Well you listed some networks who actually report news, and others who clearly post propaganda. Not even people who work at CNN believe they're a "news network". They're on air for 24 hours a day, and on a good day, they report maybe one hour of actual "news". The other 23 hours are spent with jobless "ex political advisors" giving opinions about how other people should feel about whatever "news" they've chosen to report on.

It's a coin. Fox News is heads. CNN is tails.
And the other three are hardly neutral either

Hahaha hell yea. I quit a lil somethin somethin also but have been drinking a bit too much to compensate. If you don’t mind me asking, how come you quit?
I ain’t been right, it changed my life for the better and helped me learn to self reflect and made me more pleasant to be around, but I kinda feel like at this point that’s just mostly become my nature, so I feel like I don’t need it anymore, but lately it hasn’t been good for me, it’s been a really rough year, best friend died, I’m the only income in my household, my kids and wife have been terribly sick nonstop since the first week of September, and it’s just not been helping, had me stuck in my head dwelling too much, was in my own little world of just negativity

1. Don’t call it a breakthrough infection lol, that’s a bullshit buzzword made to overhype the efficacy of the vaccines, the number of positives in vaccinated people give a large enough sample size to toss the term “breakthrough” right out the window

2. Yes, it limits the symptoms, that’s all it does, and that’s great, but it does not prevent contraction or transmission, other than limiting how much people cough the virus into the air.

3. The vaccine has essentially zero effect on omicron just like it had seriously reduced effectiveness on delta, the vaccine Deals with the spike protein, the spike protein is what has mutated, until the vaccine is changed and updated, it will be essentially useless against omicron. Even health professionals are saying this which is why concern is so high.

Also, it appears this strain is originating in Africa, maybe if the first world nations would stop hoarding vaccines and trying to force them into unwilling subjects when other nations are pleading for them, we wouldn’t be seeing omicron. But that’s nonsense really, covid is beyond the point of endemic and it’s a rapidly mutating virus and once it broke containment we lost all hope of “nipping it in the bud” and the only reason news networks try to convince you otherwise is because big money mfs need to make people feel warm and fuzzy about the future so they can get back to making money in as many ways as possible and re opening the world. That’s what the vaccine is being pushed for, peace of mind for the masses, but in reality it’s a personal choice that affects only the recipient. This isn’t smallpox or polio which had actual immunity granting vaccines, THOSE had breakthrough infections, the covid vaccine doesn’t have breakthroughs, it’s just that a vaccinated person was exposed and the virus and vaccine are both behaving as intended.

I am just really tired of seeing these crazy assumptions that players are unvaccinated just because they tested positive, and the incessant bashing of players who choose not to be experimental subjects.
I'm not having a debate with you or anybody else buddy. Let's just focus on the game we love and the team we love. Football and the Ravens. I was compelled to respond to the person that brought up CNN. It hit the fan inadvertently.

I guess now it's very good to research who our official is and I looked and it's Scott Novak, who was the head official in the 66 Yard Record Game against Detroit. I don't remember too many penalties that game, felt like they just let the players play. The Chargers-Bengals on the other hand got Shawn Hochuli and his ref crew that called 28 penalties in that Raiders-Cowboys last week.

You have to wonder, given the fact TJ played yesterday in the Bengals game and even sacked Burrow if something will come a rise in Cincy with COVID.
I mean I've yet to see a team be impacted by COVID spread from actually playing in the game. I.e. if a team has an "outbreak", we've yet to see that spread to other teams that they played previously.
I would say a lot of that is due to the high vaccination rates in general, because vaccinated players require minimal or no testing. It's entirely possible that there are vaccinated players who are positive with COVID playing football every week. In fact, statistically, it's likely it's happened a bunch of times. But it sort of falls in line with the general population, which is if its vaccinated people with COVID interacting with other vaccinated people with COVID, it's not really that big of an issue.

Happy that Sami is gone. Really don't care what the reason is.
I feel like he just reincarnated into that poster with the weird avatar that only shows up when we lose

Yeah man I’ve learned over the years if you just keep fighting the good fight and work to be a better person everyday, everything else will fall into place eventually. I got my family and we all got our health and livelihoods, that’s all I need to make it work
