Karen reporting live for NBC that in Florida, people are…brace yourself are you sitting down?…living their lives like normal human beings and not retreating to the pants shitting fear that they “should” be according to them.
But yeah, on the one side there are facts, data and science, and on the other side there is NBC's shrieking Karen yelling about how the healthy people who assessed their own personal risk are literally killing grandma, despite hard evidence to the contrary.
Brave journalisming.
If you think some other factor explains how the rubes in Collier county could still have low COVID rates, actually read through the thread I linked to. All of the typical scapegoats (But the population size! The density! The median age!) all shot down.
It eats at the coasts' soul that Florida is doing everything right in every measurable way compared to their utter failures.
And the original tweet wasn't just @SamBrockNBC's dumb rogue tweet. This was on NBC News. They played it on the Today Show this morning with a hero's welcome of his "harrowing tale" of going to the fucking grocery store where most people weren't as terrified as he is.
This article is so fully insane, and the most insane part to me is that they had the audacity to put print "the quiet part out loud" in Time Magazine. time.com/5936036/secret…
Like maybe the reason you think we were on the brink of fascism to begin with is because…of the aforementioned "well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions"?
Like what is wrong with your brain when you read that "a well funded cabal" deliberately and directly influenced the election so the unwashed rubes wouldn't make the wrong democratic choice and not have an ounce of self-reflection on how that might be bad.
