I just picked up a comment on a friend's Facebook and remembered your question here. Take a look.

apparently paper factory in China or Japan is shut down because of viruses. No toilet paper being made.

____ bastard.


There's video of Trump directly defending the decision to disband pandemic response when taking press questions at the time it happened, by the way. This generated some news at the time. I'm pretty sure I criticized it on this board, though I'm not sure I would be able to find that post with our search engine.

Caught this from Matthew Yglesias. Two NYT corona virus stories:

Donald Trump lies about the US government's bungled pandemic response while spreading misinformation and making promises that were immediately shown to be false. He does this appearing to have an elementary student's ability to read a teleprompter.

"Trump voices New Concerns and Old Themes"

Biden's team has trouble getting some videoconferening software to work before he delivers a competent address.

"Lol, look at bungling Biden."

Headlines have a major impact on how people interpret the news. You'd think it's because a lot of people just read the headlines and skim the rest. It's that, but even when you sit people down in an experimental setting and have them read full articles, research consistently finds that how headlines are shaded has a large impact on how people interpret what follows.
