As a general rule, when the New York Times, the Washington Post, National Public Radio, Public Broadcasting Service, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, and CNN begin to parrot a narrative, the truth often is found in simply believing just the opposite.
Put another way, the medias truth is a good guide to what is abjectly false. Perhaps we can call the lesson of this valuable service, the medias inadvertent ability to convey truth by disguising it with transparent bias and falsehood, the Doctrine of Media Untruth.
Take the strange case of the respective records of liberal New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Florida counterpart Ron DeSantis. Both states have roughly equal populations, with Florida slightly larger by about 2 million. Both have populations that travel daily back and forth between their respective major cities. Both are major international tourist and travel hubs. Both have widely diverse populations.
Both have large numbers of retirees and long-term-care homes. Yet, New York has suffered 14 times the number of coronavirus deaths as has Florida. Florida is now increasingly open, and on May 19 saw 54 deaths attributed to the virus. That same day, New York was completely locked down and yet saw nearly twice that number at 105 deaths.
One would never know from the media of the contrasting fates of the two states during the epidemic.DeSantis is often rendered little more than a reckless leader who exposed Floridians to needless danger. Cuomo, in contrast, increasingly is deified by the media as likely presidential timber who finesses press conferences in the lively fashion of his legendary beloved father, and iconic liberal, Mario Cuomo.

Take voting my mail for instance. Since the media and the democrats are all for it....
Naturally I’m against it.
Orwell got it right back when everyone believed it to be fiction.
Good stuff, but really wish people knew how to use possessive pronouns.
Oh, are you RAB? Can you reformat?
It’s —> Its
I’ll be happy to share a corrected version.
A thorough defenestration.
You mean the “It’s” error? Can and will if you promise to plaster it all over the Net between now and November.
Let me know.
I’m working without a proofreader here.
