IMO local news let us all down the most. These are the people who we see in Church, out to dinner, or their kids go to the same school as ours.
Instead of going to the local health care facilities, nursing homes, funeral homes and collecting real data daily on how many people were really sick or had passed; showing us in real time that there were not hordes of the sick and dying camped outside the infirmary and there were no freezer trucks parked behind the crematory, that was running night and day to dispose of the dead, they just keep pumping the corporate narrative, putting out cumulative numbers and telling us how bad things are.
It's unforgivable. I don't know how they sleep at night.

I was in the production call when the company I worked for decided to switch from reporting on deaths/hospitalizations to "cases", because news ratings were falling. News ratings spiked/peaked in March/April because of the early COVID stages, and started to go down, so to try and turn the tide the reporting switched to CASES CASES CASES because they wanted to keep people scared and therefore tuning into the news for the latest.

I sat in these meetings where this strategy was discussed.
