WorldMaskWeek: All the Benefits of Wearing a Mask and How You Can Get Involved
Wearing a mask when out and about in public spaces, especially in places where social distancing is not practical, has been scientifically proven to save lives. If we’re going to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and achieve the United Nations' Global Goal 3 for good health and well-being for all, we need world leaders to step up and offer clear guidance on the ways the public can help protect its most vulnerable citizens. Join us to find out more about World Mask Week and take action here.

‘Sobering’ report shows hardening attitudes against media
NEW YORK (AP) — The distrust many Americans feel toward the news media, caught up like much of the nation’s problems in the partisan divide, only seems to be getting worse.
That was the conclusion of a “sobering” study of attitudes toward the press conducted by Knight Foundation and Gallup and released Tuesday.
Nearly half of all Americans describe the news media as “very biased,” the survey found.
“That’s a bad thing for democracy,” said John Sands, director of learning and impact at the Knight Foundation. “Our concern is that when half of Americans have some sort of doubt about the veracity of the news they consume, it’s going to be impossible for our democracy to function.”

Eight percent of respondents — the preponderance of them politically conservative — think that news media that they distrust are trying to ruin the country.

The study was conducted before the coronavirus lockdown and nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd.
Eight percent of respondents — the preponderance of them politically conservative — think that news media that they distrust are trying to ruin the country.
The study found that 71% of Republicans have a “very” or “somewhat” unfavorable opinion of the news media, while 22% of Democrats feel the same way. Switch it around, and 54% of Democrats have a very favorable view of the media, and only 13% of Republicans feel the same way.
That divide has been documented before but only seems to be deepening, particularly among conservatives, Sands said.
“We’re starting to see more retrenchment among those who have already expressed deep concerns,” he said. “Moving the dial on these attitudes becomes more and more difficult for media organizations.”
The study doesn’t attempt to assign blame for these attitudes. President Donald Trump has constantly labeled journalism he doesn’t like “fake news.” Cable news networks Fox News Channel, MSNBC and CNN feature evening opinion shows that are an increasingly popular pasttime for viewers.
Who is to blame for the nation’s political divide? Well, 48% of those questioned says the media bears a great deal of the responsibility.
The study found 73% of Americans feel that too much bias in news reports is a major problem, up from 65% two years ago.
Those surveyed also didn’t believe much in honest mistakes. When there were inaccuracies in articles, 54% of Americans said they believed reporters misrepresented facts, while 28% said reporters were making things up in their entirety.
The picture isn’t much prettier when you take a step back. Knight and Gallup said 41% of Americans have a great deal of confidence in the ability of the media to report the news fairly, down from 55% in a similar survey in 1999.

Eight in 10 Americans are calling for more diversity in news. Democrats and Black people are more likely to be referring to racial and ethnic diversity; while Republicans and white people prioritize diversity in political views.
In a clear message to Facebook and Twitter, nearly three-quarters of those surveyed said social media companies have to work harder to remove hateful language and inaccuracies from their platforms.
Knight and Gallup conducted a random sample of 20,046 American adults between Nov. 8, 2019 and Feb. 16, 2020, and claimed a margin of error of plus or minus 1%.
There has been discussions here about voter fraud... here's an article from the Heritage Foundation on that subject. Please find your state on the enclosed map and take a look at the cases from your state:
Voter Fraud Map: Election Fraud Database | The Heritage Foundation
MAIL-IN ballots will be a big problem in the upcoming election cycle, due to the fact that mail-in (not absentee ballots) DO NOT require a signature verification (unlike absentee ballots).
So why under the guise of the 'plandemic' are the dimwits pushing for mail-in voting? Because they KNOW they can pull the fraud over the eyes of the American Citizenry, blame Trump for not supporting it, and get their way.
Even QidProJoe says when ( LOL not if ) he gets elected he will make it legal for mail-in ballots and even include illegal immigrants and currently jail FELONS in the voting ranks.
IF you look at the U.S. Constitution it says Illegals and felons have NO RIGHT to vote ( among other thins like owning a gun... ) This attempt is to pervert our Constitution and our way of life, for we all know WHERE this is leading to... SOCIALISM!
Obama pushed for it... AOC Tallib Sanders Omar Pressley .. Biden says it's a good thing.
IF you like your life here in America you know what you must do to prevent this scourge from invading the USA anymore than it already has.
VOTE RED across the board on Nov 3rd!
