Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Well, she's a keeper. NSFW.

 

That’s not it. It’s the opposite. The media have been conditioned to write negative COVID stories because they had to spend a year combatting “Drumpf’s” sunshine and lollipops.

 

Looking for her glasses and claiming she's blind. Obviously (tone-)deaf, too.

 

Every time I engage with an anti-vaxxer, including my own sister, I feel like Dennis in this episode of Sunny.

 

She seems nice.

 

It needed pointed out, why?

 

Remember when Republicans kept telling us that flip-flopping was bad?

 

Because somebody thinks a newspaper in a city that voted 80% for Biden is catering to its Trumpist readers by going out of its way to proclaim that the vaccines don't work.

 

That "somebody" is you, unless you don't believe your own words.

That was more than a "schlub writing a headline." It was the decision to write the story. The decision to give it prominence. And finally, the decision to sign off on everything. On April 20, 2021, for crying out loud, with the US kicking ass in vaccinations and the 7-day COVID death number average at a level one-fifth of what it was three months ago.

The editors of the Post-Dispatch aren't aiming their message at the residents of the city of St. Louis. Their readers, and advertisers, are in the suburban counties that went heavily for Trump.

 

We’re now arguing over such a small percentage of the population. People who read a newspaper.

 

I'd disagree. That story will be linked by countless people and organizations and receive distribution far, far beyond the P-D's traditional "circulation" area. More people are reading newspaper stories than ever before. Just on a different platform than paper.

I've never subscribed to the Washington Post or the NY Times in my life. But I read their stories all the time.

 

They're not "aiming" their message toward anyone.

They're just being negative shits. Which is the norm. The variants are going to kill you. The vaccines won't save you. Woe is us.
