It absolutely did not.
The press did.
The mainstream US media has become a one-sided partisan cheerleading squad for the Democrats, and most Americans are sick of it. We'll see how that works out in November.
- starkd 7y agoExactly. How is passing on information that had already been widely circulating among medical professionals making it partisan?
- ageofwant 7y agoThis is the one great thing about democracy: you choose exactly what you deserve.
- philjohn 7y agoLet's not jump the gun yet - not even been peer-reviewed.
- bart_spoon 7y agoI would argue that its being peer-reviewed as we speak. The typical peer-review process involves having other experts review the paper, for free, before publication. One small silver lining of this pandemic is the urgency has caused the scientific model to shift towards preprints, which are rapidly disseminated among the scientific community via places like Twitter and Reddit, and notable papers end up getting vetted by many, many more experts much more quickly than they would via the traditional process. I've already seen many flawed papers quickly debunked and shot down, and others quickly floated to the top of the discussion, via experts commenting on Twitter and elsewhere. I wonder if after all this is over, if our methods of modern science are changed forever, or if we just revert to where we were before.
- yepwewillsee 7y agoNo, most Americans are sick of Trump and his mindless anti science supporters and their endless lies. Yeah. We are going to see in November. You aren’t going to like the outcome for your racist draft dodging business failure tax cheating rapist impeached serial liar with early dementia but restoring adults to leadership will suit the rest of us well.
- stuff4ben 7y ago"restoring adults to leadership" with Biden (or any of the dems)? Hah! Good luck with that...
- anu7df 7y agoYour bias is showing. I could say "most Americans are sick of a lying, inept administration that can't be trusted". But I would be accused of being a biased democrat. I suspect the reality is the administration is totally inept or rendered inept due to the rotten top. The misinformation or biased information on either side's media outlet does not let the people see the real truth. Strange times indeed.
- BFatts 7y agoThink about how silly that sounds - the MSM would need to coordinate their work, on a grand scale, to repeat the same messages about Trump and his people. They would have to coordinate their "fake news" (i.e. stuff that's critical of Trump) to all refer to the same facts. Seems like a lot of work to coordinate a destructive effort against the president AND keep it up over the last 3.5 years...
- zimpenfish 7y ago> The mainstream US media has become a one-sided partisan cheerleading squad for the Democrats They broadcast almost every word Trump says, largely uncritically[1], with frequent "Today is the day he became President" epiphanies whilst minor Democrat issues are blown up into huge talking points and controversies that last for months. How the chuff are they a "one-sided partisan cheerleading squad" for the Democrats? [1] There'll occasionally be a "these things aren't true" afterwards but it doesn't stop them broadcasting them first.
