LA Times Op-Ed: The Evidence Is Clear...The Lockdowns Didn't Trash the Economy

Whoever wrote this is on bath salts. Is this for real? I mean I know media bubbles are dense, but this is something else. This is not even grounded in reality, folks Apparently, the COVID lockdowns didn’t trash the economy and it saved lives. Both are demonstrably false. That’s the hottest of hot takes regarding the virus. Dare I say, it may be worse than what Anthony Fauci has said about the vaccine and mask-wearing. It could rival that, maybe. The fact is that millions of jobs were lost, mental health issues spiked, our children weren’t learning, people did die, and the lockdowns didn’t do anything to stem that. It’s an airborne virus. It was going to spread no matter what and what we’ve learned is that staying locked up inside was probably the worst thing for people to do (via LA Times):





Okay, I take that back—did Fauci ghostwrite this garbage? There was praise for California peppered into this piece. I guess we just decided to leave out that the Golden State had one million cases in six weeks during the holidays—and that’s in a state with a near-universal mask compliance rate. Michigan still has heavy lockdown measures, and they had a spike whereas Texas has been reopened for two months, with no mask mandate, and no COVID spike. Hospitalizations and infection rates are also at their lowest in months in the Lone Star State. There was no fourth wave. There was no impending doom. Texas and Florida exposed the fear porn ruse, which is why the CDC rushed to tweak their mask guidelines to something that we’ve known for weeks. The fully vaccinated can take their masks off—and no one who isn’t mentally ill should be wearing a mask outside.

They feed this crap to the ignorant and confused butt heads who voted for Biden and they eat it like it was an ice cream treat.
Mindless morons

The L. A. Times and the New York Times and the Washington Post feed slime and lies to America and are a triple threat of destruction to our Country

More evidence "News" is dead and "Propaganda" has taken it's place.

It's so blatant it's shameful. They don't even try anymore.

But think who reads the LAT - not you or me or anyone with half a brain. It's all wokebot psychos who'll believe anything their cult leaders tell them. They have a circulation of approx. 1M, translated to 1/330 of the country. On Twitter - home of the bots and psychos - LAT has a global following of 3.8M and probably half of those are fake accounts.

Tucker Carlson alone has 4.5M Twitter followers and 3M average viewers. That is him, one person, alone and not FNC as a whole.

More people will read the Townhall story about LAT than actually read the LAT. And the numbers for these Marxist media outlets just keeps going down down down because they have effectively alienated their audience. I'll read a crazy tweet from some imbalanced Leftist journo and then read the responses....it should humiliate these people that the only supporters they have are illiterate, ignorant, vicious, violent scumbags. Is that why they went to J-school? So they could be a fan favorite of the worst of humanity and build a cadre of nuts?

There's a part of me that feels sorry for them, then I remember that they have free will and make their own choices. And this is what they've chosen.

Aside: anyone get a load of Keith Olbermann lately? Yikes. That is one seriously disturbed person. He has to be on drugs because it's hard to believe anyone is that deranged organically without someone stepping in and putting him in a supervised environment.

Wasn't it the LA Times back in the run up to the 2016 election, when every news organization/pollster had Hillary with huge double digit leads, saying that it was closer than everyone thinks. Single digit lead at the best.

So, impose lockdowns, economy tanks, lift them, economy recovers isnt simple enough to understand?

So if the economy didn't tank, then why was there a push to get trillions of dollars into the economy?
