"War is good for business" is doubly true for news companies.

Just see how they just yoinked almost 100% of airtime once the first lockdown was in place.

are the media that desperate ? are they thristing so much for content that they just staight up make stuff that is VERY debunkable ? or are they trying actually feed denial conspirators so they can make more news when they grow because they feeded them ? why ?

In all seriousness tho : I think this is more a testament of how much of a rush the media is in that they are not even checking stuff or making stuff up , they just grab whatever they get.
