But hey, the media reports a spike and that's enough for people to buy in. The media is corrupt. The media is the enemy.
No one I know believes the damn media any more.
I recently saw an article on CNN about the dangerous spike of Covid in Florida. I checked out the article, against my better judgment. No mention of the locale. No mention of what constituted the spike. No mention of the symptoms or the severity of the illness. In other words, the reportage was incompetent.
