@RichMcHugh It is apparent throughout this thread that the NPs who claim "bashing" are following their usual bullying modus operandi to get the reporter to STFU. It's a f***ing broken record. Investigative reporter with an exceptional pedigree(blew the Harvey Weinstein scandal wide open)

@RichMcHugh 2)reports on families who are complaining about lack of transparency and misrepresentation in healthcare, taking their choice to request someone with a higher level of training. And now have dead children. NPs immediately threaten the station for making THEM look bad and claiming

@RichMcHugh 3)feigned victimhood. All this despite the fact that the anchor compliments NPs and acknowledges their contribution to the pandemic. They ignore all that s**t because being the "victim" is imperative in their attempt to destroy the credibility of this reporter who gave a voice to

@RichMcHugh 7)be consequences. Ms. Thomas did not acknowledge the lousy schools that HAVE BEEN ACCREDITED. Who doesn't know that anyone from an unaccredited school cannot be licensed? Since when is that news? And who decided "the definition of medicine is changing"? Her? And the usual

@RichMcHugh 8)ridiculous mantra that "outcomes" show NPs care is equivalent to physicians which we know is utter BS. She gave a lousy interview and now calls for the station to be vilified and this reporter is being bullied and harassed to death. Leave him the f**k alone, he did not create

@RichMcHugh 9)the problem. He exposed it. Don't kill the messenger. Listen to the message and fix the f***ing problem.
