Two telemedicine startups are working together on a program that allows worried patients to text their concerns about the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, to a chatbot that can link them to remote doctors. The goal is to help them avoid waiting in crowded clinics that may increase the risk of infection for them and for healthcare providers.

Why don't we hold our "leaders" accountable for their words?

Is this a new thing, or has it really always been this bad in this country, where elected officials all the way up to and including the president, can just say whatever they want and rarely, if ever, must actually account for those words?

I don't accept that it has always been this way.

I know the Press tries to confront them during pressers, but nearly always, just more lies are offered and the real questions ignored. A reporter may ask the correct question but when it goes ignored and there's no follow up, what can we do?

Why is such a seemingly fundamental thing so problematic?

I mean, it's as simple as: "you said this. What did you mean?" And then just don't let them not answer. Just don't. If they have to finally stand there in awkward silence, let them. Make them slink away in shame if they won't answer.

Where are our courageous reporters when we desperately need them right fucking now? Who will hold their feet to the fires? We just can't let this continues. It's not healthy for a democracy, and right now, it is killing us.

Now I'm worried about Don Lemon

He's looking like he may be next.

Hey Don, take it easy, don't be a hero!

If Anderson goes out too, I'm gonna lose it!
