Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Well, define "leaders". I can think of one (POTUS) who just said schools "must" remain open. I can think of several governors who are absolutely not talking about shutdowns or other gloom and doom.

My own governor (Newsom), not so much. Pushed a statewide indoor mask mandate and just mandated that healthcare workers MUST have boosters by Feb 1 to be considered vaccinated. In a state where we're seeing, AT MOST, a minor blip in cases, and are still showing a gradual downward trend in deaths.

So, let's not act like there's one "the media", or, for that matter, one "our leaders". It's a lot of different people with different opinions and interests, not one single entity.

He also said this season will be known as the season of death

I could name several governors pushing lockdowns and strict mask policies

If you go back and look at my post I said there were exceptions to leaders crying death and despair 

Your first complaint was "the media", and now it's "leaders". I can name several governors pushing lockdowns and strict mask policies. I can also name several governors advocating the exact opposite. "Our leaders" are not all or nothing, just as it's not all or nothing when you refer to "the media".

really?

thats the best ya got?

Again if you go back and look at my post I said there were exceptions.  What about exception dont you understand?

The important thing here is that you have both media and leaders pushing this armageddon response just because they are complete idiots and oblivious to the actual facts

FFS. You started this with "not one word about this in the media".

Now you're going to backtrack and say there are "exceptions", while at the same time you double down with "both media and leaders pushing this Armageddon response".

Which is it. Is it "not one word"? Or is it both the media and leaders? Or are there exceptions? And do the exceptions mean that they're words that don't therefore count when you say "not one word"?

When I said exceptions I was referring to leaders and Ive already said Id give you the benefit of the doubt concerning media

I said we have both media and leaders pushing the armageddon response not meaning all but some

you are building a strawman concerning media and leaders determined to skip over the main reason I even posted

Yes we have some media and some leaders being stupid and oblivious to the facts

did I say it right?

In short these eggheads want to once again shut down our economy when its clear thats not necessary

Okay... So I guess your point is...

"Some people are doing some things and some people are doing other things but I'm gonna focus on the ones doing the things I don't like and yell at them."

yep when it includes The President and at least 5 state governors plus at least 5 major media outlets

you got it

If there's not one word, where'd you see it?

(Earlier, you spoke about the old BS detector. And when people start talking about nary word across millions of them each day, mine starts a beeping)

Being from a state where the governor is implementing various shutdown policies I would have thought you would take this much more seriously then you are

why dont you see the seriousness of his actions

you can pick on my choice of words all you want but when your freedom is being taken away I would have thought you would have a much more concerned reaction

and since you are saying my concerns are BS I dont see any need for further discussion 

good luck and keep wearing that mask

More media not discussing it I guess?
