The sad truth is that most people are too lazy to look up what is being fed to them by the media. They turn on the tube or read the paper and take everything as truth.

They don't understand that the media is a business and like all businesses they have to turn a profit. They sell the news. You don't thinks so? Look up the salaries that some of these people are pulling down.

The COVID situation is no different. They are selling fear and people are too lazy to look up and make an effort to understand the data. The data is out there. Not only for COVID but other causes of death.

People die and the media lies. That's the plain truth of it all.

Don't get me started on what politicians will say and do to get their way.

Well, I hate to get you started, but what is the media lying about concerning Covid 19? I would love to see some of your research on the subject.

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".

I want to know exactly what 3rd party the media is getting its info from.

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

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.

My question to SSGTMustang was simply a request to provide his proof about the media lying about Covid 19. He comes back with a bunch of gibberish and attacks me. And I don't put up with that crap. He wants to talk smack but runs for cover when asked to prove his garbage remarks that I take he has gotten from the Dictator in Chief. People need to be called out for this kind of trash talking.
