In Which Hinderaker Forgets That He Is Proof — That Fact Checkers, In Pandemics, Are… Life Savers, Literally.

Another short retort — as silly John Hinderaker has. stopped. making. sense.

A G A I N.

He hates that people with “credentials” — know more about science, bio-science in particular than him — and failed TV evangelist Jim Bakker, and the nut case Candace Owens.

His axe grinding recognizes that people with better educations and intellects tend to skew liberal. That’s because most facts… have a liberal bias. By that, I mean that usually the facts support… compassion and non-judgment.

So… when in early July 2020, John Hinderaker was openly lying and telling his largely silver-haired readership that this was a flu, and most of the dying was over (at 20,000, nationwide — to that moment)… his lies went on to KILL at least some of the 700,000 who died over the next two years — also, mostly people of advanced age.

Some of the dead had, undoubtedly… trusted him. [Some of those… probably were unaware, or only dimly aware… that he had gotten a C in freshman level Biology at Dartmouth — and that was 40 years ago (so whatever he picked up was mostly obsolete).]

So — John… he, who never apologized… John: will you now apologize? Will Jim Bakker? Will Candace Owens?!

At least a few dozen of the dead, might not be — if you hadn’t popped off about a pandemic in complete and utter self-interested falsehoods? [You just wanted to go back out to dinners — at your favorite Minneapolis high end restaurants, minus a mask. What a narcissistic — and (it turns out) lethal — tool.]

I know you won’t apologize. It’s not in your narcissist DNA — but you could at least thank the fact-checkers with MDs and PhDs — who shut you and Candace and Jim Bakker And Tangerine’s ass up.

Out.
