in the thousands
The Latino Trump and many likeminded conservative/far right leaders like him will always prioritize and worry about their economies first instead of showing more compassion for human life ..... leave that to the Liberals around the world
The conservatives have been downplaying this covid_19 crises since day one

All the cases are in San Paulo. I remember when I was in Rio my boss used to take me to 4X4 in centro before dinner @ his home. I’d make him stop for Açaí before we headed to a terma. @ the terma he’d buy me drinks and tell the bartender and DJ to my music. His wife was awesome and always guaranteed a great meal. Really lovely country and people, kinda sad what’s happening to them

That monkey brained Bolsonaro is a criminal and should be thrown in jail. He is in denial and when asked a month ago if he was worried about the pandemic he replied that Brazilians are tough and they won`t get sick because they swim in sewers and have built up a resistance to viruses. A week ago when asked about the out of control epidemic in his country...he answered with a dumb as hell question....."what can I do ?" Take a bullet in the brain and save tens of thousands of lives is what he can do.

Luckily most of the states and large cities are ignoring him and doing their best, with limited resources, to fight this plague.

Trump has been talking about a travel ban to Latin America partly due to what is going on in Brazil. You don't want someone else's headaches becoming your headaches. That travel ban could happen any day now.

 

[cloudsurf]

All the cases are in San Paulo.

Not exactly my friend. The state of Sau Paulo has less than 25% of the cases in Brazil.
That`s almost like saying that Montreal has all the cases in Canada.
BTW why is that idiot Tramp still allowing travel to and from Brazil weeks after he closed the border with Canada ?

Well said Cloudy , it’s pretty sad what’s happening down there but it doesn’t surprise one bit , I was expecting that
Limited resources, not much help so they are trying to cope as best they can

One thing that bothers me is that our government has gone above and beyond to protect the ones at risk , so much information and effort to protect our population ... they’ve sent Billions and Billions of dollars to millions of households that were in need of financial help so they wouldn’t have to worry about the essentials ,,, but still what do some people do ? They keep complaining about how big government is stealing their civil liberties and freedoms .... a lot of stupid people just don’t know how good they have it compared to other countries and that in itself is sad

Those tubes in rio get pretty packed around rush hour, perfect Petri dish.

We continue to see political beliefs blind people. NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo, Google, PBS, NY Times, Washington Post, Huff News..... All are against any positive Republican & Trump information. Fox News is a cheerleader for Trump. The issue is for both sides, at what cost? We need positive news to move us forward.

 

[cloudsurf]

We need positive news to move us forward.

Your statement is correct but only if that positive news is factual and based on actual science, and not wishful thinking.
Everything that comes out of DJT`s mouth is a lie or is based on his imagination. All he cares about is himself and not you or for that matter anyone else who doesn`t worship him as the next messiah.

You want positive results? Check how Moderna's top executive dumped 30 millions $ of stocks

They know more then anyone else that their vaccines has little chance of working. It might but not enough to take the risk and not pocketing the money now.

There is no issue here - it was an automatic transaction via the companies 10b5-1 plan that was set up in 2018. I assume it was set up to sell when certain price targets were reached i.e. a limit order

These are common and avoid any legal issue of insider trading since transactions are typically executed automatically, via brokers, without the insiders taking any action.
