The News Media

No other institution has failed the public worse. Which is pretty sad, considering the competition.

The media lied, people died. And this was driven purely by Trump derangement. If he said something might be useful, it couldn’t possibly be.

Great. It may be that the virus can spread through normal breathing. I don’t know; seems like it would be spreading much faster if that was the case. But we continue to suffer from a lack of data.

One thought on “The News Media”

  1. No one is likely to read this but if anyone does, look at this headline, “Memo: Some in US may not get stimulus checks until August” https://apnews.com/58fd3ecc3c35e191e04a880a849b8d63

    It isn’t until the 12th paragraph that they say who will get their checks last, “The checks will be issued in reverse order of adjusted gross income, meaning that people with the lowest income will get payments first.”

    The article is written to imply a chaotic distribution with those who need the money the most possibly not getting it. But if you rearrange the order in which information is given, write an accurate headline, and change the characterizations used by the author to be more accurate, reality is exactly the opposite of the slant of the article.
