I can watch Joe Rogan or Project Veritas & formulate my opinions.
Apparently you can't.
Yet you claim everything anyone says as always being Misinformation &/or Fear Mongering sounding much like CNN talking points while losing 90% of their viewers.
People stop tuning in when a news source misreports, sure. That's not taking into consideration demographical shifts resulting from the popularity of streaming services. Nor does that consider shifts from trends resulting from policies becoming more lax as vaccinated individuals become more prevalent. If you haven't noticed the point of the argument with Draylo initially arose because of the growing sentiment of being tired of or over the pandemic. If only it was a trend that could be passed over. People are tuning out because they've had it. They don't want to hear about it anymore. Can you think of any other reasons why CNN's viewership would decrease? I can.
Not everyone lives in NYC nor in areas hit hard by COVID. Nobody in such situations needs to pretend that they are living in NYC just to appease anyone else.
Except for when the people in areas heavily impacted leave and thereby spread the disease to surrounding populations because they are lax on their policies. Suddenly you have people from NYC trying to escape the city so they head to their summer home or their weekend cottage. Maybe mom lives down in Florida and they go to help after she had a fall at home. You have people from southern California, like Joe Rogan, that were feed up so they left to places like Texas. Then they caught the virus. Is it then a coincidence that they contracted the virus? No.
Contracting and spreading the virus is not some badge of honor. The reason you're attracted to people like Joe Rogan at this point is because your attention span has run out. You're feed up with the virus and people like Joe Rogan are saying what you want to hear. That doesn't make what they're saying right.
Hiding things in spoilers doesn't make it any better.
You made it red vs blue in your posts prior. That’s probably why ppl see such that way when ppl like yourself are always making such the case.
Apparently we can't talk about the history with supporting pieces of evidence from an objective non-partial viewpoint. In order to understand current events you have to take into consideration a multitude of factors. Sometimes current events can involve individuals that have strong affiliations or invoke strong emotions. It's important not to let those feelings overwhelm you. Sounds like you have some bigger issues to work out if you're that triggered over a piece of art that summarizes an event (from an artist that has had their art mentioned on the JRE podcast no less so you should recognize it stylistically). Clearly it clouds some people's abilities to rationalize what's going on and act accordingly.
