I wish that we had some sort of media literacy program in public schools. Reading only the headlines-only is like gluing a Mercedes medallion on a Yugo and thinking you had a lux ride. Even if everyone just had a class writing headlines, it would be an improvement in our media literacy. Headlines ARE hard!

One of the things I wonder about is why (our failed political press) is focused on J&J. This past quarter the stories focused on 1) the delays in FDA approval, 2) the lower efficacy (but not the trade-off with the one-and-done), 3) manufacturing problems (at a subcontractor plant, not with the vaccine’s component parts), and now 4) blood clotting in a statistically minuscule number of cases.
I would almost think that the press owned stock in Pfizer.
i think, as that study noted, the US press does tend to like bad Covid news. Lord knows there was enough under Trump. but i think they still search it out under Biden.
Yeah, I suppose a story like, “Everything Is Fine” would be dull reading. But it is still completely irresponsible if not malpractice to leave out the context.
