Eric Boehlert, Writer and Publisher of Pressrun.media, is tired of the media indulging the anti-vaxxer narrative by producing countless stories about people who will “lose” their jobs if they don’t get vaccinated and their employers are now requiring it. Eric sees mainstream media embracing conspiracy and misinformation, choosing to paint these people as rational humans, instead of people who are walking away from steady income. They could also be lifting up the alternative: those who might have struggled to gain employment in the past, but are now vaccinated and still searching, might have an easier time now. In other unfortunate news, outlets like the Washington Post still feel compelled to talk with Trump supporters, despite the fact that he’s no longer president, which is an unprecedented move in the history of reporting on former presidents (spoiler alert: they didn’t do that before). Eric also takes time to touch on the subject of Colin Powell and explains why his infamous 2003 presentation at the United Nations to move forward with the invasion of Iraq, and the reporting that followed, marked the beginning of the media embracing misinformation.
