Relying on any news source to tell you what is really happening is a mistake.

I am the "news source" for this information for my community. Like most news sources, I get my information from my city emergency services personnel, county health department and state department of public health and then I relay it daily to my readers. I tried to stop for a few days but people reached out and said it was important to have it.

As I'm sitting here at midnight on a Sunday putting together the news from the weekend, including COVID statistics, so my readers will have it tomorrow when they wake up, I have to tell you that I resent the implication that somehow "news sources" are sitting around trying to manipulate their readers. I, for sure, don't have time to mess with that. I'm hoping to have time to sleep tonight.

My job is to offer people the numbers and what our local health care professionals say about them. How readers use that information is up to them.
