Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is facing intense scrutiny after announcing that his agency is officially investigating “chemtrails”. While scientists emphasize that the lines in the sky are harmless water vapor, the nation’s top health official claims aircraft emissions are secretly masking toxic chemicals—bringing a long-debunked conspiracy theory straight into federal policy. Dr. Debra Houry, a former chief medical officer at the CDC who resigned in protest over Secretary Kennedy’s actions and decisions, tells Erin Burnett RFK, Jr. needs to focus on real contributions to chronic disease, not conspiracy theories.
I would think an awful lot would change if the business model around most media (news, movies, TV) were different.
But, as it is, I think most media really tip-toes around things that may make the ignorant uncomfortable, since they want to sell soap and boner pills to those people as well. Zeus forbid those people were to be told their beliefs were wrong.
Allowing advertising during the news really broke everything.
It turned into chasing viewership for revenue instead of providing the national service that being granted a broadcasting license required in return.
