Wow.
That dopey “fish tank cleaner” story from NBC’s Heidi Przybyla was so bad even #Resistance doc Eugene Gu dunked on her:
I thought they took chloroquine the medication and didn’t know it was fish tank cleaner until the very end of the thread, which is a huge difference in the framing of the story.

He was responding to this thread we told you about yesterday:
?Her husband is dead & she's in the ICU after ingesting chloroquine:
"We saw Trump on TV — every channel — & all of his buddies and that this was safe," she said.
"Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure."She implored @VaughnHillyard: "Educate the people" https://t.co/Vl94tIZcdw

He is even questioning if her omission at the beginning of the thread was intentional or not:
Like I don’t know if that was intentional or not, but I appreciate accurate news that is geared to inform and not just to generate clicks and views—especially in the current age of misinformation.

Narrator voice: IT WAS INTENTIONAL.
