Interesting side note, the Spanish Flu of 1918 didn't originate in Spain. They were the first country that reported on it. The rest of Europe and the US were embroiled in WWI and didn't want it to get out that their country was effected.

Media Matters CEO endorses fighting Nazis carrying FNC in order to ‘destroy all left opposing media’
“Veneer that it’s a news network.” As if Fox News is an outlier in that capacity. CNN and MSNBC are at least as guilty of that, and arguably even moreso. Not that Angelo would ever call them out on it.
Anyway, this self-described “Left leaning American interested in social Justice and all things left” was a big fan of Angelo’s thread, because it scratched that leftist authoritarian itch just perfectly:
Oliver Willis goes corncob in fight with Jesse Singal over NYT’s ‘bigoted coverage’ of trans issues
Journalist and podcaster Jesse Singal, who is very much a liberal, has nonetheless done a great deal of research on the dangers — physical, emotional, mental, and psychological — of “gender-affirming care” for children. And he took issue with Willis’ insinuation that the New York Times’ skirt was too short. So, like any good and reasonable journalist, he asked Willis to provide some supporting evidence:
And you’ll never guess what happened next! OK, you will. Because this is Oliver Willis we’re dealing with and he literally cannot help himself.
The senior editor at Politico admitted out loud Friday what most of us already knew. Namely that the media plays favorites with the candidates they cover despite their laughable claims of neutrality. Schaffer's admission of blatant media coverage bias appeared in his piece "Washington’s Favorite Republican Is Making All the Right Moves."
And who is currently "Washington's favorite Republican," you ask? Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan? Nope! Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire.
As we shall see, this is not exactly an enviable position to be in. But before we get to the inevitable downside, let us read Schaffer explain why the media accolades (for now) being poured upon Sununu as the "runaway winner" of "[t]he Permanent-Washington Primary," adding he's "making all the right moves" to win "the GOP base’s most despised demographic" in "the hearts and minds and television bookings and annual dinner invites of that Beltway-media-industrial complex."
Schaffer continues to explain why the warm media embrace (for now) of Sununu. Spoiler alert: He's a yes-man for the press

New York Magazine Makes Gay Shaming Great Again In Hit On George Santos
On substance, there’s almost nothing in the more than 3,000-word column to suggest Santos is the new Republican “it girl.” The article is more a feature piece from a mid-level staffer than a snarky profile of the freshman representative, but it’s definitely still both.
McCreesh spent the first quarter of the column complaining that his primary subject wouldn’t offer him an interview, clearly for good reason.
“I crash his table and plead repeatedly for an interview. He crosses his arms and purses his lips,” McCreesh wrote. “It’s not even like I can buy him a drink, because he’s only sipping water and chewing gum. Lots of gum. He spits out catty remarks as though he’s starring in his very own episode of Drag Race.”
It’s easy to imagine the outrage a similar column written about a gay leftist would provoke, branding a scandal-ridden lawmaker as the Democratic Party’s “it girl” who pursed his lips. Feminizing and emasculating gay men by referring to them as female has long been a go-to form of anti-gayness liberals used to condemn. Simply look back two years ago when the leftist world lost its mind over Tucker Carlson pondering how Pete and Chasten Buttigieg might breastfeed.
On that program, Anderson Cooper and his production crew partnered with the Stalinist regime’s Centro de Investigaciones Marinas for a propaganda piece on the marvels of Cuban coral reef conservation. The co-host of the CBS show and conduit for this fruitful Communist infomercial was Dr. David Guggenheim, senior fellow at the Ocean Foundation in Washington, D.C. who chairs its “Cuba Marine Research and Conservation Program.” Dr Guggenheim bills himself as a “Cubaphile” and toasted Castro’s fiefdom (which he proudly claimed to have visited over 40 times) as a “magical place!”
Needless to remind, such a gold-plated visa is not handed-out haphazardly by the totalitarian Castro regime. And such a welcome mat and red carpet are not rolled out randomly.
After surfacing from their scuba dive at Jardines de la Reina reef off southern Cuba, Cooper and Guggenheim of The Ocean Foundation rhapsodized for the CBS cameras thusly:
Guggenheim: “The corals are healthy. The fish are healthy and abundant. There are predators here, large sharks. It's the way these ecosystems really should look.”
Anderson Cooper: “You're saying this is like a time capsule, almost?”
Guggenheim: “It's a living time machine. And it's a really incredible opportunity to learn from.”
Cooper: “So something here holds the key to figuring out how to save other reefs and bring them back.”
Guggenheim: “it's because this ecosystem is being protected, it's got a leg up on other ecosystems around the world that are being heavily fished.”
Yes, amazing how that Communist conservation works! You simply convert free citizens of a nation which formerly enjoyed a higher per-capita income and car-ownership than half of Europeans, and with the third highest protein consumption in Latin American, into penurious half-starved serfs! Nothing to it!
In pre-Castro Cuba, the abundant lobster, grouper and snapper that so enchanted Cooper and Guggenheim on their scuba dive served as dietary mainstays of the humblest Cuban, who owned boats, fishing gear and were perfectly free to use them at every whim and then consume their catch. For Cuban landlubbers, pre-Castro groceries stocked seafood in abundance. Now these delicacies are reserved mostly for tourists, regime apparatchiks and valued foreign propagandists. Catching and eating a lobster can land a Castro subject in jail. And owning even a dinghy is the stuff of dreams, of escape.

Greenies and Commies Partner For Propaganda
Left Falsely Frames Michael Knowles’ Call For End To Transgenderism As ‘Genocide’
Although Knowles’ words were clearly a call for ending what he considers a dangerously flawed ideology, California State Sen. Scott Wiener accused him of calling for “genocide” of people who consider themselves transgender. Wiener, who has sought to lower prison sentences for pedophiles and called for drag to be taught in public schools as early as kindergarten, reportedly is considering running for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Congressional seat.
“These words were in a speech by a major right wing figure at a national conservative conference,” Wiener tweeted. “It’s a straight up call for genocide. That’s what this fight is about. They want us gone.”
Rolling Stone, Huffington Post, and The Daily Beast all similarly misconstrued Knowles’ words as a call for eradicating people, not an ideology. The Daily Wire promptly demanded retractions and apologies from each of the publications, and Knowles himself reacted similarly to the Rolling Stone headline stating, “CPAC Speaker Calls for Transgender People to Be ‘Eradicated.”
“This headline is libelous, and I demand a retraction, Rolling Stone,” Knowles tweeted.
The Daily Beast edited its original headline, which stated Knowles called for the “transgender community” to be eradicated to reflect that the podcast host called for eradicating “transgenderism,” not people who believe they are transgender.
New York Times Makes Ludicrous Case For ‘Helmet Inclusivity’ for Black Equestrians
“For black equestrians with natural hair, finding a helmet that fits can be virtually impossible –– another barrier to inclusion in a sport that remains overwhelmingly white.”
