It's clear now why I'm not surprised that trumpies who only watch faux news are as ignorant as they are. SO just spent the last 20 minutes switching back and forth between faux and cnn. (Why I allowed myself to participate, I'm not sure beyond the fact that I was dealing with the evening's dishes...) One channel was nonstop pressing absurd conspiracy theories that china intentionally caused covid-19 (admittedly most intelligent people long ago figured out that tucker carlson isn't really a very bright or honest person...), the other was soberly discussing how we recover from this and move forward.
