i think these protests mixed with corona show the hackery of american media and who the real favor lies with in the system, theyre actually posting articles rn saying that protests didnt increase corona when the data they cite shows spikes in that time frame in those areas and despite the protests being several thousand times more egregious than right wing gatherings and lone beach goers, theyre posting articles actually blaming fox news for corona spread
Well, two things can be true at once - the protests are going to lead to byfar the largest and most concentrated spread of the coof, but retards who refuse to put a mask on for 5 minutes when they go shopping for their wheat bran and diabetes medicine also aren't helping. But it is true that the latter one is getting all of the attention
but how long do you think the cognitive bias can last? that "study" getting spouted around is suggesting that the curfew and protests "may have kept people in" and thus is trying to... subtract them? from the numbers the protests are clearly bringing in. That's their defense. That's what they shit out in support of this thing. How retarded and short-sighted do you have to be to believe nonsense like that?
Most people aren't buying it, but they're keeping their heads down - so of course, the only people you hear calling it out are the ones whose income won't vanish if they call it out. So most of what you hear are morons saying things they haven't in the slightest, slightest bit considered
I also don't even know if it's just, like, american media. It's -all- mainstream media, all 'big' media, all 'objective' media. You can roll over to something that has a clear spin and admits its own biased position - even shit like MSNBC, like Jacobin, like New Yorker - and you'll find a more clear representation of the truth there. It's skewed, sure, but you -know- to expect it and they don't hide it. These 'objective' sources have taken it upon themselves to completely fucking lie to you and assume you're too dumb to tell otherwise and too lazy to look away - and for a whole lot of people, they're right
for all the conspiracy mongering and what elements seem correct to it, let's not overlook that the vast majority of the country is composed of coddled idiots unworthy of the opportunities they've been given, crying and mewling and bitching and whining resentfully at the heels of the people who've decided to take chances and grind. Doesn't matter if you flush the entire media establishment down the drain - the soil's garbage
