Doesn't matter, the narrative is already established. The truth doesn't matter, all that matters is gaslighting the normies immediately after an event into believing the narrative so that they will disregard anything that dismantles the narrative after the media blitzkrieg.
When it comes to public discourse, if you are on the defensive (even if you are 100% right and the attacker is completely wrong), then you instantly lose the battle. That is why the media never defends, they just obfuscate and then attack the non-existent strawmans. "This country is filled with anti-science sexists, that is why Fauci is receiving so much negative attention!"
another reason they love the shutdowns and distancing. If your only source of info is MSM and you can't ever gather and hear that you aren't the only one who thinks it's BS, you start feeling really lonely really quick. Also if you don't have anyone question the narrative while it is forming in your mind, it becomes fact internally and almost impossible to question after the fact.
