Elise @eliserothberg.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Objective journalism is not reporting the same amount of negative things about each side- it’s reporting actual, factual reality. Bias is not showing flaws or asking tough questions- bias is showing the flaws & asking tough questions of one side while forgiving the same behavior in the other. 000

Elise @eliserothberg.bsky.social · 15/06/2026If Covid infections are acknowledged to have life-long consequences for so many then not making changes in air quality & masking is shown as what it is- possibly disabling & even life-threatening. Plus Covid can change the brain so there's a very real chance someone don’t realize they’re affected. 000
