Drew Holden: 本文作者认为,许多媒体机构在疫情后试图掩盖其曾主张封锁的言论,并对自身行为进行粉饰。他列举了《大西洋月刊》一篇关于佐治亚州解封的文章为例,指出该文章以耸人听闻的标题和内容歪曲了佐治亚州的疫情状况。他还指出,与媒体的预测相反,较早解封的州并未出现大规模死亡事件,死亡率甚至低于较晚解封的州。他认为,媒体对疫情的反应存在两种动机:一部分人是为了控制,一部分人则是出于真诚的恐惧。他还批评了CNN的疫情报道,认为其新闻报道中充斥着对反对封锁民众的恶意揣测和歪曲,并在报道学校复课问题时选择性地引用研究结果,制造恐慌情绪。最后,他还分析了媒体对最高法院裁决特朗普可以参选的反应,认为媒体对特朗普的强烈偏见导致其丧失了客观判断能力,即使是自由派法官的裁决也被媒体歪曲。 Sam Stone: Sam Stone 认同 Drew Holden 的观点,并补充说明了媒体在疫情期间的失误,以及这些失误对民众生活和政治的影响。他还表达了对未来疫情相关内容如何在教科书中呈现的担忧,认为可能会出现歪曲事实的情况。 Michelle Ugenti-Rita: Michelle Ugenti-Rita 分享了她作为亚利桑那州议员在疫情期间的经历,她指出疫情期间媒体报道与民众实际经历严重脱节,充斥着宣传和谬误。她认为媒体并非单纯错误,而是故意利用疫情进行政治操纵,并指出许多媒体人士过于执着于自身观点,以至于无法接受新的证据。她还谈到了疫情期间民众的恐惧情绪,以及媒体如何利用这些情绪来达到其目的。
