The American Media Should Not Be Trusted


Recommended Posts

 

THE MEDIA’S VAPING ALARMISM HAD LETHAL CONSEQUENCES, NEW STUDY FINDS.

 

FTA:

 

If all one read was mainstream media coverage of the rise of vaping, you’d think it’s a deadly, addictive trend that’s hooking teenagers and killing people by the thousands. 

 

You’d also happen to be wrong.

 

The great panic over “vaping illness” and “vaping deaths” in 2019 was exhibit A of the media’s mythmaking. While tragic, these deaths and illnesses that were used to stir up fear over vaping almost exclusively turned out to be related to black market THC products, not legal vaping products. 

 

While it’s certainly not the healthiest habit, the fact is vaping is nowhere near as bad for you as traditional cigarette smoking. 

 

Yes, it often involves nicotine consumption, but nicotine isn’t what gives you cancer—black tar and the other carcinogens included in traditional cigarettes are what cause cancer. So, vaping doesn’t have most of the health risks associated with smoking. Indeed, public health experts have even estimated that vaping is 95% healthier than traditional cigarette smoking.

 

But, in large part thanks to the media’s panic porn, the public is totally misinformed about this reality. Published in the National Bureau of Economic Research, the aforementioned new study examined the “information shock” created by the media’s misleading, hysterical coverage of the 2019 “vaping-related” illness outbreak.

“We find that after the outbreak, consumer perceptions of the riskiness of e-cigarettes sharply increased, so that in contrast to almost all experts, the majority of consumers perceive e-cigarettes to be relatively and absolutely riskier than cigarettes,” the authors report. 

 

That’s right: The public has it exactly backward. 

 

The study further concludes that the media’s alarmism led to a 30% reduction in demand for e-cigarettes and a 30% decline in their usage for quitting traditional smoking. As a result, the experts report that “the reduced smoking cessation due to the information shock will in turn increase smoking-related illness and death.”

To bolster his claims all you need to do is look at how GG is attacked for pointing this out. The guy is dyed in the wool classic liberal, yet for pointing out the obvious lying and corruption in the legacy media he's branded as a far right winger.

 

It's laughable.  Trump absolutely broke them, just like he did to so many here.

Actually that was al Baghdadi the Commies, er, Dems said that about.  They said something about Soleimani being a charismatic leader.  But yes, they're a joke.

Here is a basic example of how liberal media protects their own, because She is protected Hollywood elite…. obviously NYPost doesn’t mind posting it he incriminating stuff. See if you can spot the differences.  For extra credit look up cnn and see how close it is to MSN’s story.

Ex-NYT Reporter Blows Whistle: ‘Check with Senator Schumer before We Run It’

by David Hawkins

 

Former New York Times reporter Bari Weiss has blown the whistle about the newspaper’s behind-the-scenes ties to the Democratic Party. According to Weiss, the left-wing outlet would “check” with high-level Democrats before running potentially damaging stories. She has spoken out to reveal an internal battle at the paper over an opinion piece submitted by GOP Senator Tim Scott (R-SC). (snip) “The more senior colleague said, ‘Let’s check with Senator Schumer before we run it.’
