Another mighty whiff from NPR |

[Townhall] This is the latest round of fake news concerning COVID, huh? I’ve been told our hospitals are about to collapse. It hasn’t happened. In fact, this piece of fear porn has been manufactured before. It centers on Intensive care units, which are almost always near capacity, even prior to the pandemic. If they’re not, the hospital loses money. Enter National Public Radio that peddled a story that wasn’t true at face value. The narrative was that the ICUs are so packed with COVID patients that it resulted in his death. He reportedly visited 43 and was turned away. It wasn’t COVID that killed him; it was a heart ailment. Yet, midway through the story, you can see where things go off the hinges. It’s classic misinformation (via NPR) [emphasis mine]: Ray DeMonia, 73, was born and raised in Cullman, Ala., but he died on Sept. 1, some 200 miles away in an intensive care unit in Meridian, Miss. So, they pushed a story without getting the full picture from the family and they got a statement from the original hospital DeMonia was admitted to which shredded the narrative NPR tried to toss out here. ’A Man Died After Being Turned Away From 43 ICUs At Capacity Due To COVID, Family Says’ is the headline. Well, he was admitted. He was transferred because the original hospital wasn’t properly equipped to give him the care he needed. That’s hardly being turned away. The story is false. NPR probably knew it was false but ran with it anyway because it was a noble lie. It’s still a lie, kids. The liberal media intentionally misleads and knows it can get away with it.

#9 We keep being told about these mobile morgues. But the media has not shown us one single picture of one. I guess they know they'd be caught out. Notice that too; or overstocked cemeteries/mass cremation centers, well other than that first couple weeks about "reports are the Chinese are burning millions of corpses." Not even a story of a overhyped maybe. |

#7 NPR is just an evil propaganda arm. And Hannah Arendt's comment about the banality of evil has never been more appropriate. |

#5 Our local hospitals are at capacity, but the capacity has been reduced by lack of staff. Explanations for that lack have been inconsistent. |

#4 My dad used to listen to it to get riled up. I told him "Why not smoke crack instead. It's just as bad for you but more fun." |

#3 I don't see how anyone can stand to listen to NPR in the first place. A bunch of obnoxious assholes. |

#1 Thank you digging into it and exposing yet another C-19/21 Media Panic attack piece. Our local owned paper, now a USA C-19 PANIC everyday syndicate rag. Ran pretty much the same BS story and was caught by a local Radio News Host. |
