Can you believe this tweet from Rachel Maddow is STILL up?
"Patients overdosing on ivermectin backing up rural Oklahoma hospitals, ambulances"
"'The scariest one I’ve heard of and seen is people coming in with vision loss,' he said."https://t.co/P909GtxBQZ

Well, it is, but maybe not for long as even libs are calling her out over it now. From The New Republic on this whole hoax story:
A dubiously sourced account that confirmed many liberals' assumptions about rural Americans taking horse medicine was too good to check, @alex_shephard writes. https://t.co/xNTy9ltAkg

And, “Bulls*it detectors should have been screeching with alarm”:

Maddow “has essentially suggested there’s nothing to correct on her show’s initial reporting on ivermectin overdoses clogging the ER of an Oklahoma hospital, since one Oklahoma hospital has treated patients for ivermectin use”:

They went on to call this a “reminder that fake news is hardly limited to the right”:
There’s no doubt that false news about the use of dewormer medicine is less egregious than spreading lies about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. But it’s a reminder that fake news is hardly limited to the right. https://t.co/fzfKmdqIfC

Yeah. About that “fake news is hardly limited to the right” charge:
Rachel's Maddow's latest behavior is so deranged that it forced @newrepublic to finally admit — after 5 years of insane Russia conspiracies spread throughout the liberal press — that "that fake news is hardly limited to the right."
You don't say.https://t.co/GNeeHs9QQ3

And “this is wy people don’t trust the media”:
This is why people don’t trust the media – when press figures not only make mistakes but think they’re above fixing them: https://t.co/uvMYjBxl5z pic.twitter.com/QH0Kzj83dK
