    Gotta love the Left Wing Media, they sure have their Priorities in order. Ted Cruz takes his Daughters to Cancun, which is a Hop and Skip away from Texas and ABC goes Crazy, but when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's Political Covid-19 experiment kills more Elderly People than Nazi Dr Josef Mengele ( The Angel of Death ) killed Jews, it barely registers on the Richter Scale.

    Liberals fear Ted for some reason. That ABC mentioned the Cuomo thing at all seems like anarchy at Disney is breaking out...

    Well, the Cruz thing is a RECENT Development (and would more aptly fit the definition of "News").

    The Cuomo "Nursing Home" thing has been going on for months.

    What are people expecting on this Cuomo story?
    9/11-Style Coverage?:bored:

    The News is ABC World News Tonight, barely covering the Cruz Story compared to the Andrew Cuomo Nursing Home Deaths is the Current Event. Try and keep up :salute:

    I DO "Keep Up".

    And, as far as, True "News" the Cruz Thing is more CURRENT.

    I am extremely sorry if certain people are disappointed that this Cuomo Story isn't being covered like the 1969 Moon Landing.

    Also, one may want to consider misguided attempts Over-the-top Hyperbole.

    I take it that you aren't a big fan of Cuomo?

    Or is this just one of thise "Lookie Here! Dems Bad!" Stories that needed it's own thread?

    In any event, I feel that your attempt to equate what happened in NY State to the Horrors of Holocaust was incredibly misguided (and incredibly disrespectful to those who suffered the Horrors of the Holocaust).

    One was old news and one was current news. It's not rocket science.

    Yes, Cuomo admitted being corrupt on Monday of this week and Cruz flew to Mexico Wednesday. Huge difference.
    Cuomo covered up thousands of deaths and Cruz's actions made people wish they could go to Mexico too. Huge difference.

    The "journalists" in the MSM are really just petty little propagandists designed to influence stupid people.

    Ted Cruz makes a poor choice of travel on an event that he can have little to near zero impact on. Cuomo kills thousands, lies about it, covers it up, threatens those that would expose him.... and virtually no coverage.

    Ted's screw up gets 4X the coverage? We live in an Orwellian Age ruled by Oligarchs. Anyone not getting that yet either doesn't want to, or is too dumb to figure it out. I'll bet the coverage was the same break out on all the MSM networks.

    Haha. This was my first thought.

    Wut?

    And any decent liberal here wouldn't disagree that Cuomo is a berk and he f***** up... Plenty of MSM articles to support this. Talk about preaching to the converted!

    Our prime minister in Australia did the same thing. Went on holidays to Hawaii during our peak fire period. He was hammered mercilessly, and has since run a fairly tight ship. Let's see if Ted can learn from his mistakes.

    Disrespectful to those who suffered the Horrors of the Holocaust, I'm pointing out and making a Comparison of the Horrors in these Retirement Homes where Andrew Cuomo, because of his Political Bias and Hatred of President Trump, sentenced over 15,000 Elderly people to horrible Deaths and Liberals are trying to cover it up and hide it the best they can. You made a comparison to 9/11 coverage, well a little less than 3000 People died that Horrible day, but Andrew Cuomo's decision to send Covid-19 Patients to Retirement Homes full of the Elderly, sentenced over 15,000 of them to Horrible Deaths that were 5 TIMES the number of 9/11. The fact that this story is covered 1/4th the amount of Cruz hopping a Plane to Cancun is a Disgrace.

    Excellent point, Mm.

    I really think there is Universal Condemnation of Cuomo (from both sides of the political spectrum).

    I, personally, am unaware of any "Liberals" that are even attempting to "defend" Cuomo (as to this matter).

    Still, the story has been Ongoing for MONTHS.

    What are people expecting?
    A Stampede of People to tattoo parlors to get "Cuomo Bad" etched on their foreheads?

    Were talking about the Left Wing Media and their BIAS of what they determine is News and what they don't. 15,000 Elderly People dying alone on Ventilators is a WAY! more important story than Ted Cruz hopping on a Plane to Cancun, but the Left Wing Media tries to hide it's importance.

    Let's not here any more nonsense about Cuomo being ignored by MSN.

    Cuomo-gate: a Nixonian scandal is engulfing New York

    The biggest political scandal in America right now is playing out in New York, where Governor Andrew Cuomo is in a lot of trouble – and rightly so. The Democratic governor did not merely wildly mismanage his state’s response to the Covid emergency, while netting himself a lucrative book deal and an Emmy. He did something worse.

    In the middle of a public health emergency, he used his office to help one of his largest political donors shield itself from legal consequences as 15,000 nursing home residents died from Covid-19 – and then he and his administration underreported that death toll, helping the same donor.

    See post above. I think you've underestimated how much it is being covered. I think you'll find that this is quite the competing news, despite the fact that the Ted Cruz issue is very topical today

    People are expecting the truth, in a timely manner. Oh, and evidently, PolitiFact is defending Cuomo in somewhat of an underhanded manner.
    They still have the story, "Cuomo forced nursing homes across NY to take in COVID positive patients and planted the seeds of infection that killed thousands" rated as Mostly False.

    Fox wrote this as an appeal to its audience’s grievance and victimhood, a vein that they mine profusely.

    They have nothing to complain about. They’ve got their own little alternative reality that they can run and hide in.

    Lame stream media is simply disgusting! Their BIAS is vomit in a toilet and has lacked any journalistic integrity for decades now!

    Cruz is a threat. Technically he's latino and he was ( i think ) the 2nd runner up to Trump in the primaries. We also know the left owns most of the media so of course they are gonna go after Ted Cruz for everything. Sure, its biased as heck, but they DO have that right to cover what they want. Also, as @Andrew Jackson noted, the Cruz story is newer. I know its way less controversial but it is newer. I mean even if they happened the same day, they'd still probably cover the Cruz one more but hey, it is what it is and that was a DUMB move for Ted Cruz to do.

    You have a point there but Lying Ted Cruz is such a Fornicating hypocrite that he just attracts attention.

    Yes Lying Ted is a Irish American Communist Cuban Canadian born Latino. Other than being a low lifevand hypocrite he can be a fairly up there candidate. Of course the political moron Beeno O'Rourk got within 2 points of Lying Ted in their Senate fight.
