I'm a member of the left and how they've acted during this has turned me off. It's showed me that the left follows their mainstream media narratives just as much as the right follows their mainstream media narratives. No checking of data, no looking at alternatives, no risk of group rejection to say 'hey maybe this is overblown or incorrect or other alternatives exist' It's intellectual laziness to just go with a narrative without questioning it to see if it stands up to scrutiny... and the mainstream media just profits off of the sensationalism so it's not in the business of providing rational level headed analysis.
