Coronavirus - Take two - Action!

[BIAD]

Good writeup!

I agree that alot of people seem kind of stupid, but I'm pretty sure that even if we limit ourselves to  Mensa-level IQ, that leaves two percent who ARE indeed capable of reasoning their way out of a paper bag.   That's alot of people out of the US population.  I wonder.....where are journalists at on this scale?   Physicians only average 120.  Mensa entry level is 130 IIRC.   Not so sure they need to tell this two percent fuck all.

And yes, we have indeed cancelled the newspaper subscription and can only stomach brief portions of BBC.  Hubs reads the Daily Mail because they have our local news BEFORE ANYONE HERE does (which we see as slightly outrageous).   Everything else is completely ignored.   Pretty sure we're not the only household in any of this.

I hadn't heard the baby whale was killed.  :(

Don't get me wrong, it's not that most people are dumb, it's that many of those who feed their shite to the Journalists 
and the the Journalists themselves THINK their customers are dumb! This is the main cause for the damage in the world
of information reporting.

It's a pompous view that's comes from the middle-class backgrounds of those who enter the vocation. Just look at the
substance of today's news. It's all 'celebrity'-orientated or -when an actual incident occurs, is purveyed from a standing
of a non-proletarian. The perception hinted at is people of a certain 'lower' status behave in such a negative manner
because they don't know any better or that it's to be expected of them.

This is why we're currently seeing the false opposition on identification during elections. 'Black people don't understand
the internet' -a slur that isn't realised because of an ingrained belief that there are those who lead and those who follow.
A true aspect of humanity... yes, but the decision of who leads shouldn't be based on wealth and a select education.

I must admit, the BBC Breakfast news programme is a hoot to watch! The banal arrogance displayed in their articles
is cringe-worthy. Again, the 'let's-feel-sorry-for-someone-because-of-their-skin-colour' virtue-signalling is indicative of
their self-presumed Class-status.

It worked for a while, but it's now outdated. And because they desire little interaction with 'the unwashed', they're
unaware of the mockery that occurs just outside their studio doors.

Yes... shame about the whale.
