"Lying is fine as long as it's done to malign people their audience hates," journalist Glenn Greenwald responded. "That is 100% the rule at liberal corporate outlets. CNN knows this. Joe Rogan's earnest shock that Jim Acosta is lying about him is kind of endearing."

The media was ripped this week after sharing a false report about Oklahoma hospitals being overwhelmed by patients who had overdosed on ivermectin.
The story was originally reported at Oklahoma's KFOR-TV news, and quoted testimony from Dr. Jason McElyea.
The Northeastern Hospital System would later issue a statement regarding his association with the hospitals in question, revealing that McElyea he had not worked at the location for two months nor treated any ivermectin overdoses.

The Rolling Stone, one of several outlets to report or share the story, issued an "update" following the bombshell clarification, which many readers suggested should have been updated to a retraction.

are you implying that sometimes media tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Nope.
Just clarifying for those that do think that.

And just a reminder that Seabreeze is for good times. Watersports are about getting out and having fun.

Heavy topics about conspiracies, politics, religion .. we tried that .. didn't work. Not our thing. Please do jump on reddit or fb or any number of platforms that cater for that stuff.

We're here for a good time ... comic relief from the seriousness of the world. e.g. The Cheap Seats on Channel 10.

Enjoy...
