A partial sentence equals leaning right? Got it.
It is an article that is politically neutral. Only a fringe right wing group believes the pandemic is a hoax. CNBC itself leans right more often than left, but it’s focus isn’t really politics anyway. Most articles are focused on business and markets.
For you to say that CNBC ever leans right at all completely destroys any credibility you might have ever had Guisslapp. You're nothing more than a Trump hating, brainwashed mouthpiece for the far left establishment. You'd fit right in with the idiot leftists on The View.
You already have no credibility. Have you never watched Joe Kernen on Squawk Box in the morning? He has such a hard leg for Trump.
I watch CNBC quite a bit...a little less the past couple of months since I already knew what the stock market was doing. But, yeah, it is about as neutral politically as any network and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than most. Joe Kernen is clearly a very good guy and is a true American. Most of the others come cross as being apolitical, at least as they express themselves publicly. The younger dude, whose name escapes me, is a Dem-supporter...in fact there are a few who don't hide their left-leaning positions very well. But, I would say they are just "left-leaning" not hardcore, hopelessly lost lefties. They probably wouldn't be on this network...rooted in coverage of the market, and business, and finance...if they were leftists.
Andrew Ross Sorkin is way less liberal than Kernen is a Trump supporter. He tries to counterbalance Kernen somewhat. But the news coverage is mostly apolitical with Kernen being the most blatant exception.I watch CNBC quite a bit...a little less the past couple of months since I already knew what the stock market was doing
That's who I was thinking of, Andrew, one of the co-hosts...with the perky Becky Quick. Carl Quintenella (sp?) is left-leaning. But, as I said, I watch CNBC and find it to be as politically neutral as any network...probably the single best apolitical network out there.
Carl barely counterbalances Cramer’s affection for Trump.
Jim Cramer has an affection for Trump? Admittedly, I don't watch Mad Money very much anymore, mostly because I am beyond the heavy investing in the stock market stage. For me it's about asset preservation now. But, in months and years past, I heard Cramer being very critical of Trump on some issues, and he was coming directly from a leftist POV on it too. Maybe because his good friend, and former partner, Larry Kudlow is now on Trump's staff Cramer has softened his views of the president. Or, maybe because Cramer is actually a pretty smart fellow...he's seen the light!
Cramer is with Carl on Squawk on the Street after Squawk Box. He is more willing to say something negative about something Trump did than Kernen, but he usually says positive things about him. And good point about Kudlow. The fact that Trump lifted someone out of CNBC to put on his staff shows you this is not a left leaning network.
BINGO. You get it!
It's also a closer comparison based on freedom and ease of movement between states (it's a hallmark of the EU and the USA). It's called FREEDOM. Our statistics could have been changed significantly if we had restricted movement in and out of New York and California, but WE don't do that.
Just in WW2 we had 500,000+ soldiers die and untold millions wounded for our freedoms. Any idiot that would give that up for a virus that is WAY less deadly than the hand wringing tribe was telling us is someone I do not want representing me.
It also appears our health system was better able to handle the fallout than the socialized healthcare nations.
Just for GooberBoy:

I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
You just got your crank yanked on Facebook again.
The next day, Ezike offered clarification. She told reporters that Illinois was not counting those whose COVID-19 infection had nothing to do with their death.
“We are trying to make sure that things that aren’t related at all to the COVID diagnosis are removed, but if someone has another illness, like heart disease, and then had a stroke or other event, it’s not as easy to separate that and say COVID didn’t exacerbate that existing illness. That would not be removed from the count,” she said.
Here is a tip for you boomers:
People will put stuff on social media that appeals to your tribal instincts while making a crazy claim.
This should sound an automatic alarm. It is a red flag. You should ask yourself “What is this person’s agenda?” “What facts might they have left out that would contradict the impression they want me to make?”
You can then do some basic Google diligence and find out what’s really up. Usually, you will find out there is way more to the story and things aren’t nearly as crazy as the person making the video was making it out to seem.
The more you know.
That alarm goes off every time you post.
