"The goal was to help government achieve its ends and not, in any way, to call into question the policies… policies that were not tested." – Frances E. Lee Six years after COVID-19 upended the world, it's still making headlines - this time through Senate hearings, Fauci's subpoenaed diaries, and a resurgent measles outbreak. Nicholas Muirhead revisits how American newsrooms covered the pandemic, from the rush to brand dissent as misinformation to the reluctance to challenge official messaging - and asks what that era of coverage cost journalism's credibility. Featuring: Amesh Adalja – Infectious disease physician, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security Frances E. Lee – Author, ‘In Covid’s Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us’ Jeanne Lenzer – Investigative medical journalist Producer / Reporter: Nicholas Muirhead Editor: Haim Litani https://www.instagram.com/ajlisteningpost https://www.facebook.com/AJListeningPost https://bsky.app/profile/ajlisteningpost.bsky.social https://x.com/aj
