Yea, ok.

Totally agree with you. Make fun of my mask and gloves but yes, do not get in my face about it.



I saw the news12 video and only that. That guy had no business coming right at him and even when he asked him to stop getting close the guy kept saying no. Now was there any baiting or other stuff said and then edited out? Who knows. I'm just going based on what I saw and that guy without the mask going towards the reporter was in the wrong totally.

Hopefully when this is all over News12 can get back to those hard hitting in depth stories about a pancake breakfast at the Yaphank VFD.

Pancakes = #fakenews

Don't mention french toast, you might get shot.

I'm a closeted Trump voter, but I do not perceive any overt anti-Trump bias whenever I flip on News12. I'm sure they hate Trump, but they don't make it as obvious as other news outlets. It really is pancake news most of the time pre-COVID.

We are only around 6-7 months away from News 12 snow angels again!

Because the Trumpers flip the narrative to feel justified. News 12 did nothing exciting, wrong or interesting. Vesey showed up and by virtue of working for the "news" media, got attacked by bored, self-righteous schmucks. If the Mr Softee truck guy were wearing a News 12 hat, he'd have gotten attacked too, lol!! The "news" is that people continue to be surprised at finding out lily white, affluent LI is actually a redneck dump and this is how we routinely get presented to the rest of the world. No wonder they hate the news, it holds up a mirror and they don't like what they see. Nothing fake about it. If anything, the news is gentle! To both sets of extremist idiots.

I don't even understand the need to make fun of someone wearing a mask and gloves. Everyone should do as much, or as little, as they feel they need to do. I don't care if people wear hasmat suits. I just don't want them telling me *I* have to. Likewise, they shouldn't have to deal with me telling them they shouldn't.

Classic. If they "told" Americans they "had to" use toilet paper, they'd wipe their azzes with their fingers. Patriotism!!! #gettingtheconstitutionwrong #tpmilitia
