After 4 Hours of Fauk News they are : ....

1. Putting the whole blame on China: this is also a common thread on other mixed aisle forums; BLAME China. It sounds like they TPM went out yesterday cause Chuck Grassley said something similar.

Counter: Call it Trump virus as much as possible.

2. Feeding of Faucis false statement that we didn't have a system for test: Yes we did, Obama admin tested 1 million people in a month (link). Fauci gave Red Don the out and FAUX News is repeating ad nausea but we need to push back on this we couldn't get test meme. There was a mom and pop German firm that did 1.5 million test in a month and got them distributed (in the link also)

Counter: Say Obama tested 1 million in a month, MAGA Suckers hate that ... response with "this is not political" most of the time

3. Understanding the ratings game: They are mostly selling the tanking DOW and giving decent information but wrapped around flashing cyrons, loud dings and looks of horror. Looks like they knew they weren't going to get the looks the other news organizations were getting with their mouths puckered against Red Don's butt all day.
