Sorry Ron, I was being challenged heavily for using Zerohedge for numbers and speculation regarding coronavirus. Nearly everything I found on there was later confirmed on other outlets... and speculation is not the same as fake news...

Ron,
This is not clearly political! Not one side was mentioned (Republican vs Democrat.) If you are going to do this you'll have to delete all the subs that are not audio related.
Respectfully, I consider arguing about whether or not CNN disseminates "fake news" and fencing about which news sites are politically biased and which are not, and what their alleged biases are, etc., to be political. Mentioning "Republican" or "Democrat" (or "Hillary" or "Trump") is not a necessary condition for something to be impermissibly political on WBF.
We have many forums and subforums which are not audio-related and yet are not political (e.g., sports, pets, coffee, cars, home theater, etc.).

It is clear that whoever is “Tyler Durden” he/she is combing the net and posting stories from a lot of sources. Some even mainstream.
Ron, with all due respect, you are the only person in this thread (plus Tom) bringing politics.
Different news outlets reporting on Coronavirus have zero to do with politics.

I agree; the Coronavirus news are taken from other sources and reprinted in Zero Hedge.
All news do that, it's normal.

Bob, the posts on the thread wandered far afield from "different news outlets reporting on Coronavirus."
The arguing was about media outlets and fake news and political bias, and devolved rapidly, including down to cursing.
Bob, I totally respect your opinion, and your right to disagree with me.
Please respect my opinion that arguing about whether or not CNN and other news sources are politically biased, and whether or not they make up fake news, is "political" for the purpose of our WBF ban on political discussion.

This is not how journalism works. And this is not what a byline is. All of there articles say "by Tyler Durden."
Tyler's an idiot, Vaccinations work.
So now there is a fixed way journalism is “supposed “ to work? A bit rigid from you... There is many times a SECOND byline where it says Authored by. His byline is more like he is saying “introduced by”. He is not claiming authorship on most articles. He is not violating any journalistic rules as far as I can see.
I agree vaccinations work...so what?
Of course he's violating basic journalistic rules and norms.
Any person with a science background would write off a site that promotes anti-science articles in mass. Anti-Vax and anti-climate change propaganda litter that site.
Honestly, i find it surprising that you are so vigorously defending it.
Well, I am also a skeptic regarding global warming (at least that the warming seen is primarily manmade) even though I got my Ph.D in environmental analytical chemistry, so what do I know...
As to the anti-science articles...care to link a few?

Which obviously makes you an expert on climate. Sheesh.
(Comment by a Ph.D. in biochemistry.)
I studied it extensively in graduate school and understand very well the technical arguments (including rather esoteric topics like climate forcing of aerosols, my area of speciality) ...something not well understood by 99% of the people talking about it. So, you can keep your Sheesh for yourself but it doesn't apply to me on this topic... Coronavirus? I know nothing about its pathology or biochemistry...I will leave that to you
A climate change skeptic? No wonder you like Zerohedge.Well, I am also a skeptic regarding global warming (at least that the warming seen is primarily manmade) even though I got my Ph.D in environmental analytical chemistry, so what do I know...

Good bye.
As I said, I like many sites...zerohedge is just one of many...I also read NOAA and NASA sites among others for information...
I understand the seriousness of this subject, global health.
But we are pretty safe here in North America, South America and the European countries and Alaska and Hawaii and Cuba and the Dominican Republic, and etc.
The worst nightmare is in some China's regions. And of course in containment.
What's happening in China is our health concern in the world, not just to/in China.
It's important for all the countries to work together and we clearly see that here.
This doesn't look like any ordinary virus, or nobody would hear about it. It wouldn't affect the most light feather flying around.
The main thing is quarantine and find a vaccine. I just don't know how long it would take; trying to predict that is like trying to predict best picture @ the Oscars.
Sure I've read that it could take a year or more.
I am concerned with my audio system, with my music preferences, with my health, my wealth, the air I breathe (inhalation), the water I drink, the food I eat, the cars I drive, the color of my grass, the mountains around, the oceans, the wildlife, the forests, my tubes, my suspension, my elevation, my exhilaration, my family, my children, my parents, my friends, the world around and @ large.
This Coronavirus is no joke; it opens our eyes in what could be envisioned on a large scale.
The scientist community you can make sure they are monitoring it closely.
I had friends coming back from vacations and telling me that the airports are scanning people and some wearing masks. This is no joke, living in a world wearing masks. That should tell us something here ...
Right now like I said we are feeling pretty safe here in our music hi-fi stereo listening rooms.
And for many that's where the vision stops. And for the best too.
If you have a friend or relative who visited some parts of China recently, wish them good health for your own good health...invite them for dîner and have a friendly intelligent open discussion on the state of global health.
