I've decided to stop reading all news coverage and directly go to sources so I listen to Cuomo's daily update, my own state's updates, and the US task-force. If I want news, I primarily go to NPR and Reuters.

Outside of these two, all the news outlets are absolutely horrible. Here are examples of news that are there to instigate more hate than about providing facts:

"NYC HOSPITAL CHIEF CALLS U.S. NAVY SHIP'S CORONAVIRUS RELIEF EFFORTS 'A JOKE' AS HUNDREDS OF BEDS LAY EMPTY AMID CRISIS" or
"Disaster-hero general rips Jared Kushner over coronavirus stockpile"

On the US taskforce calls, a reporter kept pushing on what did Jared mean "our" stockpiles. Or on a Cuomo update, a reporter kept pushing on what Trump said and kept probing on how he felt about it.

Does the media think that people actually care about this stuff?

Is anybody else sick of the media's coverage? How did it get so bad?

There are plenty of good sources, and there are even more bad sources. That hasn't changed due to Covid-19. I'm listening to the same sources I was and ignoring the same media outlets and discredited individuals I have for years...
