    @jon-nyc said in A new whistleblower:

    The reflexive use of the title 'fake news' is indicative of how Trump uses it, meaning news unfavorable to him.

    No, it means lies being reported as facts.

    It doesn't matter. One can't argue with a True Believer. Trump could cure cancer and many would gripe about why it took him so long.

      Is something in Bright's statement a lie? Or are you referring to the NYT taking Bright's statement and adding lies to it?

        Similarly, he could take a massive shit on the front lawn, and some would commend him for his amazing fertilizer.

        I was only joking

            You (and Jolly) need to read the piece again and see what exactly is reported as fact.

              My only input in this thread has been to address the definition of the term "fake news".

                Me too. You have it wrong.

                Reporting the fact that someone claimed something isn’t fake news even if the claim turns out to be false.

                For example. If President Xi came out tomorrow and announced that his investigators have determined that the virus originated in a US lab, that would be huge news. And the story that Xi made the claim would not not be fake news.

                In other words the claim would be the story, and that indeed happens (in my hypothetical)

                Only non-witches get due process.

                  It was the part where you stated that fake news was anything said that wasn't favorable to Trump that I took issue with. That's not the definition of fake news.

                    @George-K said in A new whistleblower:

                    The move was more than a year in the making — Bright had clashed with department leaders about his decisions and the scope of his authority — but came abruptly, said five current and former HHS officials.

                    "The head of the government office developing a coronavirus vaccine .... my insistence that the government invest the billions of dollars allocated by Congress to address the Covid-19 pandemic into safe and scientifically vetted solutions, and not in drugs, vaccines and other technologies that lack scientific merit,”

                    How do you develop a vaccine for a little understood virus and only use scientifically vetted solutions while rejecting HCQ for treatment, which was considered one of the safe and scientifically vetted solutions vericides, and was part of the S Korean protocol from mid February for COVID-19?
