Sure, Schmidt is right about #LaraLogan. The absurdity that she spouts off here should be cause to penalize $NWSA, but how? It's not as if either satellite or cable television providers have to answer to the @FCC
The Fairness Doctrine only applied to broadcasters (T.V. that one picked up with antennas and radio station). But Reagan killed that in 1987.

It would seem that there are no statutes or laws that can keep the Lara Logan's of the world from disseminating noxious screeds against the likes #AnthonyFauci who are trying to keep us well if the likes of @rupertmurdoch chose to sit her ilk in front of their cameras.

would @smartfinal tell it's employees at smartandfinal.com/stores/spring-… how #coronavirus works
I was told by an employee not wearing a mask that I could not put my reusable bags on the register conveyor belt because "it isn't safe."

I didn't pick a fight, but the #covidiocy of the situation sticks with me.
Your staff doesn't seem to understand that an unmasked human being (uncovered mouth and nose) is much more likely to infect a person than a virus on a reusable bag that may be transferred on to any part of the check stand.

@CNNSpecialNews
Your panel was SPOT ON! RE: APRE
@VP's speech (WHICH I COULDN'T AVOID SINCE EVERY INTERNATIONAL NEWS CHANNEL I get was carrying it): MY FIRST OBSERVATION as a fully trained & qualified Virologist:THE ABSENCE OF # FACEMASKS & #SocialDistancing!
#RNC2020Convention
They certainly behaved as if the #COVID19Pandemic was OVER IN THE USA!! Although @POTUS @FLOTUS were socially distanced from the crowd in front of them, the audience wasn't: from one another or even from @VP who gave one of them a fist: both without #facemasks!!
#COVIDIOCY!! 🙄
I can't wait for the statistics for #COVID19usa diagnostics, especially amongst the audience (many in the front row appear to be war injury-handicapped #WarVeterans) in the aftermath of today's public health fiasco!

I have to watch the 3 hour "Bulletproof Mind" training by self-proclaimed "killology" expert, David Grossman as part of my research for a story.

Figure I'll make it interesting by threading up this man's brainworms for anyone who's interested.

For a primer, check out this short doc by @DoNotResistFilm put out by @fieldofvision in 2017

And for a deeper dive, listen to the @bastardspod episode on Grossman. I'll be referencing research from the host @IwriteOK in several of these tweets.
