Firstly - I don't think C19 is a fake item at all. I do, however, have my doubts about the media.
Junior brings up some good points.
CBS gets caught using Italian news footage and passes it off as being here:
Again - I'm not saying that C19 isn't some serious shit, and NY is definitely getting cornholed - but it sure looks like our beloved media is fudging shit up through the ass once again...
No shit.
You have your doubts about the media?
The "my pillow" guy turns his private business into a great help for this crisis, and every major news outlet mocks insults and ridicules him. And you just have doubts?
The man is giving back to society, many times over, and the mainstream media bashes and attacks him.
Two 15 year old minors were libeled by the entire press and media. Their families received death threats as a result.
And you just have some doubts?
I'm sure if you gave it some serious thought over a nice slice of pizza and a cold beer, you'd have no doubt whatsoever, that the mainstream press and media are propaganda arms of the Democrat socialist party.
Any rational human being would come to that conclusion in a heartbeat.

I keep getting calls from family members who tell me that they cannot believe that Florida won't close its beaches, which are filled with irresponsible people. I keep telling them that the beaches have been closed for a while. The parking lots are roped off. There is no access. I live a mile from the beach, and there is no one there. There hasn't been anyone there for days and days. I am permitted to ride my bike and walk as long as I maintain social distancing. There is no problem with that issue because there is no one near the beaches. I ride or walk there every day. It is a ghost town. The news reporting is whack.
There IS a problem. However, the NEWS is out of control.

Who controls the media, controls the narrative.
What you say applied 20 years ago.
Not so much anymore.
There is no Walter Cronkite.
People get their info from countless sources.
The wannabe Cronkite at CNN, MSNBC,etc. are doing everything they can to sink Trump, but what was left of their audience is diminished as you no longer have millions stuck in a terminal waiting on a connecting flight.
Through out this ordeal Trumps numbers have slowly ticked up.

I was living on the Florida Panhandle coast when the Deepwater Horizon oil spill occurred.
On two separate days you could just barely smell the oil and on one of those days, a little bit actually washed up on the beach.
The media made it look like the beaches were covered with oil-drenched birds by using footage from the first few days near Louisiana. Finally around August, after tourism season had been totally wiped out, they started showing live pictures.

We were told it would be decades until the ecosystem had recovered to somewhat close to normal. Turns out it took about 2 years.
These folks seem to be the same as the global warming prognosticators. They can't even back into a working model with actual past years data.

They did the same thing with DUI and crack.

DUIs can kill people. Gary Webb died after exposing the truth about the drug war.
