Thanks. I watch Bloomberg when I'm in the US, and what they note about misinformation campaigns by Le Pen and others is true (fascists cannot get votes by meing honest). Anyone on Saidit can appreciate Bloomberg's approaches because they must provide reliable information for investors, or will not be popular with them. I don't watch CNN because they're too repetitive and it's strange how excited they get about normal news. The BBC I see every day is relatively reliable, though they're too baised in favor of Tories. Regarding the CNN link you've provided, I don't see anything there that's informative. I also try to avoid contradictory arguments, like 'falling upwards' and don't know what it means.

If BA.2 does go quietly, it may be because the US did such a poor job of stopping transmission of Omicron and the variants that came before it, that we have failed upward, bungling our way to a high level of immune protection

The meaning seems super clear to me, we are doing better now because of the unvaccinated. CNN tries to spin it as a bad thing, which is ridiculous.

Le Pen and others is true (fascists cannot get votes by meing honest).

Perhaps, but I think Bloomberg equating other politics as misinformation has a lot more to do with the conservative shift incoming. When that "misinformation" keeps turning out right, you lose people.

That's the problem. (You and some others are not bothering to look at the medical science and results, and then turning to a random article and saying, there it is!)

"misinformation" keeps turning out right

I really don't understand why you say things like this, rather confidently, as if it's a fact. I'm told often that I always try to see the best in people. I should worry about backhanded compliments like that.

medical science

I read the data. I came to a different set of conclusions, and I am not alone. I am not a layperson, I didn't suddenly get interested in medicine with covid. And most doctors have no spine. They rolled over for the opioid crisis, they'll say whatever they're told to say to not risk their license.

It's just obvious to me. I think in time it'll be obvious to you too. Look at the Hunter Biden thing, you see what lengths mainstream media will go to in order to manipulate public opinion. Facts don't matter to them, the narrative does. I don't have a comprehensive list of all the "wacko conspiracy theories" that have proven correct, but surely you're not unaware of this disturbing trend.
