Having had 3 days away from social media, online media and the TV/radio media, I've appreciated how utterly awful the coverage has been on COVID-19. Stupid questions, setup questions to get at the Govt for a gotcha, shouting over people in interviews, slanted facts, stupid social media outrages... I can see why the media's trust ratings are sinking. It's become a drag on our lives and social media is becoming an even worse cesspool.
I didn't miss it and don't feel any less informed than I was on Thursday by doing it. And frankly, we may not go back to the TV news again. They've cooked their own goose in the past 6 weeks.
