well that doctor actually said this; “With the omicron variant, kids are either going to get the vaccine or they're likely to get a serious condition of omicron.” - which is just an outright lie.

multiple studies have shown that children are more at risk from the flu than they are covid - and those studies were before omicron - which is a much milder strain than delta or any of the previous strains.

Not nearly as bad as another doctor who went on NBC News and said 146,000 children died from covid in the US and that covid is one of the top 10 killers of children now - but still pretty bad imo.

Yes I know it's an incorrect statement.  It might be an intentional lie, or it might just be an incorrectly phrased statement.

I think what he meant to say, given the context of the rest of the discussion, is "with the omicron variant, kids that get the vaccine are less likely to come down with a serious case, than kids that don't."  That would be a correct statement, and would be consistent with the rest of the discussion.

But that's not what he actually said, and although I can probably forgive him for misspeaking, MSNBC clearly latched on to this one incorrect statement, and used it as their headline.  We all know exactly why MSNBC chose to do this, no need to belabor the point, and while I'm willing to forgive a doctor for a misstatement when it's possible and even likely he meant something else, I won't extend the same courtesy to MSNBC who knew better and published it anyway to further an agenda.

I see what you're saying now, and I agree with you. 

As for MSNBC - they keep selling the fear porn because they know it'll get clicks and eyeballs.  

Except- they are not winning over viewers. Their ratings are horrible and getting worse.

Yeah, because ORANGE BAD MAN GONE. Lol. The ratings have free fallen because I think people are getting tired. Can only lie to them so much before they tune out. At least they can still crack in the few million on some shows. CNN can't even get over 700-800k right now. MSNBC might be screwed though, as the one person they have that commands a real audience and has a real following- Rachel Maddow - is stepping away.

CNN is actually hilarious - they are starting a streaming service called CNN+. They currently get laughably low viewership on basic cable which people get basically for free as it's part of every basic cable package. If they think they can start a streaming service and charge people $10-15 a month and anyone is going to actually pay for that - well they are nuts.

I started scanning the MSNBC web site every few days, it is rather entertaining, and predictable.  They don't change content very often which suggests they are a low budget op.  I scan CNN's also a few times a week.  Both really need Trump back, and both need a basic upgrade in material, I don't mean less biased, I mean just more quality stuff.

And I don't think that other cable network is, well, much, either, but they update constantly.

well thats to be expected from someone who gets their news from Popular Mechanic 

Well, we know for certain that lockdowns didn't work. As such, I would submit that the states which didn't lock down did better by their people.
