Why is no one calling the media out for not presenting the FACTS of the case. ?
Does the US have a media regulator like we have in the UK?
@zleap @Sydneykaye01 @Bleukitty Only "we the people" I think, Paul. Although I'm thinking the multiple defamation lawsuits coming their way from KR might cause them to self-regulate a bit. CNN was singing a bit of a different tune immediately following the trial.

Just noticed that you have MAGA in your name, Having a media industry that speaks the truth based on evidence BUT still allows debate and expression of opposing views (with evidence to form arguments) will be a huge step in the right direction.
The UK could learn but seems where the US leads others follow, so it is time for the US to lead,.

If you want to read up on science just look at journals, etc, and support open access to research so more people can read up directly from the research and not a interpretation of it,
IMO, the issue lies within the 'reading' of it. Most are intimidated by medical research papers, i.e. terminology used and it requires time. I have been reading such papers for decades and I still have to look up some of the terminology. I'll add I typically go back and re-read them, just to assure myself I understood the material.
@Bleukitty @pamby1 @Sydneykaye01
Yeah it is not easy, I like websites such as scienceforums,net, if you read something and ask a question as to your understanding and post a link to a paper, people will generally help you.
Say something like Am I right in thinking X
I did that a while back when asking about endo vs exo thermic reactions so I could check I understood what I was reading properly.
@Bleukitty @pamby1 @Sydneykaye01
Ok to add in this case I didn't ask about a paper, I just found an explanation of both exo and endo and asked if my interpretation was correct.
@zleap @Sydneykaye01 @Bleukitty You're right, Paul. We're gonna have to take a more active role in the info we take in and use in our decision making- watch the trial, watch the press conference, watch the results of actions taken, listen to independant news sources, develop better discernment...
