Uh, our “media” has no literacy whatsoever. Same for its honesty and ability to reason. But, if one has trouble understanding basic concepts, finds math impossible, and thinks they can levitate by standing in a can and pulling the handles, journalism is for them.
COVID made me realize we truly have fake news and all that goes with it like “fact checkers”.
I was restricted on Facebook because I dared talk about lab leaks back in the early hysteria days. So the FB fact checker was messaging with me about their decision and I told him/her that I had a bachelors, and masters in a science related field with 30 years of experience. Then asked them what their qualifications were to fact check people like me.
She would not answer.
