Simple googling shows that the article was cribbed from https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-two-weeks-1-million-viewer... . I've banned the site. Normally we'd replace the URL above but I don't think this thread is salvageable.
Thanks, dang. Is this a Sunday morning phenomenon? the shift in HN audience bias. Kinda bizarre thread.

CNN reported that it is a horse dewormer (which it is) and that the treatment is outright opposed by the FDA (which it is). [0] Joe Rogan is spreading misinformation and potentially VERY dangerously at that. [0] https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-shoul...
> CNN reported that it is a horse dewormer (which it is) That's like saying Rogan was drinking engine coolant because he was drinking water. The US currently requires refugees from certain regions to take ivermectin prophylactically. If Fox News ran a headline saying "Biden Administration Forcing Horse Dewormer on Immigrants", I think we'd all object. That's basically what CNN is doing here. (To avoid confusion on my…
1. It would be good to get a source on that. 2. What do prescribed regimens have to do with unprescribed ones?
I personally think that it is right to be pretty skeptical of ALL news outlets at the moment. Am I saying that none of them get it right ever? Of course not. I would also ask anyone who is upset about this article calling out CNN to reflect on why they are upset. Is it because CNN is associated with being an ally of the left? I would ask the same if anyone feeling the same way about Fox/your favorite news outlet here…
Agreed. I think the problem with CNN more than others such as MSNBC or Fox News is that CNN mixes opinion and news pretty aggressively. Daily or weekend news with the latter two is relatively objective, prime time is almost entirely option, but viewers know this. With CNN, it is all conflated.
As a person outside the US. I watch some of them along with Fox news opinion programs mainly for fun
Terrible untrusted website, but having recently watched CNN for 10 min, I also don't think it's wrong.
The worst part of air travel for our family is CNN on every screen. The children were scared seeing all the disasters in remote areas, the non-stop crises and arguments. WTF airports.
Yea thats a super bizarre decision on the part if airports, I don’t imagine CNN/fox pays them, they probably pay huge cable bills for the privilege of increasing their customers’ anxiety. Weather channel might make sense, but why not some anthony bourdain or rick steves, some upbeat travel TV?

>Just because the FDA doesn't recommend it, it doesn't mean it's not beneficial, it merely means they don't know yet, given clinical trials are still ongoing. a) There are no clinical trials ongoing as it being a covid treatment. Some studies, sure, but no trials. Major manufacturers looked into this and studied it, and then pretty quickly scraped the idea of using ivermectin-as-we-know-it-right-now before any trials…
I don't necessarily believe ivermectin or molnupiravir to work (and I don't care, my family had covid and it wasn't anything special), but I can see that anything that is not a vaccine face opposition by traditional media, and I started to take a note whenever traditional media start talking crap about something. I also don't think vaccines are a scam, but I do think they're mostly useless. Covid is not much more tha…
While this is not entirely wrong, the majority of people will not get severe covid, still if you happen to get severe covid it's a lot worse than the flu including the chances of lasting permanent damage due to the disease but also due to the medication and treatment (e.g. steroid may blind you, ecmo may fuck up the mobility of your legs permanently). And it's more likely you get severe covid than severe flu.
CNN is no good. Journalists describing Joe Rogan taking horse dewormer when he had a prescription for Ivermectin is indefensible.
The entire corporate media blatantly ignoring that we've been safely giving Ivermectin to humans for decades is a total disgrace.

"AstraZeneca is now the largest company in the UK." Unfortunately the rest of what you wrote is not worth replying to, nor discussing, until you can clarify this conspiratorial-sounding statement.
AstraZeneca is a the largest company in the uk by market cap. That's just one example, my point is that there is plenty of money in vaccines and our taxes are paying for them with no oversight on whether people actually need them or not. Sure, if you're vulnerable or if you don't want to get the flu, get the vaccine. For everyone else, that's just a waste of money. I also consider covid mortality to be pretty low, I'…

As an outsider who has dabbled in American television, this is true for all of American television. It’s incredible how even those who don’t think they’re brainwashed are brainwashed.
It's true for print and news apps as well. There are zero English language sources of real journalism.
