RJ, not even close. I want to know specifically which media is lying about Covid 19 and I would also like to see his research. He claims to be looking up what is being fed to us by the media. Let's see what he's "looked up".

The media is one thing, however, governments and politicians are making it increasingly difficult to believe a damn thing they say.

I understand that people have their own opinions and passions about the Media and Politics, but on the whole, and for as long as I've been around, (76 years) the media and politicians were normally at the top of the list for gross misinformation.

I understand how political leanings can sway peoples opinions of what to believe or not.

Being passionate about anything, including your political thinking, isn't a bad thing but it can lead to not being able to communicate and reason with other people that may not agree with your opinion.

I may be way out of line but it would seem to make more sense to use our passions towards a more productive outcome.

Arguing with other people about this makes no sense when nobody is going to change their mind set. I'm as guilty as anyone.

What positive steps, if any, could be taken?

Using common sense and be being cautious is a pretty safe bet.

In my opinion, and I'm not going to get into arguments, just what I observe:
media and the Democrat Party marches to the beat of Media Matters and George Soros

Which way does the Media type these 2 words, don't, stop or don't stop. They state the exact opposite yet the same 2 words. Media writes it the way they want their narrative to be.

The Republican Party and the Tea Baggers march to the beat of Fox News, Breitbart News, Infowars, The Drudge Report, and Charles Koch. An honest and fun loving group indeed.

Don't waste your time. The guy has validated almost everything I wrote. He wants me to share my research because he's too lazy to do it. I bet he wants me to pay him for it too.

He's the type of guy who will go out to prove that the media is honest and factual instead of questioning whether the information is honest and factual and making your own conclusions based on what you find from real data.

You just cannot fix it.

You're just talking trash because you are the type of person who is immune to research. You're a closed minded person who is actually too lazy to do research. In fact you only have opinions and have no research that's why you are not responding to my post.
