American media I think is completely done with Covid reporting, realizing that they have exhausted the public's appetite for it.
It's hard to avoid the temptation to blame the news media for the pseudo-populist dysfunction of the American political system at the moment.

- diogenescynic 5y ago>Are these not important issues? I didn't take any position at all and I wasn't judging. Just look at articles and what's covered more frequently on cable news. COVID is self-evidently lower priority at the moment to stock market volatility, inflation, Ukraine, abortion, mass shootings, etc. It's been 2+ years, people are burnt out of COVID--and I say this as someone who tested positive for it yesterday and is sitting in my spare bedroom to quarantine myself from my family.
