Media Malpractice The coronavirus is plaguing headlines across the country. Every day seems to bring more bad news about the virus and its impact on the economy. But just how well is the media covering COVID-19 and its impact? To find out, we asked readers about it in our latest Facebook poll. And, well... the news isn't good there either. An overwhelming majority of readers said they have a bad feeling about the media coverage. Reader David M. responded, "The coverage is depressing and conflicting." And reader Bernie T. wrote, "The coverage is simply overwhelming, and often conflicting with lots of misinformation being presented. I'm constantly trying to tune out, but coverage is everywhere." But tuning out is a great idea. And as Alexander Green and Nicholas Vardy frequently tell us, the best antidote to media negativity is a healthy dose of optimism.
