Utterly ridiculous! Conservatives have lost trust in the gov't and the media because we keep catching them lying to us. I think liberals still want to believe in the media and they definitely want gov't that carries out their desires to be trusted, but even a few of them have figured out some things via the Bernie experiences. But the gov't and especially media have no one to blame but themselves for the mistrust.
And this current virus panic will only add to that. Once it's past and done, people will look back and realize all this overreaction was silly. The problem is it's the boy who cried "Wolf!" scenerio. Sure, some might try to make the case that it's better to overreact rather than not and wish you had. But that's not the real world nor is it logical. In the real logical world, people will remember how the media pushed overreaction this time and will not take them seriously next time. Once again, the liberal media becomes their own worst enemy.
