The media scares you for everything. If you watch NEWS4 or whatever in you're area they always do things like "is eating burnt toast giving you cancer? Find out tonight at 8PM" - You don't want cancer right? You tune in. Can we all agree that's conflated reporting?

I work in news media for a television network, for the internet EVERYTHING is for a click. I need you to be aware of this. I know the media because I work for the media. Scare tactics are real.

Now imagine a pandemic, the one we're in. A lot of people here have brought up great points about how we've learned so much about the pandemic in the last few months. A lot of the things are GOOD news.

Now take CNN for example. They are anti-trump. Meaning ANYTHING Trump says is a lie. I don't like Trump nor do I support his policies. I also think him and his cohort are doing the whole "DONT INFRINGE ON MY RIGHTS AS AN AMERICAN" bullshit and aren't aware of any data, just going off feeling...

Now, since Trump is going against a lot of the mandates (for the wrong reasons) can you imagine CNN ever coming out with a story that data might support something he aligns with (even if the reasoning is stupid). Nope, never never never. So we go down a deeper hole to prove him wrong.

This has been true for YEARS AND YEARS since the news has been politicized rather than just reporting on the facts.

To bring it back around, scare tactics aren't new, they're embedded in ways to get tune-in numbers. Tune-in numbers contribute to their ad dollars and what keeps their shows on air
