USS Theodore Roosevelt

[Leongsam]

WASHINGTON – The Navy fired the captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt on Thursday, four days after he pleaded for help as the coronavirus ravaged his crew, the Navy announced.

Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly announced that Navy Capt. Brett Crozier was relieved for loss of confidence.

"I just know that he exercised extremely poor judgment," Modly said.

Crozier had sent an urgent letter to the U.S. Navy on Sunday, seeking to evacuate and isolate the crew as cases of coronavirus infection increased on the vessel. "Decisive action" was required to prevent deaths from the coronavirus, Crozier wrote. The ship's close quarters prevented sailors from following guidelines to keep them safe.

Modly said Thursday that the Navy had been speeding help to the Roosevelt before Crozier had sent his letter.

Democrats who lead the House Armed Services committee blasted Modly for firing Crozier. The lawmakers acknowledged Crozier improperly went outside the chain of command in releasing his letter, but they called his dismissal an overreaction.

This is the sort of dishonesty we are up against. It's truly scary. I am running out of sources of just plain trusted news. It seems there is no organisation that can be relied upon in this day age.

WHO is under the control of China. CDC is no better but I'm not sure who is pulling the strings. Fox is too far right. The liberal press is tarnished forever.

I've ended up trying to unearth data from random sources and then piecing the info together so that it makes sense.

The way I see it there needs to be a college of journalists.

Some sort of self policing body.

And you need to be licensed to be a journalist for actual main stream media.

All those unlicensed ones can go work in social media.

The line between social and mainstream has become total gone now.

Forming such a body is easy. Keeping it neutral would be next to impossible. All it takes is $$$.
