Does The Media Have A “Bad News Bias†With COVID Reporting?https://hotair.com/archives/allahpundit/2021/03/24/media-bad-news-bias-covid-reporting/You know the answer to the question in the headline. Of course the media has a “bad news bias.†I wrote about it myself a few weeks ago in the context of the strange under-coverage of newly vaccinated senior citizens finally reuniting with their grandchildren after a year in isolation. The emotional pull of stories like that should have made them a staple of TV news coverage in March, as more Americans got their shots. There was even a partisan angle in it potentially for our fair-and-balanced press: “Look at the joy Joe Biden’s vaccine program has brought back to our country!â€
As it is, a month on, I still haven’t seen any news segments like that. The closest we’ve gotten is occasional print pieces by or about senior citizens describing their relief at being able to reenter society safely. Good stuff — but not enough.
1. Yes. Mix
Orange Man Bad, "If it bleeds it leads", and
Orange Man Bad.
2. Before the election, the article author,
Never-Trumper "Allahpundit", had his own "Bad News Bias" wrt Covid and vaccines due to the
Bad Orange Man. "Allahpundit" is a hypocrite correctly calling out MSM "Bad News Bias".
