DNR - A new use for a medical acronym

 In medical situations, DNR is short for do-not-resuscitate.  In this Wild West World of 2020, we have found it useful to repurpose it as a trumpet call for some our Checks and Balances efforts.

 

For example when dealing with a video clip of a known serial liar we could let DNR stand for Do Not Rebroadcast!  or Do Not Replay Because every time that happens, there's a strong chance that the rebroadcast will amplify more lies and spread them wider and faster.

When someone has tweeted or retweeted what you know to be a proven false conspiracy theory, DNR could simply mean Do Not Retweet! 

DNR could also stand for Do Not Reamplify, Do Not Repeat, Do Not Release your hold on that live mic, or Do Not Rope-a-dope yourself.

Even the common medical use of DNR makes sense in today's political climate as each rebroadcast or retweet provides extra oxygen to those who wish to misinform, disinform, distract, etc. which is exactly what they want.   

We urge all to heed the DNR call and Do Not Relent.

We will likely revisit this idea in future posts.
