Just like CNN running the story about the couple that took Chloroquin and the husband died. One important detail left out by CNN and MSNBC was that the couple actually took fish tank aquarium cleaner. I'd say that changes the entire story. No CNN didn't lie about the story, they just left out the MOST IMPORTANT fact. And the only purpose of the story was to discredit Trump and say he has blood on his hands. What a disgrace and dangerous misuse of their platform.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

People are worried about financial survival. Who’s making a profit?

Profit, the majority of folks in America doesn't know what profit is and the rest is now knowing what it's like to just survive.  What I didn't know was my neighbor with multiple houses, many businesses, and nice cars was living check to check (the neighbor comment is figurative)

I read that story online.  They absolutely mentioned that it was fish tank cleaner that contained a form of chloroquin in the article posted on their website.  It was in one of the first 2 paragraphs.  Now if you're talking about the pundits that sensationalize everything (and that goes for every network), then yes they left that out.  That's why I read the story and look at their sources before I make a decision on how to process that information.

The story should remain the same whether written or in video form. They absolutely made no mention of fish tank cleaner on the news/video portion. Like it or not more people watch than read, that's just how our society is geared. A news outlet knowing that and then taking advantage of that fact makes it even more shameful. So like I said CNN has zero credibility.

Here's the story BTW.  You responded before I had a chance to edit my post.  EVERY news outlet has this issue with their pundits.  There's always someone that you can find who is an "expert" that will say whatever you want.  That's why I read the online articles or watch my local news.  Much more comprehensive coverage of a story when you're not worried about ratings.

just another example of the bias media and the f*ckery that they perpetuate. Certain outlets have also decided not to cover the task force press briefings because......they know better and will decide for the people. This has gotten way out of control and I'm tired of it. He's the president like it or not.

I saw the story first on TV and then read about it in the local Arizona newspaper. As you should know, articles don't circulate like media clips do and that particular one ran rampid and was never corrected on TV. Its dishonest with a certain intent.

Most working people only allow about an hour for news, if that. Then chill with an entertaining program. Usually checking out at 9 or ten. Possibly cuddling with the old lady. So TVs news is usually geared towards like minded watchers. CNN, msnbc with their 3-500K audience. Fox with their 3-5 million.

Yeah but I can watch the opposite on Fox News, where they'll bend over backwards to praise and defend him.  Still biased just in the other direction.

 

I've been watching the press briefings.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, Trump needs to stop getting in his own way and just let the experts in the task force do the talking.  Let them take the questions and if he doesn't want them to answer something then he can step in.

He has to mitigate what lies are spewed about him throughout the day. He said as much. I agree a little less would be nice. He does repeat the same thing mostly. If he got a fair shake he’d probably tone it down. Remember he, he alone talked himself into the presidency.

Fox News it at about 2.4 million, MSNBC is about 1.8 million, and CNN 1 million.  I like to think of it like this, MSNBC and CNN are reaching the same audience kinda like GMC and Chevy both selling trucks, and Fox News is Ford.  In the end, they all get the same amount of viewers.

I can agree both sides have bias. And Trump has been the same since the 1980's and can say too much at times, no argument there. But he is still the President and still pro America which I strongly support. The media wasn't elected to do anything. There job is to report the news, not discredit the President. In no other country do they treat there elected leader the way the US mainstream media does. At the end of the day the president was elected to make decisions, not Anthony Fauci. End of story.

Did you know CNN pays the airports to carry their feed? Kinda like Impala and rental cars, police cars. It counts.

A while back, I watched a very interesting story about the 2016 election and how he hired a company that came up with some of the catch phrases that all his supporters loved.  Like the "lock her up" quote.  It was a company that specifically does this for politicians, they even did work overseas.  I found it quite interesting, never knew such a company existed.  I learned something new.

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
