Alex, I was just thinking nice things about you today and then you start on Ivermectin and the 2020 election. Let's be clear - Sleepy Joe got 81 millions BALLOTS with his name on them. THAT DOES NOT MEAN HE LEGITIMATELY WON THE ELECTION.

The only reason we keep bringing this up, and President Trump does, is to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Between Russiagate and covid BS, if mainstream news entities like CNN and MSNBC were held to account they would cease to exist.

I sit here in Arizona. We have an outlying area of Arizona that conducted two elections in the same voting locations, in the same rooms, roughly seven feet apart, yes 7 feet. On the same day as the November general elections. The voter turnout was 100% different, 50% lower for the congressional elections. Yet, we are supposed to believe that this area produced Biden's entire margin of victory with a swing to the upside. Very strange things happened in AZ which the Dems will try to replicate in the future. Some incredibly powerful force hit mobile home parks, nursing homes, apartments with centralized mail collection. We'll see. We'll be ready next time.

Can you imagine the chilling effect this will have on reporting now? And what a banana republic; if you're on the correct side of an issue (the side supported by all the big silos of our society) you will not pay a price whatsoever. But GOD HELP YOU if you go against that narrative. You will be bankrupted six ways from Sunday. I can't think of a bigger chilling effect, other than jailing people for wrongthink.

I and many others like me believe in the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine/zinc or ivermectin/zinc. I got delta (confirmed by a test) and felt my symptoms dramatically decline after starting my regime of hydroxychloroquine/zinc. My wife seeing that I got delta started taking it before she had symptoms and ended up with a mild cold at best. I know dozens of others with similar experiences--no one died or was hospitalized and none of us got the vaccine. I don't know a singe person in this cohort that got a repeat bought of covid either. I believe it works based on direct personal experience. My friends who took the vax route have not faired as well.

All very good points.

Hard to believe you still think 2020 election fraud claims are baseless, though. Plenty of documented cases of it. Almost all unprosecuted under the guise that they weren’t “widespread or material”. Hardly a defense, and severely damaging to election integrity. THAT’S why so many still think it was stolen. And why Jan 6 happened at all.

As far as ivermectin is concerned, I took it. I am unvaxed. I used it as a prophylactic when I was traveling. When I got Covid in July of 2022 I was traveling with my nephew in law who is vaxed and 15 years younger. My case was like a head cold and his case was a lot worse. Stomach problems, fever and bad cough. I had none of those symptoms. And I’m 66. So maybe it doesn’t work for some people, but I did not have a bad case nor did it keep me from getting up everyday and going out touring.

Fox let some people say some wild stuff (Sidney Powell!!) on the air, but that's free speech. This settlement is a devastating blow to free speech and freedom of the press. I wish they'd gone to trial, lost, and appealed to an unbiased court. This settlement hurts freedom for a long time.

Was it a “conspiracy theory” that the six swing states that all near-simultaneously stopped counting with Trump leads, only to swing hard-Biden, all - ALL - violated the Constitution, Art. II, Sect 1, Clause ? Was it conspiracy that the SCOTUS refused to even HEAR cases from multiple states alleging explicit violations of the plain text of their source document?

I enjoy Mr. Berenson’s work very much, and though we don’t always agree, I always learn from him. But his dismissive spin of the 2020 election is an insult to many honest people, and I suppose, intended as such.

You are so very wrong about Ivermectin and the election. I have seen the evidence. Don't know how you can still say that. Love ya anyway.

No one has yet to answer the question why we need complicated vote counting programs in the first place to count votes, let alone a program that doesn't count whole votes and instead gives them a ratio. This again seems like the wool is being pulled over our eyes. Someone please explain what I am missing here.

The charge against Tucker Carlson is just flat out wrong. He challenged Sydney Powell to put up or shut up: https://www.foxnews.com/opi...

As Glen Greenwald has reported: "The rest of the media constantly implies if not outright states that Tucker Carlson endorsed or implicitly supported Trump's election fraud claims, when everyone who has ever watched Fox knows that's a lie."

That being said, it takes a great deal of gall for other media outlets to take a holier than thou attitude-at least Fox didn't accept a Pulitzer for this reporting.

Ivermectin DOES work but thank you for your honest opinion, solid points and chuckle 😂

You will never learn that the source of the study is as important as the results of the study, will you? The lead author of the cited ivermectin study, Susanna Naggie, actually ran Pfizer clinical trials.

Here's a nice photo of her jabbing a 9-year old whom the caption describes as her own daughter:

If you have the super power of "remembering shit that happened in the past", you'lll remember CNN dunking on FOX for losing viewers to NewsMaxx -- which was ACTUALLY talking about the election being stolen.

-----------------

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/08/media/newsmax-fox-news-ratings/index.html

Newsmax TV has notched a ratings win over Fox News Channel for the very first time.

The win, fueled by conservative viewers who are disappointed by the election results, happened Monday evening. In the key 25- to 54-year-old demographic prized by advertisers, “Greg Kelly Reports” on Newsmax out-rated “The Story with Martha MacCallum” on Fox.

The margin was narrow — Kelly averaged 229,000 viewers in the demo and MacCallum averaged 203,000 — but it is still a milestone in the cable news industry.

Before the election, Newsmax was not regarded as a formidable competitor to Fox; it was mostly dismissed as one of a handful of wannabe challengers.

But President Trump’s loss on November 3 changed the cable TV calculus. Viewers who were frustrated when Fox admitted the truth of Trump’s loss sought other options. Trump encouraged them to try Newsmax.

---------------

The media can't even keep their BS straight. Should we laugh at FOX for losing viewers because of their crappy election (non)coverage, or should we sue FOX for their crappy election coverage?

The answer -- as always -- is "whatever gets us more power."

I don't know the particulars of the Fox-Dominion lawsuit, but anyone with two neurons firing understands that the 2020 election was fraudulent. Anyone who believes that Biden and Harris got 81 million votes is daft. Biden couldn't get more that 1% in the Democrat primaries in his previous attempts. Harris didn't even make it to the Iowa caucuses. FoxNews is corporate media. They all play for the same team, and it isn't ours. Being good at cheating isn't a virtue.
