[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 992682, member: 56232"] I think Trump, Johnson and a lot on the right have a lot to answer for. For years they have been hammering away saying the media and establishment cannot be trusted, it's all "project fear", all "fake news", they have been priming people to ignore anything that does not fit their pre-conceived views. Now we have a crisis and everyone does anything EXCEPT what the actual advice is. People need to be held to account for the war that was waged against official sources. I heard people dismissing this as media hype to just get at Johnson / Trump too many times. Even as the crisis started to hit in the USA, Trump was trying to politicise it saying the fall in the markets was down to fear of Democrats, the numbers were lies, it's all fake news and will go away. The whole ******* thing has been politicised [/QUOTE]
