I haven't made up my mind because most media outlets have conflicting information. That was why I posted the comment.

I mean, it doesn't help when you hear stories like the one posted on Reddit too. Of course it makes you think things like "why wouldn't they test him? Is it because they want to keep the registered cases down or is it because there's not enough tests to go around or maybe it's because the tests aren't accurate?".

These are questions I have as someone who isn't working at the CDC and I'm sure other regular citizens are thinking the same. I thought the media's responsibility was to take information from experts and present that information without bias to people who are not experts in the matter.

The media's job is to take attention from people who are not experts in the matter and present it to advertisers.

Media which doesn’t have advertisers to care about, what’s their job?

If not advertisers, there's someone else giving them money. Everyone's job, media or not, is to appease the person who can decide they receive more or no more money.
