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

“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

Here’s how NBC News might cover that today:

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.
