I know the horse has already left the barn, but any chance anyone's ever going to look at the whole of their output in any time frame other than 1/30-2/4 and realize this obsession's a bit overdone? The virus-related tweets right after that one, then more: https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Avoxdotcom%20(virus%20OR%20coronavirus%20OR%20pandemic%20OR%20wuhan)%20until%3A2020-02-10&src=typed_query&f=live …pic.twitter.com/aOgpk6U45r
They told people not to wear masks, they pushed the "it's just a flu bro" line They don't get to shirk responsibility for the shit they put out just because they were trying to bait SEO clicks with random coronavirus pieces
Politicians are rightfully being dragged for downplaying the virus and leading us into this situation, the media doesn't get to cover up the fact they were doing the same thing and then go around scolding people for it
Either it's A Vital Institution of Democracy and it owns up and publicly eats shit for journalistic malfeasance that actually harmed public health, or it gets run out of public life and gets banned for #FakeNews, just like it was advocating not so long ago
If you read the totality of Vox's coverage of this story in February there is no way you don't come away thinking this is very serious shit. I'll be the first to say their coverage of cultural issues is absolutely awful, btw. In this case? Even the wrong stuff is on the pols.
It’s great the media can shame people for single sentences because “harm” but when they explicitly downplay the virus and discourage preventative measures we have to “look at it in totality” They can’t claim to be a check on gov and mindlessly regurgitate press releases
I'm absolutely opposed to mobbings by the media. However, fact remains that (1) articles downplaying the virus were vastly outnumbered by ones taking it seriously, & (2) starting in late Feb. when the pandemic was fully in evidence, the ONLY ones downplaying it were Team Trump.
And some of them are STILL downplaying it. (See under "Owens, Candace")
It's not clear that Owens should be measures with the same yard stick as Yglesias. Owens is carving out a living by selling deliberately crafted bad takes based on market demand. Yglesias tries to regulate society by telling progressive urban professionals what to think.
You are of course right that Fox viewers were much worse informed than Vox readers.
Pff the whole crews on 538, The Weeds, and much of Vox are bean counting automatons.
