no I'm afraid not, and reporting it online and not 24/7 tv airtime coverage is totally different.
sorry but they're just not reporting on RIOTS

when you have to get riot informant and footage from Andy ngo in twitter, that pretty much ruins your argument right there, media is not reporting on it
That's interesting, the people I know in Seattle are highly concerned. I'm talking Hillary Clinton democrats (one of them cried the night Trump was elected). They say no one goes to the city anymore, it's basically deserted. Seattle used to have one of the best downtowns in the country.
Point is for scale.
I have no idea if left media has blown it out of proportion. I don't watch any tv news. I sometimes read Guardian online. On average they might mention police brutality few times a year.
Oh and if you go by property damage there should have been 1/50th air time for the riots vs Katrina. And for deaths per day 1/30th compared to LA riots.
OBV that's not how news work, but to say FOX and the entire right wing echo chamber have milked a single block in Portland to death, isn't exactly ground breaking.
I read about the riots in the NY Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Economist. They have the maturity and journalistic integrity to keep them in perspective.
Maybe I should just get my news from that guy on twitter who says a milkshake gave him brain damage? Protip: he was already brain damaged.
Nobody has to get news from him. He's not news. You choose to consume what he says and how he says it because he confirms your worldview. It's more comfortable for you than learning the facts from actual journalists.
BTW your meme posting was in all seriousness quite enjoyable I hope you didn't blow your whole wad in one day.
Originally because nightmarefish mentioned that the damages of the current riot season were close to a trillion. The direct property damage of Katrina was 1/10th of a trillion. The current riot damages are between 2/1000th - 4/1000th of a trillion.
I didn't bring up the cost of riots. He did. I just corrected him.
You dumb cunt. Gimmick was simply correcting your oxygen depleted take that
costs were in the trillions regarding recent protests.
He was simply pointing out that your delirious numbers were just that
based on the cost of other disasters that occurred within your pathectic
borders
LOL

Lol where do you get these numbers. Do you really suck at math that badly? 1 in 2,000 people have died of the virus. That doesn't mean 1 in 2,000 people who get the virus die. That's like saying cancer has over a 99% survival rate therefore smoking is low risk. Death rate is somewhere around 3%, though of course it will vary based on your age and other factors. And chance of permanent neurological damage is much much higher, even if you don't die.
You're actually both incorrect.
The coronavirus does NOT have a 0.2% death rate, nor does it have a 3% death rate. However, the 0.2% is a lot closer than the 3% (but it's impossible to determine exactly what it is.)
You can't get death rates by simply dividing confirmed cases by deaths, because there are/were a ton of cases which were never officially diagnosed. How many is up for debate, but suffice to say that the number of undiagnosed COVID-19 cases is very high.
Among the reasons:
1) People had trouble getting tested early on
2) Many don't bother to take a test because they feel to shitty too bother, yet not shitty enough to go to the hospital. Others don't feel like putting out the effort looking up how/where to get tested, and even others erroneously fear that it will cost them money.
3) Many are asymptomatic, especially young people. In the past month, I know several people who tested positive while asymtopmatic, and they only took a test because their spouse had it. None of these people developed symptoms, and all were over 40. The number of asymptomatic young is likely very high, especially kids and teens.
A rare big miss for young PLOL.
FFS, Druff. The only reason (besides she being a black) that Biden picked Kamala Harris was because she is a darling of the big money Dem donors, and THOSE people are in control of Biden’s agenda. The Dem Party is already signaling that it is calving off influence from the Progressive wing of the party by keeping THE key media outlet that Progressives turn to for updates on politics from being able to have a press pass at the Dem National Convention.

So, your scaremongering of how a Biden Administration will be lead by or significantly bend to the demands of Progressives in the party are ludicrous and malinformed.
