Instead of honest and unbiased reporting, the mainstream media has twisted and distorted the numbers to scare the public into believing that their lives are at risk every time they leave their homes to shop, to go to work, or to exercise and that President Donald Trump is responsible for the more than 5 million reported cases of COVID-19 and the 175,000 deaths that have been attributed to it.
The distortions take many forms. At first, the media exclusively pushed death counts alone – guaranteed to stoke fear.
Once death counts began to fall, they lost their scare factor – but by then, testing had become more widespread. So the media began to publish positive test numbers and deaths — both daily and cumulative numbers — without context as to how many tests were conducted in a given day, the positivity rate of the tests, and how many of those who died had underlying conditions.
