False Narrative The Serious You: How Current Events Affect You

That is very interesting and not political.
Well, it doesn't have to be political, but as with everything else... somebody will politicize it.

Any side can do this, as well any side can give honest reporting.
Except there's a big problem there. Both sides do it... the left's side is left unblocked on Twitter, Facebook and in the liberal news media where as the right is blocked, banned, doxed, called racist and any other name. And in the end, when you look at the main stream media... nothing the right stands for is printed.
And that folks... is where we're at today.
When one hides the honest truth and allows the blatant lies and propaganda to proliferate... then there is another problem.
Biggest problem is... how can we hold journalists accountable... regardless of which side they're on?
Next biggest problem is... how can we get Facebook, Twitter and other big tech sites from hiding the honest truth?

Journalists are doing what they are rewarded for doing. The people running the news outlets hold the keys.

Yes but they should be held accountable for what they print.
And if it's important for the general public to know about, what they hide as well!

How do we do that when their culture says it’s not important?
Important to the general public is important to the general public... their culture doesn't get to define what is important or not.
Hydroxychloroquin is not dangerous. But their culture determined it was and thus blasphemed it as dangerous.
I wonder just how many people COULD have gotten the Hydroxychloroquin mix but didn't because of their fake news and ended up dying!

Hydroxy is given all over the world for malaria so how was it dangerous? That never made sense.

Yep, but all of the liberal news media as well as many Congressional Democrats were making up all kinds of lies and spewing out fake news that it was dangerous.
Like I said... I wonder how many it may have saved were they not so afraid to take it.
The only sense it makes is "to make Trump look bad". (i.e. No sense or nonsense BS!!!) It was just another false narrative.

You also wonder how many took it but didn’t tell anyone.
There are probably quite a few of them... they were too afraid to say that they had taken hydroxychloroquin because they would have been lambasted, called stupid and a lot of others would have probably dumped on them, not to mention that Facebook and Twitter would have banned their accounts.
So yes... I presume quite a few of them decided not to tell anybody.

They got well, too. Someone on the left did come out after Hydroxy saved her life.
