Why does the media talk so much more about the coronavirus than about the food lines, the evictions, the social consequences of all that despair? There are many ways to ruin a life and damage a nation.

I don't. Because Twitter is part of the problem. Because you can't talk about something really important with 280 characters.

They have a vested interest in ignoring it. If we helped desperate people their taxes might go up. And we can't have the aristocracy paying more taxes. Everyone on camera on the networks are making seven figures.

why do you think Marianne?
I in fact have read her books - two of them. I am saying some of her latest tweets don't reflect the belief system she has been preaching.

Absolutely ‼️

It’s assumed that those are already accepted features of society. But even if they weren’t, the media has a profit motive to not cover those because the way to solve them is to cut into their profits.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Because the people they represent don't care about those.
There isn't a single story on the front page about the food lines, the evictions, the social consequences of all that despair. Plenty about the pandemic and Trump's crazy lawsuits. Not. A. Single. One. About. Evictions. Or. Food. Lines. Daily ones about #DiaperDon's complaints.
