Sorry, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I have faith in the goodness of people overall even if individuals keep proving that some people are fucking assholes.
US media are businesses; especially cable news....which is about 5 minutes of news, 10 minutes of commercials and 45 minutes of bullshit.
Well...nothing wrong with having faith in people.
But you are just asking me to ignore too much.
Cable News ratings have been plummeting for years as their demographic is dying out.
Suddenly, a golden opportunity arises?
SO they have a choice?
Take an unbiased view and report both sides of the lockdown/don't lockdown equation?
Or go all out for lockdowns, help panic people and watch their ratings skyrocket.
Sorry man.
But the numbers are FAR too strong for me to ignore.
I do not see why greed-over-everything corporations only applies to every, other corporation but major, telecommunication ones.
Aww well...it matters little.
The demographics of the MSM are already over 60.

In 20 years?
They viewers will be largely dead.
And the MSM will probably die with them.
