What's with the hysterical anti-media FUD? We know about Cuomo's nursing home shenanigans because the media you complain about were at the forefront of reporting about it, starting as far back as April 2020. (WSJ, Politico, WaPo, NYT, NBC News, Chicago Tribune, ABC, and CBS were just some of the national news organizations reporting on this.) The public decided it didn't care.

Compare coverage on those outlets before and after the election. The media largely decides what the public does and doesn't care about. If they ran these stories as breathlessly as their ICE stories or their BLM stories the public would care.

  There were dozens of media organizations reporting on the nursing home scandal before the election. Months before the election. And after the election. There are dozens of articles about it this week from national news organizations due to the renewed interest in Cuomo. The media responds to what the public is interested in. It's clear from your comments that your throwaway account was created solely to spread FUD so I will stop engaging with you now.

    > The media responds to what the public is interested in. No, not at all. If this were the case then the public would be more interested in deportations under Obama than under Trump, considering the former deported more illegal immigrants in his first term than the latter, and yet coverage of border protection under Trump was far broader and more critical than under Obama (disclaimer: I voted for Obama and against Trump). > It's clear from your comments that your throwaway account was created solely to spread FUD so I will stop engaging with you now. Unless your legal name is "gamblor956" you have no room to talk. Anyway, I have half your karma and my account is only a third the age of yours, so clearly I'm here making valuable contributions (indeed in this thread alone I probably gained 50 karma, so clearly lots of folks agree with me, meanwhile your comments are grayed out). EDIT: Yes, Internet Points are stupid and I don't generally care about them, but they aren't completely useless for very crudely approximating who is and is not a troll. EDIT2: Looks like several people (or perhaps one person with several sock accounts) are downvoting all of my recent posts in rapid succession. Like I said above, I don’t care about my Internet Points! :)
