It’s like when the media claimed without facts that the virus originated from someone eating a bat and that claim had a domino effect.

@SW-User W don't yet know that's not true. We have no idea how this virus came into the human population yet.

@Graylight theres lots of unanswered questions but I don’t like where this is going.
I was pointing out how quick the media can spin such bullshit and how quick people can believe such rumors.

@SW-User No, on this we agree. Wholly and completely. The right skewers CNN; the left skewers Fox. I can't think of a single media source (outside maybe Reuters and AP) that offer objective, relevant news.
I watch CNN all day long take a stupid, irrelevant issue and spend 12 hours and 6 panels of 'experts' to prove how inane it is. [i]Then don't obsess over it.[/i]
But the media has always been as guilty of gossip as they were a source for news. It's just that we run purely, wholly on speculation, rumor, conjecture and opinion these days. A hour of Anderson Cooper a night should not cover three topics that never leave the backyard of "conservatives are bad." Fox is worse. But they're all getting to be parodies of actual journalism.
