As with everything post 2000's - you can't get good information anymore.
You can't.
As has been said and repeated - "If you do not read a newspaper or watch the news - you are uninformed. If you do - you are misinformed".
That is sadly the truth.
Everything now is tainted by politics and political shading of information.
People don't know who to believe, and what to believe.
That leads to people getting information from whatever source they can - and tending to believe what supports their preconceived belief.
The CDC can't be trusted, the President and his administration certainly can't be trusted and neither can ANY main news source.
And this is why we are where we are.
