it plays right into the health care issues that Obama wants.......so it is mostly Political.......the flu every year kills thousands of people.....this one is no different than the one last year........they don't normally name the flu and call it a pandemic, like they are doing now...but the flu and thousands of people dying every year is as normal as apple pieIs the liberal media hyping up this swine flu to sell news reflective of their financially collapsing industry?
It's not a stupid question to ask if the media is hyping a particular news event, but it makes little sense to question whether the media's liberal bias increases the chances. Liberal or conservative, all media have the propensity to hype certain kinds of news, but flu pandemics don't engage in partisan politics.
Well with this I really dont think so.
I remember from microbiology and studying the flu of 1918 it started in a first wave in the spring almost exactly as this one is. A small outbreak which popped up around the world.
See a regular flu as an example, will break in a specific community in California and people get sick and spread to another community and spread there.
But these pandemic flues start such as this swine flu is starting small pops around the globe called the FIRST WAVE. Which seems stupid. BUT its the SECOND WAVE that you have to worry about in August, October, November when flu season starts. Because this stain has set root and will hit hard and fast spreading throughout.
It was the 2nd wave of the flu of 1918 in the months of fall and winter flu months that killed the 50 million people.
You also have to remember there is no nature immunity to this virus. And you have to apply logic and analytical thinking to the information put forth so far:
1) CDC said that the cases confirmed so far were light cases of the swine flu which required antibiotics. But what that didnt say is ANTIBIOTICS ISN'T USED TO TREAT FLU BUT IT'S USED FOR TREATMENT FOR BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA. How can the cases be light?
2) WHO raised the pandemic warning level to 5
3) U.S. Gov is now sending Masks (psychological effect) and antibiotics to state Health Departments.
4) The healthiest are dying from the swine flu 18 to 45 so it's sucks to be us.
The more countries that become affected the greater potential for alarm.
i agree that the liberal media is crappy, fox news being the only republican news source and they are the most hated, but the reason why they are hyping up the swine flew is to get more views and more watchers or readers to their news. its called sensationalism. same thing happened with the avion bird flu a couple years back. but that did disappear just like this swine flu will once people stop freaking out over it
They are in a terrible position now. They were manuvering like mad to find a way to ';Blame Bush'; the 0'bama comes out with ';The Bush administration did a good job of setting up what we need to deal with this';
Now all the liberal media institutions have to collaborate to get this issue off the front page. They have a problem here though. The world health organization is going to keep having press conferences until they figure out a way to get money out of the US to third world countries that have always been sick. If the left wing media helps them, they will screw up 0'bama's economic agenda....if they don't help them, now the country has no choice but to rely on FOX news.
It's a mess. They are between Barack and a Hard Place.
I think the media in general is, the media is notorious for over reporting.We have had 1 death in America, Texas where I live. The media here has called it ';The Next Pandemic';, 1 death. It is a cause for concern, but I'm sure there are more deaths in Mexico due to the citizens not having the proper means/proximity to health care.
Yes they are over hyping it incredibly. Not so much for the reasons you list, but because the 24/7 cable news networks need something to fill their air time. A story about some phony pandemic fits the bill nicely.
Before that, there was bird flu and SARS. How many Americans died of those? And when it's really a slow news time, they just make stuff up. Remember ';Year of the Shark?'; They gotta put something on the air!
The News Media is So Left they Can't see Anything in the Center or on the Right - And, they don't want to! That's the Problem! The Media gave a Coordination to Obama not the Presidency! It's a Scary thing to See!
I Say - Go to God - We Can Trust Him! I know that I do! I no longer Trust My Government - But, I Do Pray for God to Guide them and to Bless them! What happens at this point is up to God! The WRONG MAN got Elected - Now Everyone will Pay!
Financial Collapse - We have to be careful but, the Media will Never Tell you Truth - They No Longer Know How!
Peace to All and God Bless! Jane.
your about to get pummeled, you !diot.
everyone in the world see's the liberal bias, except liberals.
they are going to call you all kinds of names. even say things about sex with your relatives.
they get side tracked easy. facts don't matter.
I hope your feelings aren't easily hurt.
yes the media is hyping this story. they are hurting, the thinking Americans quit reading and watching their bias b.s.
libs won't like this, but check the facts.
their ';financial industry is not collapsing';
the economic plans for this country are not going to destroy it.
this country needs change, but not how the gop is taking it, we need change, investments, that will come back, in scientific, industrial, and energy efficiency areas.
we can not compete with the rest of the world
look at american students, in public schools, its pitiful
look at electric bills
look at the hospitals...
what so the upper class, lets say with making a donation, instead of getting a 39% write off, they are getting a 28% write off, like shmo shmo down the block making 45,000..
kiss my @$$!!
that's not going to hurt the wealthy, if they lay people off, its out of spite because their lifestyle is not changed.....
the media, all media, international media do it for everything..SARS,MRSA,avian flu..
look at the people hysterical over it on here
the media feeds the people
the people feed the media
we suffer
people do die every year from the ';regular'; flu.
its proving to be no more lethal than the ';regular';flu.
the avian flu had a mortality rate a hundred times worse.
because people are hysterical over it, the media is feeding it, and the mexicans are responsible for it...
its a pandemic because people traveled to mexico or came in contact with someone who has, or somewhere along a realllllly long chain someone who did.
they are spreading it...maybe on purpose, maybe they are purposely sneezing on people...
not because its a ';season for it'; it became an epidemic, it was an endemic first..so what...
.however it is killing people with poor medical services, no education on how to treat it or when to have it treated...
it is killing people in mexico not the nine countries and the us with the majority of the cases here..
he one that did die was a child from mexico...
no americans have died from this flu...
people survived the various forms of the flu bug for decades..and people who get the ';regular';vaccine should only be children, people with immunodeficiencies, and the elderly..
no i'm sorry people dooooo need to get informed.
90 something cases in america with a pop. of over 300 million. give me a break.
couple thousand in the world and mexico give me a break.
the swine flu is a serious situation - its not democrat or republican. I don't see it as hype - they are reporting it on Fox too. God bless you too, but I think you are on the wrong track.
The media will say what it takes to get ratings. There's nothing particularly liberal or conservative about that. It's just business.
Remember how they hyped the war in Iraq?
professional journalists don't exaggerate and they CERTAINLY don't lie.
[FOX, isn't professional journalism, it is Republican Propaganda]
Er...NO!!! According to the World Health Organization, swine flu is on the brink of becoming a worldwide pandemic, so one could hardly say that it's ';hype';!
I think it's the latter. The media takes the story most likely to create fear and runs with it.
See it is already working from the answers you already got! Most people are just a bunch of sheep and follow and do what they are told!
Normal business and a diversion to the mess their leader is making of the country.
This serves to take some of the 'heat' off of Obama's mistakes, like Air force 1 over NYC
Yeah those liberals at FOX sure are hyping this thing up.
That is totally stupid.
Its a bit late. The collapse happened last year.
Please wash your Hands and Mouth out with Soap.
Why would they do that? They do it for ratings. Nothing else.
CRISIS!!! NO!!! IT'S A CRISSISSSS!!! DON'T READ THE FINE PRINT, JUST GOO!!!
naw... i don't think it's a big deal. take care of yourself and you'll be fine.
You got it.
Yes
