      I didn't understand till I saw this why so many people in the US thought the coronavirus was "just the flu." I thought it was mostly their own ignorance about a new disease. I didn't realize the extent to which the media had been actively telling them so.

          Why isn’t Fox being sued into oblivion? That genuinely puzzles me

          this is a daily show clip - you can find the same content on msnbc and from new york state officials, this was a whole-elite (save for an extreme minority) information collapse

          And remember Fox News dominates cable news. I included the video in this post.https://www.toddheberlein.com/blog/2020/4/3/big-early-signs-of-covid-19 …

          Perhaps because everyone thought it was like the flu since no information was coming out of China to dissuade them.

          There was plenty of information coming out of China. People choose to ignore it. I have been following since December

          Had an infuriating conversation w/ colleague early March around planning for serious cash flow issues, etc in preparation & he parroted same stuff about “common flu kills more people than this has”. I ignored, cut hard & deep immediately. He hasn’t brought that idea back up.

          I think it's mostly confirmation bias: party in power, (fake) economic growth, they're winning.

          It is easy to forget just how many people across America use Fox, CNN, and NBC as their main source of information.

          You can't avoid it either, if your source is nytimes,wsj, or wp

          I don’t watch any Fox except Tucker. He was early and consistent that CV was a threat. IMO he is the best truth teller in the legacy media.
