WHY DOES THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PAY SO MUCH ATTENTION TO CPAC?

CPAC has started again, and if you read political sites or follow politics journalists on Twitter, you're seeing a lot of coverage -- much more than there'd be for a Democratic analogue to CPAC, if one existed. (Netroots Nation is close, but it's not the same.) Why the fascination with CPAC? I think it derives from the GOP's highly successful, decades-long effort to persuade the mainstream media that Republicans are the normative Americans. The establishment press has internalized this notion even though most elite journalists wouldn't want to *be* Republicans. After watching them s...

Did COVID-19 Kill The Anti-vax Movement?
Hank Campbell, Science 2.0 blogs - 13 hours ago
In past years there has been ongoing concern that not enough people got the annual flu vaccine. Some of it was laziness, some of it was lack of education. There were few outright deniers that flu was a problem. Instead, it seemed to be the opposite. If someone had a bad cold they still said they had the flu, and some said they think they might have the flu, which led most doctors to remind people that if you think you have the flu, you don't have the flu. The real vaccine *deniers* were more coastal elites who believed a discredited former doctor, Andrew Wakefield, who was interest...
