Now, may I ask you a question? Do you believe the media is transparent with respect to all the news surrounding the virus?


Thanks for your reply OSU. I do not believe the media is transparent with the "news" on COVID. Especially the MSM, which has an obvious and inherent leftist bias. And websites like tapnewswire who make their living off sensationalist BS. Controversy and sensationalism prompt people like jag to pick up these stories, post and re-post and generate revenue for the websites via increased traffic. Reporting the news straight up doesn't sell.

"Follow the money."

Additional replies by the numbers:

1) Did you notice that tapnewswire is pretty much a dedicated anti-vax website? Do you think their reporting is transparent on the vax?

2) I read the story you linked. I stopped when I got to the part about how the first player who dropped out was recovering from Covid. That would seem to explain his departure.

3) I don't look to verify or disprove every one of jags posts either, that would be a full-time job. In fact, I don't bother to read most of them. I do comment on them occasionally though. The reason being, this is primarily a hunting and gun website and I don't want a visitor to come away with the idea that all gun enthusiasts think like jag does.

Good points, thank you. I didn't get far enough into the website to determine if its anti vax in general or Covid vax in particular. I suppose the truth is out there, somewhere and we'll likely get to it eventually. Good exchange, thank you.

There are 2 rules to success:

1. Never tell everything that you know.
