There are some really stupid people on this planet. The dude that died was one of them. Are you that stupid, accountinquestion?
What is your point? Some poster "blamed the media" which is exactly what Trumps wants his followers to do. The news is fake, listen to me, says our fearless leader. I'm just pointing this out. It isn't worth discussing.

So myself, not being a Trump follower, does not dismiss the media. While it has its problems, go look at the non-existent media of Russia and China. Any real American should be proud that we have the media like we do, regardless of whether you choose to listen to Foxnews or CNN.

So given the above paragraph I simply pointed out the widow directly attributed their learning of the drug's potential to Trump. It wasn't some made up connection by the media.

Your argument is like that of many other Trumpers. "Well it happened at some point somewhere else so we can't blame Trump at all". In this case "it" was the mentioning of this drug in the media.

During this whole episode, I am starting to have a greater appreciation for "Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a clinical diagnosable condition.
Do you know what your precious media is up to now? CNN and NBC say they are going to stop airing Trump's coronavirus press conferences. And of course they are going to say Trump is dangerous. That's their cover. But the real reason is Trump's coronavirus press conferences have given him a 60% approval rating on handling the crisis. The mainstream media will absolutely not tolerate anything that helps Trump's approval ratings.

PS: If they do what they say they are going to do it will send Fox News ratings, already super strong, thru the roof.

PSS: Accountinquestion, if the guy that died would have been you, and you read the ingrediencts, would you have eaten the aquarium cleaner?
I like the media because I am not near as statist as you. Apparently you think all your info should come from government officials? okey dokey.

We're on 2 different planes if you don't think foxnews is mainstream media.

Not sure what you're getting at with the last question. The answer is no. I don't think we're in disagreement that the guy was a retard who could have just as well heard the same thing from other media sources irrespective of Trump. Trump says so much random shit that holding him to anything he says is a waste of time. I'm just saying thats what the guy's wife claims - heard it from Trump.

Now is it news worthy? Probably not unless you want to prevent other idiots from ODing on aquarium cleaner.
