I've seen the media bias and manipulation in full effect the last two Saturdays.

Indeed, straight out of the playbook of the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda

It’s quite clear on here that some just come on for negative news, how ****ing sad that this very positive news gets ignored.

It's ridiculous isn't it?

I saw two news articles on this yesterday and both included the line that 5000 lives would have been saved in the UK if this treatment had been used from the outset. Let's just ignore that this is a new illness and it takes research and time to establish what it is, what it does and how it can be treated.

It has been very much in the news. Kerr's point is that, in his opinion, too much emphasis has been on the "why has it taken so long? " question, rather than focusing on the good news itself.
A government U-turn on school meal vouchers is a big story. The Rashford involvement is relevant and gives the subject the sort of popularity the public love, very much like the Captain Tom story
