Then you are a fellow traveler of the media, or worse one of the sheep. How well does the media report the deaths in China? They investigate and parse every syllable out of some people's mouth, and mouth every syllable that comes out of other sources. There's an equivalence problem here.“The media” aren’t those counting the dead. That’s done by the medical community. Reporting on the weather has nothing to do with counting dead people, nor identifying the cause of death. I agree that the media over do lots of things, but that doesn’t also mean all things reported by the media are equally overdone. Your logic is not sound and your conclusions are not valid.
