Iowahawk takes NBC News to the woodshed over the network's latest publication of CCP propaganda

Here we go again. . .

NBC News has the latest totally believable news out of China on coronavirus deaths, as in, there were none:

U.S. reports 1,264 coronavirus deaths in over 24 hours.

Meanwhile in China, where the pandemic broke out, not a single new coronavirus death was reported. https://t.co/ooXkR9X2L5

Will they ever learn?

The Chinese Communist Party, which relies heavily on information control to maintain power, has reported a miraculous zero new coronavirus deaths & NBC is running with that. Brilliant. https://t.co/4LdSoRtq6e

Hopefully they used protection:

Pretty sure what you’re doing to China violates social distancing rules. https://t.co/1uR21UgxNA

“Take a bow,” NBC News:

China is shown to have lied the entire time about coronavirus and NBC news still runs with their story as a way to make us look worse.

Take a bow. https://t.co/3DKWFSK5yM

They really are failing us right now:

I go back and forth between wanting to support the existing journalistic set-up and then seeing this. https://t.co/DQlrgFUhtR

And here’s Iowahawk with his signature brand of humor taking NBC to the woodshed over it.

“Fun fact: China also never reported a single death at Tiananmen Square”:

Keep zinging:

A willing suspension of disbelieve is an astonishing thing to behold

And this is how bad it’s gotten:

Oh, and a pro-tip? DO NOT respond with CCP propaganda. It will not end well:

Ouch.
