Imagine if we had one of those 'limited government' concepts in place. Before the first patient with this horrible illness was diagnosis, thousands if not tens of thousands could have been infected. But thanks to big government, we had the tools, systems, and people in place to keep the population safe from this threat. That is something always absent from 'limited government' literature of their advocates: handling disasters.

They would have their fears stroked....anyways....by conservative media. And we know this since 40% of their reporting is fear based on a wide variety of topics (another 50% are lies and 10% are actual facts/information). The reality is, the US Military, the CDC, FBI and many other organizations have thought on this stuff in the past and placed people, equipment, and processes in place to mitigate the chances it could be successful. While it can happen, it wont happen to quite the level conservative media will paint to its audience over the next few weeks/months/years.

Yeah! Are you actually claiming that conservative media gives a whopping 10% of honest-to-goodness facts? I'll need to see your papers, please.

Are you going to back up those numbers, or are you just making shit up again?

I was curious if someone would call me on it

One that has graphs of the actual source information.

The second source comes from a news publication. I'm honestly not sure if the site is a good source of information. It gives an opinion base upon its views on events. I'm sure I could find other news outlets that give different numbers. So, for purposes of 'answering the question', this second sources shows FOX News lies the most often. FOX News doesn't report accurate (read: lies often) on matters of scientific study/research. Granted, Another Study, showed FOX News viewers were the least informed of all the news outlets.

As much as you might like to hate on 'Media Matters', they do seem to do a decent job in researching the information to explain how FOX News got the information wrong. That there are thousands of not a few tens of thousands of pieces should show the casual observe that FOX News is not known for being 'fair and honest' towards its viewers. That being the GOP/TP mouthpiece is not a good thing for a society like ours.

I looked at both links and while they both claimed fox was mostly false, false or pants on fire 60% of the time. Your claim was they were based on fear 40%, false 50% and actually factual only 10% so sorry but they don't back up shit. But it was a good try.

Except that they sent the Ebola patient home.

The doctors made a critical failure in handling the issue. That information was either not given or known to arrive at a better outcome. You might find this hard to believe, but information on each patient is given over to the regional hospitals in America. And that information is handed to the CDC for analysis. There is a whole logistics system in place that is fairly complex to explain here in exact terms. The basics is to prevent such deadly outbreaks in the country. And there are quite a few talented individuals that work hard to keep the American public safe.

Even before the story broke the news, the US Government was already in the process of tracking down all the possible individuals and evaluate their health condition. You never seem to give the US Government much credit when it does a good job.
