Today's Downing St briefing showed again how clone-like & unquestioning so much of the media have been in 2020. The whole section could have been replaced by playing a recording of someone asking the same inane & shallow question/virtue signalling statement again &again &again...

How about asking for an explanation of this old chestnut: Why do countries with very different measures not have much larger differences in outcomes? https://twitter.com/RuminatorDan/status/1299096163606556672?s=20

How about asking for the logic behind the idea of keeping R below 1 for long periods? https://twitter.com/RuminatorDan/status/1331940747952746497?s=20

How about asking why immunity was seemingly forgotten? https://twitter.com/RuminatorDan/status/1323324897796435968

How about going back to those dim & distant days of early 2020 to reexamine the assumptions & predictions that were used as justification for all of this? (The biggest question of all imo.) https://twitter.com/RuminatorDan/status/1330467177430913024?s=20

In fairness, I know there is also some good journalism going on & I applaud that. I'm also aware that there are guidelines in place affecting things. But please, do your jobs. If you you really did, you could be even more important than some of you already seem to think you are.
