"to my surprise, the Dr. here is quite informative and thoughtful with his answers - good, interesting read."

"Q - Why does the media hype cases constantly but seem to ignore the deaths stabilizing and death rates declining?"

"A - Drama sells. Good news doesn’t bring in big ratings. Our news media has become flawed in their constant fixation on showing a particular narrative they’ve chosen to push."

The good doctor is either a fool or a liar. Ratings are not the driving force in their reporting. If he is willing to lie about this why should anyone listen to anything else he has to say?

‘If he is willing to lie about this why should anyone listen to anything else he has to say?’

he didn’t lie; he responded to a question with his opinion, which is what he was asked to do; but do carry on with your silly rant...

I’d say it’s not a stretch to say “getting clicks” is what pays the bills at the media outlets. So, no problem for me with that observation.
Besides, his area of expertise is in the medical arena instead of being a media analyst. I’d look elsewhere for media criticism.
