We all have that friend of family member who frequently posts things from some obscure site no one’s ever heard of with the caption “Why Won’t the Mainstream Media Cover This”?<\/p>\n
Of course, everyone with an IQ over 12 knows the answer.\u00a0 Because it’s complete and utter BS.\u00a0 It’s the invention of a sad person longing to get noticed.\u00a0 \u00a0Frequently these tales are only visible by following a specific set of instructions- i.e. using a specific web browser with specific security features disabled.\u00a0 If that isn’t the mother of all red flags I don’t know what is.<\/p>\n
One of the latest examples- the supposed video of a doctor admitting he gave Damar Hamlin a COVID booster the weekend before he collapsed during a Monday Night football game.\u00a0 Total fake.\u00a0 The guy in the video isn’t a doctor, doesn’t live in Buffalo, and has never met Hamlin. Major news outlets didn’t cover it because it obviously a fake, and therefore a nonstory.<\/p>\n
Here are a few more recent gems I’ve happened upon.\u00a0 And no, I’m not making any of these up:<\/p>\n
Why don’t reputable news outlets cover these?\u00a0 Because they are busy covering actual news.\u00a0 You know, things that have actually really happened.\u00a0 Not the rantings of some clown with internet access and free time.<\/p>\n
I’m sorry the guy you liked didn’t win the election.\u00a0 I’m sorry you don’t understand the difference between facts and fantasy.\u00a0 I’m sorry you are so frightened of everything this sort of click bait appeals to you.\u00a0 But finding these “secrets” out and sharing them doesn’t make you a hero.\u00a0 It makes you a laughing stock.\u00a0 It makes you that “crazy uncle” no one takes seriously about anything ever.<\/p>\n
And if that wasn’t enough, going to sketchy sites with questionable browsers\/ settings is a REALLY good way to get 17 different kinds of malware on your computer too.\u00a0 So not only are you a moron for that, but you are a moron who will now need to pay to get that crap off your computer.\u00a0 And when you share poison links you allow more morons to experience the same. Congrats.<\/p>\n
