The Daily Beast

We have been living with the coronavirus for almost a year and most of us can agree it has been a difficult time. And as with many things, people react to the extreme-one side refuses to wear a mask, ignores safety precautions and declares it a hoax. The other side becomes "quarantine snobs" and hides in their pod of close friends and family, condemning and criticizing others who are trying to go about their normal lives while following CDC guidelines. The recent "Beast" story on the horrors of living with COVID in Florida is an almost embarrassing example of pandering to the latter and represents the worst kind of journalism. Not only is it fear mongering at its worst but the facts are extremely distorted. For example, assuming that the UK variant has run rampant in Florida alone, when this state (like some, and not like others) happens to keep track of the different types of variants. And only interviewing those who choose to remain in lockdown until the virus is completely eradicated. Journalism 101: There are two sides to every story. One might expect this type of coverage from sources famous for ignoring the other side of the story (Fox News' recent impeachment coverage comes to mind) but not a supposedly intelligent left-leaning publication. Stop plagiarizing Fox's playbook and use your own, one that looks at *all* the facts and tells *both* sides of story!

I'm so GD sick of this GD site crashing more and more and more for the last two years I'm thinking of canceling my Beast Inside subscription. I don't understand why they can't update their server to accommodate the traffic they get, my god is a site you have to pay to read. I'm paying. FIX IT. This same issue is why I quit reading Raw Story.

Tried over a 3 year period but there is nothing but right wing nonsense in this online paper.
There are so many independent unbiased non aligned web based papers, don't waste your time on the right wing garbage...

What hypocrisy that the Daily Beast promotes, if one were to search any item about Israel it would routinely ridicule Israel for defending itself but any item about anyone else say in a recent issue of the French using military force in Mali and the US helping out as well it's suddenly either neutral or a good thing.

Wow, what hypocrisy who the heck are you to tell what others can and can't do? Why should Israel be controlled? It's funny how the same people like to depict how there is a supposed Israeli Lobby controlling American politics when there is no such thing at all.

It is a lie crafted by the same kind of people.
