'New research explores how conservative media misinformation may have intensified the severity of the pandemic' WP

"The three studies paint a picture of a media ecosystem that entertains conspiracy theories and discourages audiences from taking steps to protect themselves and others"

"Coronavirus infections have surged in a number of states, setting the United States on a markedly different pandemic trajectory than other wealthy nations.

There are many reasons our response to the pandemic tied to nearly 120,000 U.S. deaths has faltered, experts say, including the lack of a cohesive federal policy, missteps on testing and tracing, and a national culture emphasizing individualism.

In recent weeks, three studies have focused on conservative media’s role in fostering confusion about the seriousness of the coronavirus. Taken together, they paint a picture of a media ecosystem that amplifies misinformation, entertains conspiracy theories and discourages audiences from taking concrete steps to protect themselves and others."

Who knew that listening to Sean Hannity, Rush Limburger, Laura Ingraham, et al can be hazardous to your health and to everyone around you? All to praise and bolster the fragile ego of the Orange Menace and his cabal.

I'll wait to see the Washington Times take on it.

Why am I not surprised you love the 'Moonie' Times. As foul a cesspool that was ever published/excreted.

Sad lil' t'Rumpling.

You missed the smiley face.

Fact is that I see both as biased. The washington post story is, to me, like a Fox broadcast slamming CNN. There is good reporting and crap reporting from all sources, but the ones I respect the most are not even among the ones mentioned. That being said, I think Laura Ingraham offers vastly superior analysis compared to Cuomo or Lemmon. And I watch them all. They are not even in the same league. And the future proves the veracity of Laura's analysis time and time again.

Of course, opinions vary. Bottom line is that I basically see the article as projection.

That said, I know a guy that follows Q and that stuff gets weird.

Of course you think that Nazi Ingraham is the bee's knees.

I'm really relating to the Conservative Black folks on YouTube.

I don't have the heart to tell them Trump's a traitor to the USA.

I think she is one of the best and maybe the best. But I'm not aware of her nazi credentials. That could change my position.

I'm not seeing any evidence of that, but I do understand that we may be handing down some indictments when Barr and Durham finish up.
