I mean it is a legitimate reaction people are having, it's not surprising the standard outlets pick up on these type of stories because they do push for the outcome of getting people to vaccinate.

I think these mass distributed stories work against the movement.

I’m looking at these stories, wondering why they’re running a story about a guy in NC when local Nebraskans are dying. Why aren’t they covering the local story?

Why is it cross posted across local news outlets.

Just lazy journalism or a concerted message. Feels gross either way. And not pursuasive. At all.

It’s much quicker and easier to run a story from AP than to hire your own journalists.

Could be innocent laziness.

But since it’s a critical subject, the coordinated messaging feels like a propaganda piece.

This is coming from someone who is vaccinated.

Not really laziness; it's about cost and feasibility. Syndicated reporting is nothing new and nothing that'd have come with covid.
