All those sour fellows who criticize other men's lives in
a spirit of priggishness and are real enemies to their own lives, playing
schoolmaster to the world – you should not consider them as worth a farthing,
nor should you hesitate to prefer good living to a good reputation.
I’m not sure how odd this is, but the mainstream media do not appear to have enhanced their reputations during the coronavirus debacle. Odd because it should have been fairly easy and popular to present the essential information and the uncetainties without screeching headlines and political point scoring.
Of course we are so used to the media screeching we hardly notice when
it shouldn’t be there. Yet in this case it doesn’t seem to benefit the
screechers at all. In which case – yes it is odd.

I think the media lazily settled into a routine: patiently lecturing the public on how to behave around trannies and ethnic minorities, etc, and attacking the government.
The crisis has trapped them. All they can lecture us about now are hand-washing and social distancing, which is boring. And trying to embarrass the government just looks cheap.
There's just no news for them to report. Hopefully people have a better view of the other social control agendas, and will remember.
Sam - yes it's odd how lazy they are. They must surely feel the pressure from alternative online news and opinion sources but that doesn't appear to be enough to jolt them out of old habits.
