    I will agree it has been politicized in part.

    I'm not sure the Wuhan has been politicized as much as it just gets reported on by people who are no longer capable of actually reporting the news, but instead look at and report everything through a partisan prism, or in some cases, not even a partisan prism as much as an orangeman bad prism. There's just nothing they view as beyond politics, and if they don't t hink it has an implication for politics, they no longer think of it as newsworthy.

    I think another issue is we have reporters who absolutely do not understand the topics. When journalism was much better in the past, you would never have a random reporter interpreting the science. They would get the info, contact someone to help translate it for them into understandable language, and then report. Some publications actually hired journalists who specialized in fields so they had a better understanding of the topic. With instant reporting, that is gone. So our dumb ass reporters who can't even get names and dates right half the time are now giving instant interpretation of what they are hearing - and they get stuff wrong.
