I stopped reading MacLean's years ago.
But I have a friend who sends me links to articles from time to time and he recently forwarded me one by Phillippe J. Fournier. Read it here.
It was quite the travesty and typical tripe we've seen since 2016 in the age of TDS.
No, I see no evidence Americans are under estimating it any more Canadians are. The polls he attaches mean absolutely nothing for a number of reasons.
First, the total number of cases means nothing on its own.
Second, there's a sly attempt to portray Republicans as anti-science yokels. Yet, it's Democrats that tend to believe in all kinds of junk science particularly when it comes to climate change.
Maybe the reason why Republicans don't see it as a 'major threat' is because they're interpreting the data differently and with more skepticism. I know I am. It doesn't mean there's a 'don't worry' posture here. All it can be saying is let the date come in - and we're still maybe a week or two away.
Conservatives are not as apt to panic as progressives are. The media wants people to panic. And when you don't panic, they deem you to be ignorant for not bowing to their demands.
After all, ultimately, conservatives in general do leave it in God's hands which brings a sense of calm and serenity. Progressives, as hyper-secularists, have abandoned God and have replaced him with the state. So, naturally any time something like this happens, they're going to abide by appeals to authority from humans.
Just my impression.
But this can be open to debate.
What's not open to debate and completely unacceptable is Fournier's (and his editor) lazy assertion that Trump said it was a 'hoax'. He didn't do that.
Here's a list of lies made by the press against Trump by PJ Media.
Honestly, a simple google search would have suffice. Why pimp this myth if nothing but to bash Trump for its own sake? This is an example of fake new.
It's worth noting the Surgeon-General expressed concern with the reporting during the pandemic.
It's the same with 'kids in cages' and 'they're good people on both sides'. The former one that existed with a previous administration and the latter loses its faux-outrage appeal once read in full and proper context. Yet, they keep pimping these lies like whores misleading people.
Something tells me MacLean's won't be considering the CDC's own role in this. In any event, perhaps we should all wait for all this to pass. We're blowing information out of our asses based on unreliable raw data extrapolating and making wild assertions to their extreme ends.
It's worth noting, there was severe criticism of Obama's handling of H1N1 too. He also at first downplayed it. These things are not easy for Presidents to deal with so I do cut them slack here. Same with natural catastrophes. Bush got criticized for Katrina but in reality that problem was a result of corruption and neglect at the state level. But when shit hit the fan he was left holding the bag. Obama completely botched Sandy - the rebuilding took years - but somehow escaped the same level of vitriol and criticism.
Of course, MacLean's doesn't make it easy to contact their writers or even have a comments section.
Their word must be the last.
Maybe Fournier and MacLean's should focus on the incompetent buffoons running Canada (with the exception of Quebec and other provinces) and their complete mishandling of this once again putting ideology above the safety of Canadians.
If Trump is bad, how can we describe the infantile actions of a Prime Minister who has shown himself to not be a leader?
Clean your own damn room MacLean's.
More on fake news.
