Fox News anchor tells people to go out and get coronavirus

Oh gosh… I’m German and instantly read “Weiße People”.

Not sure what to make of it, my brain just doing pareidolia or if this is some strange karma like ‘coincidence’.

Yuck. Who would do that, and admit it proudly?

“Canada” is not angry. You are. As @MalevolentPixy said above, you don’t speak for all of us. Similarly, Murdoch and the Koch brothers don’t speak for all USians, especially in these forums where the great majority probably agree with you. Lecturing and finger-pointing at all Americans isn’t helpful. They know.

Good idea. Let’s start with how the Covid-19 crisis has highlighted conditions in our long-term care facilities and remote indigenous communities.

German native speaker here. Same same.
And you know what? I’m not sure is is unintentional. I know, don’t assume malice if stupidity is sufficient, or something. But that guy seems smart enough to be paid for making outrageous bullshit up.

Personally, if this was one of these Tarantino-like films, I would be waiting for someone with a blade to turn up in one of this guys videos to chop this arm off, put it in a bag, and label it “evidence”. Or something.

This is reality, however. So all I got is staring in disbelief on a screen and be glad this isn’t a film. Otherwise, it would be a horror movie. And we all know that only one person and the arsehole with the weapon survives in those flics.

It’s the font. Or rather, cultural connotations of that font family - that may differ a little in the English, and American tradition.

You have some wackos on fox news and he takes the biscuit what a clown

This guy is clearly scum of highest order, but in this case, I think it is unintentional. The font and the writing looks exactly like the preamble to the US constitution.

Wow. That takes me back. Back in the day, it seemed like that topic popped up every month or so and quickly descended into a shitshow.

[This comment is relevant because the topic is Fox News and I wrote “shitshow”.]

There was an Irish-American woman named Mary Mallon who also refused to wash her hands. Every where she went, people got sick. Because of her “strong principles” she ended up institutionalized for the last 20 years of her life. Nice lady, very charming, and she killed 57 people.

Thanks for pointing that out. I will try to think of this whenever I’m close to start berating people in public who are, in my eyes, behaving irresponsible. I was very close to this today. But my assumptions could be as wrong as in this case.

I will try to keep it in mind. But given my current temper, I can’t promise.

To be honest, this guy seems so all-around awful that it would not have surprised me if you had been right.

But yeah, it’s important, if also often hard, to be sure of your facts before letting rip. Your commitment to accuracy is definitely important and worthwhile. :slight_smile:
