- Is the government pursuing herd immunity through mass infection?
There's lots of blatantly false, misleading and disingenuous journalism out there, much more deserving of being called Fake News, not least in UK print media.“A statement will be forthcoming about whether or not it will be extended beyond that,” a spokesperson told The Independent.
There is indeed. But it's the routine manipulation of truth by the media that inures us to the more egregious falsehoods: When presented with opinions framed as a questions ("is the government...?") or speculative expressions such as "could be", we tend to hear them as statements of fact.
