    Not true, the media is reporting on the virus, just because the virus appeared and is doing what you don't like doesn't mean reporting on it is creating panic

    I’m not sure I stopped paying attention to anyone other than Jamie Lee Curtis when she took her top off.

    They have a vested interest in hyping it, clicks and views so they are. Plus the daily Trump bashing they do is amped up as well so political advantage.

    Reporting that’s it’s deadlier than the flu is creating panic. China’s numbers adversely effected the impoverished with no access to decent medical care. Not the same as here. Everyone can get to a hospital. Out in the outskirts or 3rd worldom in China they have nothing. They just die as if China cares.

    Right, and Trump inspired a lot of confidence telling Americans, "It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disppear. You know, it could get worse before it gets better. Could maybe go away, we'll see what happens. Nobody really knows"

    You're outta your mind. It's never a good time to buy if things can go lower.

    There's broad stock selling around the World. Indexes are down everywhere. That tells me it's not only institutional but includes us little guys, swing & day traders. It looks like the real deal blitz selling.
    Gold is a minuscule market compared equities & debt. The gold sell off smells like China, and / or maybe some central banks raising cash to enter their own markets on Monday to stop the bleeding. Will it work? confused-smiley-013.gif

    If Bolshevik bernie has a strong nite tomorrow the bottom in our stocks might be a lot lower over time.

    I got it, the media martyr again, always found it humorous how conservatives who critize others for it are so eager to portray Trump as a victim

    Trump can barely express himself. But logical people understand this. If you’re still taking him literally after 3 years, you’re an idiot. And the ONLY people who seem to take him literally are crazies working for the MSM or leftists.

    Actually, Wall Street agrees. The reason they agree is because democrats love to raise taxes which hurts the economy, especially someone like Sanders who would need trillions of tax dollars. That scares the market. But you're welcome to your intellectually lazy opinion.

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/is-fear-of-a-sanders-presidency-bern-ing-markets-2020-02-25

    "What’s pummeling financial markets this week?

    Fears about the spread of coronavirus, to be sure. But a chorus of analysts also thinks concerns about Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders winning the Democratic presidential nomination — and possibly even the presidency — are also contributing to jitters.

    “The risk to US stocks is pretty significant if Bernie gets the nomination,” said Ed Moya, senior market analyst with OANDA. “I think there is concern that in some of these battleground states Bernie is beating Trump. If he does maintain that momentum, it would be very concerning to Wall Street.”

    “They” is the media, thus the clicks and views comment. Not you.

    You're absolutely correct. We need to shut down all media outlets unfavorable to Trump and arrest those spreading facts and fear.

    LOL! And erect some larger than life Trump statues in busy public places. Then, our transition to a third-world banana republic will be complete :).

    They can post it or publish it. But they will be called out for it.

    The media is in it for their ad revenue and subscriptions. Nothing wrong with that but needs to be kept in mind when reading their info.

    Fear sells.

    Your doing that liberal thing where you like to think everybody on the right is some kind of Nazi wanting govt to control your speech.

    Of course it’s the lefties in antifa that use Brownshirt tactics to shut down speakers at colleges.

    And your prime nominee for POTUS is a socialist...you know a form of govt that favored bigger govt controls over, well everything. See what the socialist in the UK did with their stupid Hate Speech laws, where a dog doing a Nazi salute on video will get the owner arrested.

    0.6% Korea

    2022 cases / 13 Dead

    2.6% Italy

    650 cases / 17 Dead

    China was 3.2% last update I saw


    Iran is 6.2%

    270 cases / 17 Dead

    That country just can’t get much right these days.

    Media hype is when obvious facts knock the orange god from his alter. If Trump said Dems created the virus in a secret lab beneath Burger King in Waco, Nebraska the place would be ashes in minutes.
