Every time I read stuff like this I can't help but think of the South Park episode where the Broflovski's buy a Prius and move to San Francisco and everyone captures their farts in glasses and sniffs them because they've convinced themselves they smell good. 1/https://twitter.com/marcambinder/status/1265869444900773888 …

I hear you and agree with this, but then again: what is the "media"? Or the "mainstream media" in today's landscape? It just seems to me we've moved past the point where these distinctions make sense. Everyone chooses media that confirms their priors.

MSM would be outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, NY Times, Wash Post, LA Times, Chicago Trib, etc, who all favor the Dems with a huge partisan fervor, and who have by far the most eyes on them. Fox tilts Right. Not in the ballpark of a fair fight.

Can I just say what a fan I’ve become of local news coverage during this? I feel the national media could learn a lot from the local tv stations and newspapers across the country that are largely reporting on the pandemic with little fanfare, opinion, or sensationalism?

Yeah, good journalism is still out there. Support your local paper! It's just becoming more and more painfully apparent that the major media outlets were do worried about the growth of clickbait news aggregators and popular opinion blogs that they sacrificed their own reporting

I think you're generally right about what you're saying (especially that batshit crazy Atlantic headline) but I think the jury is still out on Georgia. I've seen some reputable data providers out there showing that has been a small uptick so far...

...and that the reason for the flat infection rate is partially due to them suddenly including antibody testing over the past few weeks. There's also issue of mysterious spike in pneumonia deaths in FL. So not sure that the "sky is falling" people are definitively wrong.

I think this argument would be more compelling if a) there was less cherry picking (Ed Yong writes for the Atlantic as well and b) it noted that sensationalism is largely non-partisan. For example: I don't remember conservatives complaining about breathless HRC email coverage.
