Journalist Glenn Greenwald said in a Tuesday Twitter thread that there was one single moment that changed media coverage of the coronavirus pandemic — and that when it “flipped overnight,” it destroyed trust in media.
The death of George Floyd — at the hands of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin — and the massive protests it inspired prompted a near-180 turn from multiple media outlets that had just spent the previous weeks telling Americans that the only patriotic thing to do was stay home to stop the spread of the virus.
The last time I trusted the MSM was Sept. 11 2001. And that was probably a mistake.
The last time I trusted the media was the day before the Tet Offensive – &I was 20 months old – at the time! It’s been all lies & bullshit ever since!
I never had a pivot on the media during COVID.
I’ve never trusted the Democrat Media Mafia.
Their COVID coverage did confirm the complete and total mistrust I had in the media all along.
I was blessed to have a Dad that always mistrusted the media, and he opened my eyes early on. He did teach me that there is a truth and that the biased media rarely reveals that truth.
– But their dishonesty has gotten worse and worse over the years.
I don’t consider it mistrust towards the media, I consider them to be the enemy of America.
I didn’t pivot but within the last few years:
The way they Sainted that Huge Fucker Michael Brown AFTER he common Assaulted a small shop keeper and Officer Wilson had to Send him to the After life.
The whole “Trayvon could have been My son” S.H.I.T.
84,000,000 Million Votes for a Turnip. (numbers keep changing)
And being told for about the last 40 years that Males with White Skin are to be blamed for everything wrong in society.
I checked out a Long time ago…
Funny, I recall lots of media presenting “what if” scenarios in 2017 to 2019. 🤔
We sure got what-iffed.
I think the shit started to hit the fan after Barney left Mayberry.
Walter Cronkite; ‘this war is lost’. 1968 I think.
Meanwhile, the FBI was running down some “Boogaloo Boys” who dared to sully the peaceful protests of BLM…
“…Despite detailed planning, the plot never came about. The men moved on, with aims to disrupt the economy and cause chaos at protests over the death of George Floyd, according to an FBI criminal complaint… Others associated with the boogaloo movement have also been arrested in recent months. All had the same focus on antigovernment attacks and fomenting a civil war, even if the targets and methods varied.”
The media wasn’t alone in burning its credibility to the ground in June 2020.
I’ve never trusted the media, once upon a time I trusted local news and then I trusted Faux News for a short time, I turned them both off long before most still thought both could be trusted.
I grew up with the news, living for only one thing, the news, consuming only one thing, the news. That would be fake. The need & desire to spread lies
misinformation & hate has almost surpassed the news, they’re tryin real hard to spread the bullshit.
Think of how news would be reported if there were no high speed mass means of communication. If every country, state, and city actually had staff reporters and world news came to them by mailed correspondence. But highspeed everything has sped the world up to the degree men however so intelligent and wise cannot make sound decisions. World leaders are like drunk’s driving race cars and we are watching the crash of the world around us.
