Media Conspiracy Theory. Tell me I'm wrong...

Watching the Coronavirus coverage, I was struck by something strange.

All I've heard about in the media is California, Washington State and New York...yet, when MSNBC put up a map of suspected or confirmed cases, they showed almost as many in Texas and Florida.

You don't suppose our media would highlight problems in Blue States and downplay problems in Red States, would you?

In the past, I would not think it, but then again, in the past I never thought an unqualified, corrupt, insane man with a shaved Golden Retriever butt for a hairdo would be the "leader of the Free world".

I wonder if the media is trying to make this seem that it's just a problem in what the Fuhrer describes as "shitholes"

That once had to have part of his butt shaved so the vet could drain an anal abcess.

My poor guy used his tongue to try to comb his remaining butt hair over the bald spot.

It looked exactly like Donnie Short Fingers bouffant.

The people in San Antonio, for example, were evacuated from Asia and they have been quarantined since their arrival.

the Media will drag it's feet as long as they can. Our Visitors Bureau will do it's best to kill off any reported cases. So far the reporting says,out break of Flu Cases.

The folks running the Casino's are scared shitless because their big whales are not coming to drop big dollars as per our Neighbor who runs Security at one of the Joints on the Strip.
