Sanjay Gupta admits lies surrounding horse dewormer

Post Reply New Topic

That's the lie though, it wasn't "horse paste", even though many mainstream media organizations reported the story like it was. In fact, they all used the same talking points at about the same time, it almost looked coordinated.

Remember, this is the guy who hosted Fear Factor, and the Man Show in its final season.

Gupta seems to have missed asking Rogan, "Were you prescribed Ivermectin to treat COVID?"?

It seems so ..

But this means his doctor is quack or Rogan is lieing.

It might even be illegal for his doctor to do that.

Gupta should of further asked, "Since your doctor is doing this quackery/illegal activity, were you prescribed the horse (mega strength) version of the drug? Thinking it would be more effective in killing COVID"?

This is the type of disinformation that I love exposing via social media platforms because it proves my point all day long about corporate media and the garbage they peddle for dollars.

Rogan, of course, got savaged by corporate media for saying he used a medicine that has been declared a "veterinarian medicine" when it's clearly not. Ivermectin is a human medicine that has won a Pulitzer Prize for effectiveness in slowing down replication of human viruses.

If you blindly believe what the media says you are a tool.

One of CNN's political commentator's, Mary Katherine Ham, has spoken out against her employer and defended podcast presenter Joe Rogan who earlier this week accused the network of 'lying' about his use of ivermectin when he had coronavirus.

In a clip from Wednesday's The Joe Rogan Experience that went viral, Rogan grilled CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta about the broadcaster's coverage of his use of the drug after he was diagnosed with Covid-19, which he claims he recovered from in five days.

After a tense back-and-forth, Gupta eventually agreed that the anti-parasite drug, which was prescribed to Rogan by a doctor, should never have been described by CNN as a horse de-wormer.

The argument appeared to rumble on Friday when Ham tweeted in support of Rogan's accusation, branding the reporting 'horses***' - although she did not call out the network by name.

'Rogan is right that it's dishonest to say he took horse dewormer when he did not,' Ham tweeted.

'It was irresistible to dunk on him for a lot of people, so they went with that instead of sticking to 'hey, this anti-parasitic isn't recommended for COVID treatment,' which would've been credible.'

Ham continued as she responded to a follow up tweet by Federalist political editor John Daniel Davidson, who wrote: 'Well, it WAS recommended by Rogan's doctor, so that also wouldn't be credible. And it's not like Rogan's doc is the only one in the country recommending Ivermectin off-label. The MOST they could have said, credibly, is that the CDC doesn't recommend it.'

Ham responded: 'Agreed, I'm not looking to explicate the entire Ivermectin fight in one tweet. That was shorthand for a pronouncement that would have been more suitable than 'he's taking horse dewormer,' which is just straight, well, horses---.'

In response to a clip of Lemon talking with Gupta, Substack journalist Glenn Greenwald jumped to Rogan's defense, writing: 'There is zero ambiguity they lied about Joe Rogan.'

'They told viewers he took horse dewormer: a 100% lie. He took the human version of ivermectin prescribed by his medical doctor,' Greenwald tweeted out on Thursday. 'But as I said, lying is not frowned upon at CNN: it's encouraged.'

'It's true that ivermectin is not approved for treatment of COVID. That has nothing with the lie CNN told. They said Rogan took horse dewormer. He didn't. And CNN and Don Lemon are such little people, with so little integrity, they can't admit they lied,' he added angrily.

If you blindly believe what the media says you are a fool.

It would appear once again that presentation of facts takes a back seat to attacking CNN and perpetuating the myth of the "dangerous left wing media" cancelling free speech.

There has been plenty of discussion and information presented on Ivermectin. Nobody is pushing disinformation. I already stated that I misspoke in my initial post.

But here you are standing up for blatent disinformation from CNN. Truly pathetic!

My link is from Buzzfeed News, not certain whether that was a cause for confusion.

The problem is we are really up against it when digesting the information we receive. Official sources lie, and non-official sources lie. Being a total apologist for either is worrisome and foolish.

People who blindly believe everything/k they hear are fools and tools.

I'm a little confused where this thread is heading?
