Note 1: The BBC Disease has Gone Ozzo. (It's catching.)
'Rich and powerful people will tell you anything to help them stay rich and powerful; and their armies of media stooges, PR companies, and social media influencers are no better than Vichy puppets.'
The BBC is not on your side regarding C-19: on the radio, on your TV, or on its website.
It really isn't.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
Even The Clangers were made up.

The steady infusion of deliberate media smog, a sick global economy and increasingly desperate capitalist politicians makes for a toxic drip-bag.

215 years ago, 'fiery pamphlets, lectures and caricatures' fear-mongered against the vaccine for smallpox - a disease killing 400k people annually across Europe. Hmm.

Or that offices in Central Urbia were finding it extremely difficult to justify exhorbitant rents to their accountants?

Life was far, far too comfortable and predictable in the rich North for most to want to give it up. They had begun to rely on self-centredness as central to that Me First feel. Try to spin a generational change around on a 2p piece, and see what you get.
'The whole thing [is] a hatchet job.'
The Big Media have done this before.
"The news machine was our bludgeon; the newsletter and our unorthodox operations" - today's Twitter, Fvckbook, IG and TikTok - "our stiletto."

It was a playbook. After the big four decided to close ranks and let it rip, all of the other wannabe capitalist countries closed up shop and threw out their quarantines and chucked their mask mandates. Nobody wanted to be the odd one out.

Tell me Nick Triggle, 'Health Correspondent' for the BBC, isn't a stooge.
Tell me again why Nick Triggle, 'Health Correspondent' for the BBC, isn't a stooge.
He's a paid-for-clickbait shill: pro-spread, anti-mask - and anti-NHS.

Oh, wait.

The Telegraph confounds culture with science, branding evidence-based C-19 scientists as 'hardline' in the ongoing political and economic battle for the UK's hearts and minds.
What The Telegraph misses, The Daily Mail hits. It's like an Idiot Sandwich.
'I think people know, deep down, that Covid-19 is not the 'flu. They know it can cause harm. They're seeing it happen to friends and family.
But they think it's inevitable; that there's no point fighting it.
People aren't tired of trying; they've been conned into giving up.'

"We cannot continue to treat this as an emergency. [People] will just stop listening."

New politician-in-chief; official recession; the NHS in tatters.

Misinfo and disinfo - media bullshitspeak - carries on apace on both sides of the pond.
We're back to the 'flu play.
The claim that 'flu kills more people than C-19 - in the US, or Canada, or the UK - is simply, and wildly, wrong.
It's a colossal lie.

Propaganda surrounding Covid-19 has form: anything that hurts the deepest pockets will be attacked. Before Covid-19 it was climate change; before climate change, it was tobacco.
