Seattle NPR Station Says It Will No Longer Carry Donald Trump’s Coronavirus Briefings Live Because Of Misinformation

[Pogo]

No one listen [sic] to NPR unless their radio gets stuck on that station.

For the eighteenth time now --- this is not a story about NPR. This is a story about KUOW.

 

[HenryBHough]

KUOW, KUFO,WFUK, WTF. NPR = Nancy Pelosi Radio.

 

[Pogo]

KUOW, KUFO,WFUK, WTF. NPR = Nancy Pelosi Radio.

Just for the record, KUFO is a commercial station; WFUK was actually briefly issued by FCC for an LPFM station in Mississippi, and WTF does not exist. Zero of them, extant or not, have any relationship to "Nancy Pelosi".

 

[harmonica]

ahahahahhahahhahah = NPR !!!!!
hahahahahhaha
you lost it there when you said NPR
they are very, very anti-white, anti-Trump, anti-hetero/etc
....I used to listen to them everyday--only talk station I could get at work

Oh? And why is that? Because I know the difference between a single radio station in Seattle and a national radio network, and you don't?

How embarrassing that the president himself is now a clear and present danger to public safety.

I assume no responsibility for your failure to recognize the sarcastic intent of the list.

Nor do I assume responsibility for your failure to understand that the reference to Speakerette Pelosi was related to all NPR outlets regardless of legitimacy, call sign or frequency.

No, he said the democrats RESPONSE to the outbreak was the hoax.

Which is absolutely no different, since democrats were merely relaying the recommendations of experts. Notice Trump saw a threat to his re election and is now doing the things the experts suggested.

Which is bull poo, and you know it. The fact is Trump was on the case from the beginning while the Dems were poopoohing his response and calling him a racist. There is ample video evidence of these clowns talking out their asses back then, and now they are on the opposite side and trying to lay the blame off on him, and stupid twits, like you, gobble it up because you have the memory of a gnat.

"Bull poo"?

For the wilfully ininformed:
Intelligence Agencies Repeatedly Warned Trump of a Likely Pandemic. He Ignored Them.

Meanwhile, still waiting for that basis for the thumbs-down on my report in the OP (which is now post 131).

And when I say "waiting' I mean it metaphorically since I know you don't have the stoneage.
Maybe it's out there with the "bull poo"

So, if he was ignoring them, why did he halt air travel from China long before ANYBODY on your so called intelligent side thought to do it?

Hmmm, little pootin putz?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Why did Trump lie and say nobody advised him to do that? You see, when you try to defend the mentally ill, pathological liar's lies, you just end up uncovering two more lies. It's exponential, like a virus.

Too bad, you totally missed an opportunity to answer the first question in 219.

But do go on, essplain to the class what a "speakerette" is.

This is sad. Now most networks are now rethinking covering trump's briefings. They cut away from last night's briefing just after trump spewed more false and dangerous lies about the virus.

I've never seen any TV network do this. They always cover the president. This president is different. What he spews can and has already gotten people killed.

It's the best for our nation to not have trump spewing lies about this deadly virus.

I wish we had a president who didn't lie to such a dangerous extent as trump.

MSNBC cut away from Monday's briefing because the "information no longer appeared to be valuable to the...discussion around public health."

You're an idiot.

Oh, the store was out of combs?
Be careful, scratching too vigorously may cause cuts that are easily infected.

By way of explanation: "speakerette" is a dwarf of the arguably female variety that makes loud squealing noises resulting only in its being ignored except by NPR devotees.

Glad to have been able to help.

No it isn't. That information is factual.

Could you explain the reasoning that you used to come to that ridiculous conclusion? Even the fucking headline is a blatant lie.

However, low IQ individuals such as yourself are very suggestible. That's why you are easily brainwashed by fake news articles. You drank the kool aid. Why don't you just admit it?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Could you explain the reasoning that you used to come to that ridiculous conclusion?

Yes.

All those networks did, indeed , cut away from the coverage.

The ones that releases statements said they did so because of Trump's misinformation.

What more information is required?

What the fuck is a "BI article"? My link was directly from KUOW.

 

[Crixus]

KUOW 94.9FM in Seattle, one of the first epicenters of the US Coronavirus outbreak, has discontinued live broadcasts of White House Coronavirus briefings due to the massive pattern of disinformation therein.

Station statement March 25 (in part):

>> After airing the White House briefings live for two weeks, a pattern of false information and exaggeration increasingly had many at KUOW questioning whether these briefings were in the best service of our mission—to create and serve a more informed public. Of even greater concern was the potential impact of false information on the health and safety of our community.​

​

A sampling of exaggerations and false information that were not fact checked in real time:​

​

● “Nobody knew there’d be a pandemic or an epidemic of this proportion,” President Trump said at a live White House briefing on March 19 despite warnings from the U.S. Intelligence community earlier this year.​

​

● “You’re seeing very few empty shelves,” our listeners heard live from President Trump on March 20. Local reporting shows many stores are out of basic supplies, including hand soap.​

​

● We’re going to be able to make the drug chloroquine “available almost immediately” said President Trump on March 19. The president claimed, incorrectly, that the FDA had fast-tracked approval of its use to treat COVID-19. There isn't current medical evidence of the efficacy of that drug in treating COVID-19.​

​

Knowing this a very fluid situation, we will revisit this decision daily. <<​

​

KUOW will continue to treat all opportunities for live preemption on a case-by-case basis weighing for importance, news value and immediacy of need-to-know. But be clear, KUOW and NPR will continue to cover White House briefings and share relevant information from federal government and public health sources in the format most useful to our listeners. <<​

Inasmuch as broadcast licensing requires responsible operation as a public trust, this is a shining example of exercising it. As readers know the last named piece of misinformation has already led to an unnecessary death and hospitalization of a couple who followed that advice. so denying destructive disinformation the chance to damage the public is exactly the right call.

See also this related thread where TV networks did the same thing -- Dana7360

And this is all over the fact those people died from self medicating without DR approval of some POOL CLEANER??? And the President is being held responsible for their chosen misunderstanding??

Come on Puggles…...if you were sick and heard something about a certain drug or chemical that is 'PROMISING' as a treatment......and you found out some pool cleaner had that chemical in it...…..would you really ingest it???? Without doing further research or calling your DR for advice??? REALLY???????


Sure, all you dumbasses go celebrate some imagined victory while the rest of us laugh at ya

It's nice to know you and your selective reading "laugh" at a couple split up by death, his life ended, hers shattered and hanging in the balance. Must be hilarious.

At least you actually read the OP, unlike the last wackadoodle. Even if you flushed away the parts you couldn't digest.

Like you give two fucks about anyone split up by death, unless it gives you a clever quip to snip at trump people with. Mad gay. Just crazy gay.

You're an idiot. One idiot from one station made that statement, you TDS afflicted moron.

To prove Epstein's article is not fake news, you must show that Trump contradicted his health experts. I saw the briefing and know that Kayla Epstein is lying. Trump did not contradict his health experts.

You drank the kool-aid, dumbass. Why don't you just fucking admit it?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

One idiot from one station made that statement

And which network contradicted it? Yes, I think the networks cut away because he turned it into a surrogate campaign rally and was no longer providing accurate or pertinent info.

You think differently, which is stupid and wrong and exactly what one would expect from a Trump cultist.
