It's a good question. I'll let you be which ever the better-looking was, and I'll be the other.

Most journalists graduate from journalism school. In my home state, UNC tried to hire the author of the 1619 project *into the journalism department*... A lot of these people think men can get pregnant. That's not a trivial thing. You have to completely abandon reality to believe that.

On top of that, there are powerful incentives in media to stay away from the Covid response (including the vax). Since a lot of companies mandated it, this extends into almost every industry, not just pharma.

The people in news rooms are not just incentivized to keep from stepping on corporate toes, they are literally selected and trained to repeat whatever falsehood is told to them, no matter how patently absurd.

The rabbit hole is deep.
