    Even if you believe that his quote of, "It is their new hoax" is absolutely clear (and it is not), then it was still an insanely idiotic decision to use the word hoax while discussing any aspect of the virus.

    Yeap it's Fox news and Trumps fault that they started talking about this FDA approved treatment 3 weeks ago. They should've kept quite about it and not tell the public, I'm sure you wouldn't have be criticizing for that. lol Transparency always good, information on potential treatment good and preordering 33 million pills really good. Bad for hyperpartisan libs that don't have the virus but good for everyone else.

    This story is a NOTHINGBURBER, CNN downplayed the Swine Flu Epidemic during the Obama adminstration and they weren't sued, so Fox News isn't going to have any problems with Coronavirus. If anyone should be sued, it's the Democratic Party and their Open Border and pushback against restricting travel to the United States from Coronavirus Hotspots like China. President Trumps Leadership is going to Prevent MILLIONS of Deaths in the United States.

    There certainly is evidence that the initial virus infections did not begin in the wet market but did spread there.

    The Constitution is not about freedom of the press in your country, we ALL know that, the Darwin award goes to those who believe the talking head at the Foxy Blonde Legs Channel is always right.

    First, we should throw all stupid blondes in jail, then certainly all members of the "open border" let the illegals in party, oh, that would be DEMOCRATS. Let's just pretend I don't believe the science, and just throw all the Global Warming hoaxers in Jail too. We could go on and on, and here is the infinitely available get out of jail free card:

    "The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of [those that believe FOX news can do no wrong]." (Clinton)

    "We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of [those that believe FOX news can do no wrong]." (Obama)

    We should start by throwing them in Jail, and throwing away the key.

    Oh good. Now how long before the circumstantial evidence turns into "Trump did it to wage war with China. He must be stopped in November"?

    Because in the alternative media facts have been presented that contradict the official story and its timeline. More, I am personally aware of a handful of cases in this country that happened before the official narrative says.

    Sorry, in many ways this is a replay of 911. The closer scrutiny applied to the official narrative(s) the more quickly it becomes obvious that the official story cannot be true. Too many facts work against them. Same with Las Vegas shooting and many other such events, including the shootdown of MH17.

    When everything the American people believe is false, we will know the success of our misinformation efforts.

    There is absolutely ZERO evidence that the virus was created in a weapons lab.

    Without a vaccination ready to go lol. Think about that we create put it out in China and kill ourselves, f'ing brilliant. Anyone believing that would probably think fish bowl cleaner will keep them from getting the virus.

    If the best piece of evidence you have is a naked assertion that "of course there is evidence," then you have ZERO ****ING EVIDENCE.

    And, of course, if it was true then it would only be righties dying from listening to Fox since the left would never watch it, and this wouldn't be an issue.

    But let em try, let em fail again, it's all they know anymore.

    Not sure of your point there, but the facts are very clear that by way of sanctions against many nations including China, the US is and has been exercising economic warfare for a number of years. Military think tanks have a term "hybrid war", in which war is waged by hybrid means, perhaps the combination of economic warfare and biological warfare.

    Tucker and Laura have been reporting on Chloroquine et. al. for weeks. That in part is why the FDA just approve off label use. This will save lives.

    Getting sued for being wrong on an opinion, do you realize just what hell would be released?

    No suggestion about it sir. As USA Berman in Manhattan has been sitting on a petition submitted a year ago or more providing him with all sorts of facts and evidence that the buildings came down by controlled demolition.

    He has remained silent and inactive in his duty in that regard that they have now submitted a petition for Mandamus.

    If Mr. Berman has nothing to hide, why is he hiding so much?

    Opinions are not part of “fact based” news stories. News organizations have a responsibility to fact check their stories. Nunes is suing because a lie (which could have easily been cross checked and determined to be a lie) was published.

    Evidence of that the Chinese Wuhan Coronavirus is a biological weapon created CCP and its military :

    1. The Chinese Wuhan Coronavirus first appeared near a biological weapons lab in Wuhan.
    2. Chinese agents deliberately spread the virus around the world
    3. The CCP sent out ineffective testing kits and masks to cripple the response

    Should I go on?

    ...Yea, if your best piece of evidence is that someone is not responding fast enough to a FOIA request filed 19 years after the event, then you have no evidence.

    But I am glad to hear that you proudly embrace the 9/11 truther. It is now much easier for me to justify ignoring your future points.
