I, like a lot of humans, have been somewhat following the onslaught of Ebola news coverage during this most recent outbreak. I’ve tried to sort through the noise of the many hysterical or contrarian articles that dominate the news coverage.

My quest for unbiased information led me to this Bloomberg News article,“Beating Ebola Means Drinking, Last Thing Patient Wants to Do”.

The information seemed straight forward, explaining that patients lose over 40 liters of water causing severe dehydration. The recommendation was drinking water with hydration salts in addition to IV fluids.

Of course, the comments section helped me see right through this cleverly crafted propaganda.

What I Learned From the Comments

The article wasn’t just journalism: it was preparing the American public for the incoming Ebola epidemic.

2. The cure for Ebola was with congress all along.

3. Obama has been personally importing the disease.

4. Bloomberg News has been complicit in the cover-up.

5. Obama’s Ebola Emporium is just a plot to spend even more money on Africa.

6. Democrats will soon offer Ebola nationwide, you should ask a doctor if it’s right for you.

7. Healthcare was much better in the middle ages… thanks to Obamacare

8. Spreading Ebola is Obama’s latest weapon in his War on America, which is why he’s sent our troops to Africa.

9. Ebola was actually the product of a Democrat-Monkey sexcapade and it’s all this guy knows.

10. The California draught isn’t an unfortunate natural event, but part of a massive conspiracy.

What I Actually Learned From the Comments

I should never read the comments section.
