Kansas City Star Sells Fear Sunday

Big headlines and a story we've already seen on this story from MSM TV broadcasts . . . Sadly, the newspaper is offering readers a cute graphic and FEARMONGERING whilst other news outlets chronicle the challenges, risks and hope in much more accurate detail . . . Checkit:

'They're scared': Doctors lack safety gear in fight against coronavirus in KC region

Expecting a surge of patients from the new coronavirus pandemic, doctors and nurses across the Kansas City area are being forced to do things they haven't done before. They are sterilizing disposable face masks and bleaching gowns, items they used to throw away immediately.

Comments

  1. There aren't enough masks and gear but we knew that three weeks ago. You'd think that the richest nation in the world would find a way to solve that problem before people died.

    1. Lowest bidder mentality.

      It's cutting costs and hanging people out to dry that pays the bills for a lot of people.

      It has always been that way.

    2. Not to mention wasting 2 months trying to save the stock market and Trump Hotels instead of dealing with reality.

    3. @8:43 is a WILDMAN and up early, sniffing those farts. Careful. Maybe wear a mask.

      As for Trump and the stock market.

      It's obvious what he cares about more but you can't really blame him. It's tied directly to his approval rating.

    1. So now the great leader Trump needs the Dems to act first before he will raise a finger to protect your family from Trumpvirus. And that's fine with you since you have someone else to blame instead of your own pathetic servility.

  9. 8:39 is 100% correct, greed has ruined the health care system. They cut corners every opportunity they can and it appears that PPE is one corner they cut too much of. Hey let’s blame the government instead so we don't scare off investors ok.

    And I don’t have to sell off one of my vacation homes in the hamptons.

  10. Below is Pelosi's response to Trumps January travel ban

    Dems don’t care about anyone’s health.

    They needed a crisis to pin on Trump and are doing all they can to keep it going:

    "The Trump Admin’s expansion of its un-American travel ban is a threat to our security, our values and the rule of law. Barring more than 350 million people from predominantly African countries from traveling to the US, this rule is discrimination disguised as policy."

  11. This is just another of the Star's "we're just like the big cities" articles that run regularly.
    Their "reporters" couldn't identify a news story if it slapped them in the face, so they just trail along with the latest news trends being reported by someone else.
    And today's editorial claims that, since KCMO's small size doesn't make the cut for direct federal assistance, the rules should be changed.
    Where's an editorial about throwing away hundreds of millions on worthless crap and not having a rainy day fund, even when the economy was booming with record employment?
    With the suck-ups at the Star, it's always someone's else's job to bail out the terrible government KCMO has suffered from for decades.

  13. TKC and The Star more propaganda BS. My wife is a Physician and she told me that Menorah finally received their first Coronvirus patient yesterday. Keep pumping up the FEAR!

    From Jan. 28, people sounding the alarm. Your fat orange fascist couldn't have done a worse job. South Korea's response was light years ahead of your con artist. Our death rate per capita is more than double of theirs. George W and Obama both recognized the danger a virus like this posed and prepared for it. What your orange dismantled what they did and what he didn't dismantle he ignored.

    I fully realize asking a cult member to read is probably fruitless but read these, learn some actual facts. Trump and Fox are lying to you. Feel free to refute any of this with your own facts. Cited, of course. I won't hold my breath.

    1. You actually don't know what 'fascist' means, which goes some way toward invalidating your histrionic, Trump-obsessed post.

      You are the cult. Normal people realize that Trump probably has made mistakes, but they're not so obsessed with him to forget that the WHO was against travel restrictions on the basis of hurting people's feelings, and that there were, and are, vast problems with the CDC and our national disaster infrastructure far before Trump came along. Never mind the irresponsible delays in passing relief bills so we could wedge in diversity pork. Not to mention the crazed antics of AOC on the floor of the house as she advocates for something or other that is clear only to her. See? Trump isn't perfect, far from it. But there is plenty of blame to go around if you're obsessed with blame. Hint, hint.

      Now, off to your voodoo dolls and pins and Orange Man Bad altar. We're bored with you.

  19. Your ex CEO on a ventilator3/30/20, 12:15 AM

    8:38 - You should know by now the richest people in the world got rich off your hard work and never gave a fuck about you while they did, and never will. Survival of the fittest is a bitch, as long as you suck the media tit no matter what network, or party you will never win, this world is politics and money, and if you are not at the Top... you are at the bottom, and you being at the bottom is where they need you to be so they can stay on top. Still be proud of your 9-5 or your 11-7 or your graveyard shift, if it pays your bills with struggle and you cant find a way to rise above that...well then you get what you have, and thats all you will ever have. Might be time to think outside the box!

  20. ^^^ Good advice from CEO on a ventilator, dying people have nothing to lose when it comes to the truth - Thanks old school cocksucker for your advice, it sounds good makes a ton of sense, but we young bloods have shit to do and its not that. MERICA

  23. Doctors are concerned to the point of scared. The local Kansas City Star writes about it. So that's "fearmongering."

    This from one of the absolute most Yellow Journalism blogger in the nation?

    Really?

    I'd laugh but it's pathetic. Pitiful. Wow. You got chutzpah, Ton.
