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.

Who is the media? Who is controlling the "news"? ABC is Disney...think about it.

Driving their purpose - setting the agenda

If congress would pass another aid package we wouldn't need to talk about the food lines and evictions! I was ordered out of work due to having lupus. Without aid I am scaping by on my emergency food stores. I'm lucky to have them. Many don't.

Because they are pushing the Great Reset sponsored by the World Economic Forum. You know, “Build Back Better” BS. Have you not been paying attention? You endorsed the team that is taking us into this dystopian nightmare of mandatory vaccines, endless war, & economic slavery.

Wonderful point!

The media should be talking about all of it & the escalated impact & direct connection in disparity. All of us should be talking about it. Many are profiting at the expense of others lives & the connection in all of this. This is what we must eliminate to open up equality.

Well I think your question is rhetorical but Fear sells - not to discount the truly horrific fact that hundreds of thousand of Americans are dead mostly because of incompetence and lies, but Media speaking only, Fear sells, but the pandemic is a just fear.

Imagine how different the news would look if producers were paid the national median income

Because they are required to stick to safe programming as opposed to actually reporting on news. I hate the same stories every hour. The only thing that changes is the "personality" delivering the story.

Because it's easier for them to blame those problems on an intangible enemy "the virus" and not allow people to accept that it's the government's own inaction or oppressive action that lead to these problems
