Epistemological reality, really?

9% of the country think that 30million died of covid, a 100million think that Donald Trump was elected because of Russia, exponentially more people have been convinced of far bigger lies.

The information in your link might be more persuasive if it wasn't ten months out of date.

So you think there has been some turnaround in the press coverage in the last 10 months? Where have you been for the last 10 years, Hannity, Maddow, same thing they sell fear as a virtue, panic as logic and hate all day.

It's an opinion tracker. A poll. It measures people's responses to the press coverage, not the press coverage itself. Press coverage may or may not have changed significantly, but circumstances have definitely changed, to the point that I think there may have similar changes in the people's opinions in the last 10 months.

And where I've been for the past 10 years isn't watching some member of the talking herd on the boob tube.

Best not to try to prove your points by being offensive and rude as you make your points.

As I've said elsewhere today, this might not be the forum for you.

May you find peace wherever you end up.
