They have been pimping the same one plant closure for two weeks and keep blaring it all across the news as “FOOD SUPPLY FEARS”.

That is old news. Yes some of them tried, but most people aren't that stupid to listen and blew it off.

It’s the media. Their narrative is all that matters.

Nearly all media gets more exposure for itself through fear mongering and anxiety. This phenomenon existed before the Rona, and will unfortunately do so well after.

Good Morning America was pushing that agenda this morning. The media is bound and determined to create mass hysteria.

If it bleeds, it leads. Has been around since news media started. Everyone thinks Fake News is a recent phenomenon, it isn’t. The difference is that before we didn’t have the internet, social media and people with cell phone cameras to refute what the talking heads were telling us. Now we know they are full of shite 90% of the time.

Creating a fear, creates impulse hoarding which creates short term shortage at the retail level which creates the perception of food shortages.
Creates opportunity to video empty shelves. Then rinse and repeat.

I suppose their might be a pork shortage with the closures to both Smithfield and Tyson... Of course at this point is the Smithfield plant back up and running
