As usual, the media and far left are politicizing everything. The left believes in (a) follow the rules (b) destroy the economy and blame Trump for it. So naturally, they want the shutdown to go on as long as possible, and since they're collectivists, they want everyone to go along. In a diverse society, you're going to get a diversity of followers. And the collectivists want to guilt, shame, attack and henpeck those not following what they want, to get them in line. If they have to exaggerate what's happening to guilt them or feel morally superior, they will do so. (Lies of omission, commission or exaggeration all allowed). And thus you get FakeNews reports that misrepresent what's happening.
Quarantine Quitters - An article that outrages people by claiming that people aren't practicing proper social distancing while going to California beaches. The problem is the remainers pretend they know what they are talking about (the don't), and that guilting others will persuade them -- it does the opposite.
The problems are that government has done a very poor job of telling the truth and persuasion. The media has gone out of their way to distort everything and alienate the public. And some know-nothing sanctimommy's (and the governor) are making unrealistic demands for ambiguous results from untrusted sources. And the sanctimommy's and far left want to blame the people for ignoring them, after they've done everything humanly possible to be untrustworthy and obnoxious. [1] |
Fake News - How do you know it's FakeNews? There's a game they're doing in photography called compressed perspective. You shoot low, and you shoot from far away with a big zoom lens -- it gives the perspective of making all those people look closer together than they are. |
If you want to give true perspective, you shoot it from above, or from close with a wide angle. When you do that, you find that the vast majority are social distancing, and those that aren't are just transiting.
Real news doesn't use dirty tricks to give misperceptions -- they have data and images that show what they want without those tricks.
