Let’s stop interviewing celebs with uninformed opinions & no healthcare training about vaccines.
@Sheril
Completely in line with interviewing totally uninformed ppl about the climate crisis. Checks out.
@Sheril Let's make actual experts with experience into well-compensated, respected celebrities! Public school teachers and librarians, too, while we're at it!
@Sheril Agreed, though given that celebs have the visibility, do any programs exist to provide education and talking points for them (that they'd actually attend)?
@Sheril you mean Ted Nugent is not a medical expert? He diagnosed my cat scratch fever!

@Sheril

When presented with photos of their tribal members, chimpanzees will spend more time on the photos of their tribal leaders.

@Sheril
Shocking lies are more profitable than the truth. Or can help push an underlying agenda.

Biased interviews allow a "news" source to avoid accountability.

@Sheril

"Let’s stop interviewing celebs with uninformed opinions."

FIFY

@Sheril
I think that the media should ask Robert Kennedy Jr. about his addiction to heroin instead of his thoughts on medical science.
@GreenFire @Sheril At least he has some measure of expertise with heroin.
@Sheril We should just stop interviewing all people who aren't doctors about vaccines.
@Sheril
Republican in Disguise RFK Jr. should also take a damn hike.
@south_lib @Sheril there’s a disguise?🥴 Maybe at some point, but it’s all gone now!
@Sheril @GreenFire Yep. Science, facts and data are not about popularity.
@Sheril I think "Let's stop interviewing celebs with uninformed opinions & no training." suffices.
@Sheril I thought....I thought we stopped doing that long time ago
@Sheril
Let’s stop interviewing celebs 🥱

@Sheril but I won’t get any viewz /s
@Sheril but, then how would they get their daily validation that they're just better than us normies?
@Sheril Let's stop worshipping people in entertainment industry and start putting the spotlight on people like teachers, doctors, plumbers, construction workers, farmers, engineers, sanitary workers, etc.
@Sheril But I already wasn't doing that!
@Sheril
Copy and paste this statement to climate change.
Sick of ppl without any real knowledge being given a bigger mic than the actual experts.
(honestly copy and paste to really any big ticket issue )
@Sheril If we had a standardized way to link factual corrections to content, then spouting nonsense in interviews could have consequences via lowered reliability on the area.
