They manipulated the language so that as Juan could say, they weren\u2019t lying at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/13\/none-of-your-business-greg-gutfeld-brian-stelter-vaccination-selfie-criticism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gutfeld<\/a> went on to argue that the end result of the narrative \u2014 coming both from bureaucrats and media \u2014 was a nation that was effectively divided into two camps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemember, if you wear a mask, you are a patriot. But if you don\u2019t, you are a neanderthal. You probably are one of those extreme far right and far white trumpists,\u201d Gutfeld continued. \u201cIt was just another method, the mask was another political method to create some false polarization that helps, you know, anchors at CNN pay for their second mortgage. But\u00a0any time you were skeptical, any time you were skeptical about the science coming from people that were wrong and had lied about the masks, remember, they had lied legitimately about the masks so it wouldn\u2019t create a run on them \u2014 although it did create a run on toilet paper. But anytime you questioned the validity of people who have been wrong in the past, you are considered a dumbass, you are considered a rube, a redneck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/20\/excuse-me-greg-gutfeld-blows-up-ted-williams-suggesting-off-his-meds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gutfeld<\/a> then suggested that reporters should take classes in statistics, arguing that they repeatedly misreported anything having to do with numbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey misreport these stories from shark attacks to police brutality,\u201d he said. \u201cYou saw that story where liberals to the far left believe that 1,000 unarmed blacks were killed by police in one year when it was like 27 or something like that. They misreport that. They misreport shark attacks. Disease transmission. They don\u2019t understand numbers. And this is all based on of course the fact that they know better when they are incredibly ignorant. The average American who goes outside knows more about this than anybody in the media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld concluded by saying that someone needed to simply pick a date and issue a declaration: no more outdoor masks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if you accuse me of not being safe, I\u2019m going to throw a bucket of water on your head,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox News host Greg Gutfeld ripped into the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) during Tuesday\u2019s broadcast of \u201cThe Five.\u201dGutfeld slammed the CDC for exaggerating the risk of transmitting COVID-19 outdoors, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2277858,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-11-at-6.02.27-PM-e1620776656762.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"\u2018That\u2019s How Sleazy These People Were\u2019: Greg Gutfeld Rips The CDC For Technically True But Misleading Statistics","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-497662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-11-at-6.02.27-PM-e1620776656762.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"\u2018That\u2019s How Sleazy These People Were\u2019: Greg Gutfeld Rips The CDC For Technically True But Misleading Statistics","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=497662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/497662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2277858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=497662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=497662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=497662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
