re: #290 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

again, because #TrendingonTwitter is a news item in and of itself, and too many people rely on social media feeds for news and information about anything other than what your friends and family are up to…

This information in this:

Oh my god, CNN is doing a report from Florida, interviewing seniors. Lots of them are saying the Coronavirus scare is overdone. So long as they don’t shake hands, they’re fine going to events with all seniors. Just wow.

from #260 didn’t come from everyone watching Fox. These people were sharing this information.

You rely a bit too much on the idea that the www is causing people to do things they didn’t do before. The statement “A lie can travel half way around the world before truth can get it’s pants on” predates the internet.
