      If SeanHannityUte doesn’t like an article, the outlet is biased. If he likes it it is from a “non-partisan,” source.

      The author of that opinion piece is from The Hoover Institute at Stanford, a Conservative think tank.

        "Scott W. Atlas, MD, is the David and Joan Traitel Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and the former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center."

        Only a matter time of time before this became partisan, wasn't it.

        But this is an opinion piece, and any bias is as appropriate.

              Hoover Institute is a conservative think tank.

              You’ve been the one talking about media bias non-stop.

                  I understand the that this is happening and that doctors constantly deal with death and grim situations.

                            Russia on Wednesday praised India for sending medicines that are used to treat coronavirus patients and described the decision as 'noble'. It also said that this friendly gesture would.

                              This Yale expert says he had to go on Fox and Bill Maher to get his message out, though he’s 100% right, because our mainstream media is so corrupt.

                                Seattle's leaders believe in science... Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio don't:

                                Seattle’s Leaders Let Scientists Take the Lead. New York’s Did Not
                                [...]
                                In early March, as Dow Constantine was asking Microsoft to close its offices and putting scientists in front of news cameras, de Blasio and New York’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, were giving speeches that deëmphasized the risks of the pandemic, even as the city was announcing its first official cases. De Blasio initially voiced caution, saying that “no one should take the coronavirus situation lightly,” but soon told residents to keep helping the city’s economy. “Go on with your lives + get out on the town despite Coronavirus,” he tweeted on March 2nd—one day after the first covid-19 diagnosis in New York. He urged people to see a movie at Lincoln Center. On the day that Seattle schools closed, de Blasio said at a press conference that “if you are not sick, if you are not in the vulnerable category, you should be going about your life.” Cuomo, meanwhile, had told reporters that “we should relax.” He said that most infected people would recover with few problems, adding, “We don’t even think it’s going to be as bad as it was in other countries.”
                                [...]
                                The city’s epidemiologists were horrified by the comforting messages that de Blasio and Cuomo kept giving. Jeffrey Shaman, a disease modeller at Columbia, said, “All you had to do was look at the West Coast, and you knew it was coming for us. That’s why Seattle and San Francisco and Portland were shutting things down.” But New York “dithered instead of telling people to stay home.”
                                [...]
                                More than fifteen thousand people in New York are believed to have died from covid-19. Last week in Washington State, the estimate was fewer than seven hundred people. New Yorkers now hear constant ambulance sirens, which remind them of the invisible viral threat; residents are currently staying home at even higher rates than in Seattle. And de Blasio and Cuomo—even as they continue to squabble over, say, who gets to reopen schools—have become more forceful in their warnings. Rasmussen said, “It seems silly, but all these rules and sohcos and telling people again and again to wash their hands—they make a huge difference. That’s why we study it and teach it.” She continued, “It’s really easy, with the best of intentions, to say the wrong thing or send the wrong message. And then more people die.”
                                The initial coronavirus outbreaks on the East and West Coasts emerged at roughly the same time. But the danger was communicated very differently. 


                                All those people died because Drumpf wasn't impeached and removed from office, obviously:
