Over there

US news broadcasters are being disrupted by Covid-19. The CBS Weekend News last night came from Fort Worth, after having been shifted to Los Angeles the previous weekend. CBS This Morning has moved out of their New York Broadcast Centre and into the Ed Sullivan Theatre. The theatre normally plays host to the Stephen Colbert Late Show, which, like most network chat shows, has been suspended.

Both Fox and NBC have made their streamed news output free to view.

Are the US news outlets doing a good job ?  A week-long survey of some 8,000 Americans published on Wednesday showed 23% thought Covid-19 had been developed intentionally in a lab, and 6% thought it was the result of a laboratory accident.
