High Ground Underground

There seems to be an endless stream of misleading or outright lying “studies” and articles about the hydroxychloroquine therapeutic cocktail for COVID-19.   And they prey on the ignorance, naiveté and casual reading/uncritical thinking of the public.   Or their pre-disposed biases.   There is little explanation for the perpetrators other than confirmation bias (the scientific and medical communities are not immune, and certainly not journalism), incompetence or outright dishonesty, apparently for political motivation.   But as with the investigation into the many FBI errors, random errors would err in different directions, but when all err in one direction, there's something more afoot. In any case, professional (medical, scientific & journalistic) malpractice.   Together with my own misdiagnosis described the other day, my faith in the medical community is being shaken. This week saw the withdrawal of an anti-hydroxy “study” paper published in the ost...

I’ve been a viewer of GMA for many years (over 30 – since Joan Lunden & David Hartman), but that ended Monday, Sept. 25, 2017 – a month ago.  While entertaining and somewhat informative (I rely on other sources for more balance), I have long put up with occasionally clear political bias.  But your coverage that morning of the NFL protests was too much to stomach, and drove me over my threshold for tolerance.  I could just as well watch MSNBC for that kind of coverage.  I have now been watching the CBS morning program, because CBS had the courage to fire a VP who made such despicable remarks about the Las Vegas shooting victims.  I will never patronize anyone who contributes to legitimizing those who dishonor or threaten those brave protectors of society, who for instance performed so well in the Las Vegas shootings.    I seriously doubt anyone at ABC will take the time to read or understand my reasoning because you are comfortable in ...
