When it comes to coronavirus, U.S. media coverage is far more negative than elsewhere, university researchers conclude

I've always thought the opposition to reopening schools is fucking bizarre:

"What they found, they say, was startling negativity in the mainstream U.S. media. For example, 90% of school-reopening articles from the U.S. mainstream media were negative, versus only 56% for the English-language media in other countries. Stories of increasing COVID-19 cases outnumbered stories about decreasing cases by a factor of 5.5 — even during periods when new cases were declining, according to a working paper circulated by the National Bureau of Economic Research."

The teachers union probably has some influence is my guess.

Coronaphobia is running rampant in the media. And It's the irrational fear that paralyzes the whole world.

If it bleeds it leads. I can't believe anyone is shocked by this. US Media (and British from what I've seen) tend to be sensationalistic.

It’s because we have the most deaths of any country.

And because we have a manbaby in office who refuses to listen to experts or convey a single shred of empathy to the country. Leadership would help assuage the fear.

Why should this surorise? The media is doing the President's job to inform.

Considering the US has more infections and deaths than any other country in the world, negative coverage is the correct response. This pig doesn't wear lipstick.

Bullshit.

Per capita Spain, Italy, Belgium, the UK all have more deaths than the US. And France is not far behind.

And that's just Europe.
