M-Pox / Monkey Pox warning

[argonsagas]

The M-Pox/Monkey Pox virus has been around for a long time, but only made international news a year ago.
It seemed to have gone quiet in recent months as there was not much said about it, but today's news, shows it is not only quite active, it has graduated in effects to become "necrotizing" and is capable if killing those with weakened immune systems.

One of these days, I swear I'm gonna teach you how to copy and paste a link.

I tried the link before posting it and did so again just now: It worked perfectly, both times...

Here is another one:

I've run into this before ..... For some { as of yet unknown } reason CBC sometimes will not allow their news content to be viewed outside Kanada .... I have no idea why ......

Well there goes "spanking your monkey".

If you want an insight into CBC run the French and English site URLs on a traffic stats website. The CBC is *@%^$*@%^$*@%^$*@%^$.

The decline of CBCs popularity as the nations broadcaster is in part related to its morphing from news site to information wing of the Liberal party.

Oh Gawd ! ....Examples backing up your claim would be nice ......

Yeah, I'd love to see that too....lol

That's because there is nothing to back his claim . It's the old .... " If you report a bad thing by one party it must mean you favour the other party " .....

The last time CBC's upper management was changed was under Harper ..... There was much concern that slanting the news was what Harper was up to { including me at the time } ....But if that were his aim it didn't work out that way as upper management didn't get involved with reporting or editorial .... Nothing changed and nobody got fired when the Liberals took power again.....

I am most familiar with the CBC News channel which I watch regularly ....There are only two editorial shows on the channel . Rosemary Barton Live and Power and Politics ..... Rosemary Barton reports the politics but leaves the opinions to who she is interviewing ..... As a regular watcher of her show I have never been able to figure out on which side of the political spectrum she favours ..... { Though I'm pretty sure she hates Putin's guts } ..... Power and Politics takes an issue and has a panel of pundits from both political factions } thrashing out the issue { NDP, GREEN, and BLOC pundits are added when the story suits } ...... Currently the stories under discussion are the Liberal Chinese spy MP and the Tories that met with that right wing extremist German politician { and a couple of Quebec issues that I was only half listening to } ..... In the case of the Chinese spy story even the Liberal pundits are roasting the party .....

What is this T.V. you speak of? I hear you must have permits and pay tax for it too, yet it cannot be ridden around!

Hmmm......a keen observation, and accurate,

but

I must admit to frequenting their website ............... as you can see in the original post.

Maybe it's just his opinion? Wouldn't be hard for me to believe, of course if they echoed my opinions I'd say they were fair and truthful LOL
