I know where the meat comes from. I know this guy called Mitch, and he doesn't need it anymore...

The media is complicit. If they're questioning him at all it's to distract from something else.

100%.

They're the ones determining what topics people should feel outraged about each day and it's never the right ones. They also set the tone for how each topic should be covered and what lens the sheep are supposed to view it through.

While I absolutely agree we deserve the truth about McConnel, didease-ridden mystery meat is far more likely to have an immediate impact on the lives of everyday Americans

I think conning voters is just as relevant and likely to cause problems as dodgy meat. I can avoid meat products. I can’t stop politicians doing shady stuff if we don’t all pay attention together.

I completely agree. I'm just saying the insidious follow on effects to conning voters (while more serious and dangerous) are less tangible to average Americans than knowing whether to avoid meat or not, from where, and what the consequences of getting it wrong are. I'm slightly more concerned over whether my lasagna for dinner tonight is going to put me in the hospital than the GOP continuing to lie to the American people. The real answer is the 24hr media cycle absolutely has time to cover both topics in depth, and they should be doing so. The role of the media is to help hold those in power accountable, and we're seeing a historic failure of that right now.

I'm beginning to think there is no meat issue and all this is to spread FUD and what not, smoke and mirrors for something else. Plus it can drive prices up further. Who am I kidding it's probably all of the above.

Argentina? This is an article from last March, validating the Chinese beef rejection due to antibiotic contamination..

https://en.clickpetroleoegas.com.br/china-rejected-an-entire-shipment-of-beef-from-argentina-after-detecting-an-antibiotic-so-dangerous-that-it-has-been-banned-for-human-consum-btl96/

Now it's not a large shipment by any standard, but Argentina may be the source of Trump's mystery meat.

If the producers there have more rejected shipments to move, Trump is exactly the kind of amoral son of a whore who'd make a deal to buy it and fob it off onto his idiot followers. Just so "Mr. Popularity" can get his numbers up before the mid-terms.

Yeah, he'd risk the health of others for a cheap political boost..

Not a problem.

Not at all.

Maybe a few more people will realize they don't need to eat meat now.

This would be a perfectly valid point if the vegetables weren't also making people shit themselves to death. I miss having safe food.

If it's any consolation, the last restaurant I went to had impossible meat cheaper than the real thing.

The US media is exclusively lying about the Canada tariffs by trying to both-sides the Shite House’s insane talking points.

US media is dead.

US media would rather have given an empty podium air time then give Bernie Sanders airtime. It's been dead for a long time.

...or probably the Epstein files. Not US-ian, so cannot confirm, but given the state of things my assumption makes sense.

Though... even the vegans are getting fucked hard with the deregulation of food industries. (Local/homegrown veggies aren't an option for everyone)

Annoyingly those recalls are still mostly because of animal agriculture. Mostly diseases from manure and/or leaked manure from nearby animal farms
