HOWEVER, FanOfOurForebears, unless I misunderstood it, your post seems to have essentially nothing to do with COVID-19 and is instead about freedom of the press. Am I wrong?
Hi M T. I believe when it comes to a new illness and the Government's response to it, a free and independent press is essential to guard against tyranny and propaganda. I don't follow all that is in the media as much as others. So far, based solely upon the opinions on the American media I have received from those who follow how it has reported on Covid-19, I now question how free and independent it is. I sure hope it is and continues to be free and independent, but from what I have heard from others there appears to be some valid concerns, hence the topic of this post when it comes to its coverage of all things Covid-19. Thanks for your being the first to welcome me to the board.
