News reporters are NOT the arbitrators of truth, no matter how serious and authoritative and matter of fact they pretend to be. I very rarely watch 'THE NEWS', but I've noticed since the coronavirus pandemic, they've started talking down to us as if we're children, literally telling us what to think and how to act. You MUST think this, and you MUST do that.
Well, I've got news for you (no pun intended): It isn't their job to do your thinking for you. You must think for yourself, learn for yourself, read for yourself & research for yourself. A true journalist will NEVER tell you what to think; they will simply present their information and encourage you, the viewer, to come to your own conclusions.
What passes for news today is not journalism; it's state propaganda. The mainstream media is, and always has been, the propaganda arm of the state. "The government controls the body, the media controls the mind" -- the two work in unison. Instead of watching 'the news', I hereby recommend everyone do their own research about COVID-19 and start listening to real, independent journalists who've no hidden agendas.
