Jamie Sarkonak: The CBC's anti-Trump bias distorts Tylenol reporting

When scientists first raised the possibility of an autism link, CBC covered it without issue. Now that Trump's involved, it's a problem

The difference is indeed very stark.

The ongoing studies and coverage thereof are in response to scientific analysis of the case. That is quite normal, healthy, and ultimately leads to more informed outcomes. It is important for ideas to compete with each other, and in times past, it was considered to be a good thing to be able to see competing conclusions / outcomes play out publicly and transparently.

That is very different from the putative "leader of the free world" making a pronouncement that "don't take Tylenol". There is no transparency, no competition, no discussion. Just an edict.

Teddy Roosevelt spoke of the bully pulpit. He was using the word bully in its then vernacular sense - as in good or strong. He did not mean he had a pulpit from which to bully.

So it's not just CBC. Seems American media is doing the same.

I guess it's anti-Trump as opposed to anti-science.

Trump's announcement was so full of misinformation and is causing issues with his advisers.

Trump’s Tylenol diatribe was rooted in frustration

So the CBC reported scientific research backed by over 100 scientist several year back. Makes sense to me.

I would have no issue with Trump sharing the latest medical research with us if done properly. For example, if the head of the U.S. health department brought in the scientist who presented the latest research, this to me seems completely appropriate and worth checking out.

That's not what happened here.... In this case, Trump made this "announcement" at Charlie Kirk's funeral, and backed it up with nothing.

Trump also said he doesn't want what's best for his "enemies" at this thing, whatever that means. Does it mean he hates about half of his own countries citizens? Who knows. He says a lot of things!

I suppose stay tuned to future funeral speeches from guys mourning dead friends for ground breaking medical research I guess...

Of course it is normal for ideas to compete, but the Covid years demonstrated that fundamental principle of science is only useful when its useful to the governing class.

As to your comment about a pronouncement, Trump said "don't take" when pregnant. By skipping the pregnant part you ignore details that change the context entirely.

The issue is that there are health risks with acetaminophen use not commonly known, for example Tylenol has always been characterized as a safe drug. I was not aware of its role as the #1 cause of liver damage until now. The Trump administration has recently raised the issue and the opposition are falling all over themselves to turn this into something it isn't.

Fortunately there are plenty of receipts on the internet and the "fact checkers" look like fools once again.
 
Perhaps there are other things this administration would rather talk about than Jeffrey Epstein.

Read this last month,

President Donald Trump has long been a practitioner of distraction tactics during unflattering news cycles. But with the president looking to move on from the spiraling Jeffrey Epstein crisis, his flood-the-zone approach with endless posts has taken the familiar deflection playbook to a new extreme.

By distraction, do you mean him going to Fort Knox to confirm if all the gold is actually there? Whatever happen to that initiative? Died a quiet death didn't it?

Trump was making a speech at his friends funeral and went off course (As he often does) by announcing a cure for autism, which he then claimed can be cured by just no longer taking "Tylenol" (Acetaminophen) during pregnancy.

If I understand this correctly, you don't see what the big deal is or why the media might have criticized him for what he said?

Do you honestly believe they just cured autism as Trump claimed at the funeral? I'm being serious, as I honestly can't tell if you think this "cure" for autism is genuine. I assume you do think this is a real thing?

This part of the speech isn't even mentioned on the whitehouse.gov "highlights" from Trump's speech at the Charlie Kirk funeral:

www.whitehouse.gov

President Trump Joins Nation in Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Enduring Legacy

Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, key Administration officials gathered with tens of thousands of other American Patriots at
www.whitehouse.gov www.whitehouse.gov

You would think if Trump announced a real cure to autism, it might be considered a highlight from his speech, no?

Seems like even the Whitehouse run under his own administration knows how ridiculous it was, not even worthy of a mention!

To be scrupulously fair to the info-machine, I suspect they have very little room for discretion re: choosing what’s “important” or “key”. Like any other political info-machine.

What would be MORE interesting would be to see the script he was given to compare with a transcript of the speech ;)
www.rev.com

Donald Trump Charlie Kirk Memorial Service | Rev

Donald Trump delivers remarks at the Charlie Kirk memorial service in Arizona. Read the transcript here.

That’s why most speech texts include the phrase “check against delivery” - polite-speak for “gotta listen for anything the speaker spit balls” :)

It's bait. All those GOFOs in one spot. They are hoping it will be too tempting a target, and will cause militant members of Antifa and/or the pro-Palestine crowd to start planning a major attack which the FBI/CIA are prepared and watching for.

I could do this all day...

He's going to ask them all to swear a new oath of fealty to the President instead of the constitution. Anyone who refuses will immediately be sacked.

It’s merely a matter of time until Trump will require an oath of loyalty to him and not the Constitution.

Guess what they will be signing with their NDA as they walk through the door into the conference.

I have to wonder how many GOFOs will balk at this and pull the pin if this in fact happens.
It’s all speculation now.
 
People who hate Trump should work on being less easy to manipulate.

Trump went on TV and said that shit about Tylenol. Minutes later women, including pregnant ones, were recording themselves popping Tylenol to spite Trump.

Imagine of Trump tells Americans not to play in traffic or jump.off a bridge? Mass cass everywhere.

Honestly I don’t think anything strategically or operationally massive enough to necessitate a gathering of the clans like this wouldn’t have immediately leaked. Plus there’s likely a pretty hard limit on how much they could talk about in any space that will be large enough to hold this many. I’m not giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Man no kidding. And the sheer disruption of having all those bosses gone for the (un)necessary travel time.

On the bright side maybe any of those generals who do the same thing will see how annoying it is and cut it out.
