JEEZ !!!! ..... Doesn't Bill Gates have ENOUGH MONEY by now ???!!! And what else is he trying to do before he starts pushing up daisies ?? ..... Become "King of The Northern Hemisphere" ???!!! Why can't he spend his twilight years playing bridge with Warren Buffett, enjoying his vast 6100m2 mansion on the edge of Lake Washington, and enjoy watching his grand kids grow up like other sensible billionaires do ??!!!

I'm not much of a fan of Dr. Birx (she tries), but she sure is right on this: President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that big changes would be coming to his daily coronavirus briefings after a week filled with mindboggling questions on behalf of mainstream reporters looking to manufacture confrontation. The president in a Saturday night tweet said he would be canceling or limiting the daily briefings due to a few members of the media who –while enjoying historic ratings as people tune in to hear the president speak– have turned the briefings into something they were never intended to be – a battleground. “What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately,” Trump complained on Twitter. “They get record ratings, & the American people get nothing but Fake News.

Dr. Deborah Birx, one of the White House’s top advisors on the coronavirus pandemic, came out in defense of the president, calling out the media for pushing misinformation and being “slicey and dicey” with their headlines. “I think the media is very slicey and dicey about how they put sentences together in order to create headlines. …We know for millennials in other studies that some people may only read the headlines. And if there’s not a graphic, they’re not going to look any further than that,” Birx said on Fox News Saturday night, accusing the media of using these bogus headlines to bury actual useful information about the virus that the American people should know. “And I think we have to be responsible about our headlines. I think often, the reporting maybe accurate in paragraph three, four, and five. But I’m not sure how many people actually get to paragraph three, four, and five,” she said. Read More
