Daily covid cases are rising again

Well yeah but Latrin posts "I told you so" posts even when he was completely wrong.

And honestly, even if Trump won, I doubt they'd be going on about COVID anymore. People get tired of the same news so things move on. We have nearly 2 decades or GWoT, but the news really stopped caring about that a lot back in 2005 or so.

I doubt that. The virus was probably the best thing that happened for Democrats in the history of their existence, they aren't about to let that go quietly into the night, unless of course it doesn't benefit them politically then of course they're gonna bury any mention of it.

It isn't about what the democrats want. It is about ratings.

Yeah and blaming Trump for each and every covid death was great for ratings. Some CNN "news" programs are down 75% in the ratings since they stopped talking about covid and Trump.

It was amazing for ratings.

That is to say, everything Trump got good ratings. Hate articles, praise articles, all of them did. COVID was easy and right in your face daily.

Fox News. OAN was basically created from it.

Sure - don't let statistics get in the way of logic.

"Since 2016, previous studies from analysts at the Media Research Center revealed that the coverage of Mr. Trump on major broadcast networks was 91% negative."

I'm sure the "media" was just "reporting the facts", and didn't have an "agenda" at all. Nope.. nothing to see here folks..

“From June 1 through July 31, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts focused 512 minutes of airtime on the President, or nine times more than the 58 minutes allotted to Biden,” it continued. “The extra airtime devoted to Trump consisted almost entirely of anchors and reporters criticizing the President. During these two months, our analysts documented 668 evaluative statements about the President, 95% of which (634) were negative, vs. a mere 5% (34) that were positive.”

So you don't REALLY care about saving lives, just the lives of people who do things you want them to do.

Not exactly.

I don't care about people willingly skipping the vaccine. Those that can't get it due to other medical issues are unfortunate, and kids still seem to be dodging severe cases.

But my take on it is we have tools to reduce the severity of cases. Make your own personal choice, but I'm not going to have much sympathy if you skip it and end up in the hospital. It's clear that covid is here to stay, so we have to learn to live with it.
