Yea I guess, me and about 20million other daily listeners.

Sure he gets good ratings. How does that relate to delivering intelligent and accurate information?

You're a daily listener, huh? It's worse than I thought.

Intelligent. Let me see. I retired at 58 from a thriving family business.

Success in business and intelligence aren't the same thing right?

Come on, this is basic.

Like I said we’ll know in about a week. You got the last one wrong, shows what you know.

You lost me bro. Not sure what you're trying to say there, but seems pretty childish.

You could watch cartoons all day and be better informed than listening to Rush just by not being exposed to his misinformation.

What else do you use for being "informed"? Give us some more credible news sources so we can take what you share more seriously.

Everything, your boring me. Even libs listen to Rush. Maybe you can find a good lib radio show. Ifs that’s possible. The last cartoon I watched was the impeachment trail. You’re side lost... again. Political stuff is frowned on here. So done with you. It was fun though.

See there's the rub. You accuse me of name-calling, but I never have. You make all kinds of assumptions about "my side", and you denigrate "libs". You try to paint yourself as objective because "you listen to everything", but spoil it all with comments like "your side". You seem very invested in being on your own side, and you don't seem interested in being exposed to more credible sources.

Get over yourself. People are dying from this virus, and it's still ramping up.

Only allowed to navigate for essentials through 2 counties, total about 750, 000 people. Currently the death count in both counties is 2. California has been in Covid 19 watch probably the longest in the country. The numbers state wide will be low but larger cities like LA and San Francisco will increase vs spiking in the next few days (per local and regional news). Don't care what numbers are reported and don't know if just 2 per 750,000 is good, just know 2 people are local reported facts. The expectation of the country is, California is reporting bogus numbers. I do know when you can get major California interstates without any traffic, the folks are doing something. People are still out (for necessary reasons), but what I see working is shielding, distance, and wearing out the soap when you can.

Grumpy’s CV statistics are just as pointless as his MPG threads. He believes everything he reads online. And if you go against him, your an IDIOIT. He’s just old and stubborn. Don’t waste your time arguing with a 90 year old.

Now here is and example of accurate reporting. Let's see what we have here:

Grumpy’s CV statistics are just as pointless as his MPG threads.

Let's start with some SPIN and a classic Logic Trap. Mike finds no value in MPG for himself so there is no value in CV stats for you. He thinks enough of himself to speak and think for everyone. GREAT. I was having trouble with that. I'll check with you before I speak and make sure you approve.

He believes everything he reads online.

FALSE STATMENT based on FALSE ASSUMPION. Mike you have no idea what I believe or read. BTW, another logic trap. IF your statement were true then I would believe what you believe. It's called a circular reference.

And if you go against him, your an IDIOIT.

You sure it's disagreement is what makes one an idiot.

He’s just old and stubborn.

Old yes....stubborn...hum, how about convinced. Seems your definition of stuborn is person that will not reject the truth to accept your view. Mike do you understand the difference between stubborn and convinced?

Don’t waste your time arguing with a 90 year old.

The number one reason everyone should listen to you Mike. You get your facts straight before you opens your mouth. Can someone tell Mike how old I am...please. Oh and please check with Mike before you engage. He thinks he knows what's best for you. That line is an instruction, right?

Ya know Mike you might have a real future in journalism. Maybe you can get a radio spot, a pod cast and 200 million listeners.

Play nice people. Certain people's attitudes are starting to get out of hand. Stay on topic with NO PERSONAL ATTACKS

Trying to talk yourself out of a situation can make the situation even worse. Hence the saying "sometimes it's better to shut the **** up"

so long

Guys,Guys....Guys! Let's be honest CHINA probably has not a clue as to how many might have been infected and how many died? All they know is....it was CRAP ton of people and deaths and we need to save face the best we can before washing our hands of this and having the WHOLE WORLD POINT TO CHINA.

As for my bank account? Well, those are numbers that just can't be diced and parsed in every different flavor.....They are accurate! I have accepted it too.....

What difference does China make right now? We need to be worried about saving American lives not pointing fingers at China.

By mid-January we had it in this country. It took two months from there before Trump took it seriously. Our own American leadership is failing us when we need it most and you're worried about CHINA? Please. We need to stop trying to save face ourselves first. Be part of the solution.

Cuomo yesterday says we’re days from the peak. Today maybe at the peak. The story is going to change even quicker than I even thought. The next couple of days I predict the models will change. Here’s hope. This of course is nothing new. We always have the sky is falling outlook. It’s human nature. I’ve live through several of the sky is falling events. I’m also a very skeptical and optimistic person. People I read or listen to tend to be right by experience and the test of time. Of course there’s bad stuff still coming. New Orleans comes to mind.

Deverado - I read this differently. I read it as US need to handle our business
