Amazing Polly - Who Do You Trust?

"There are two competing narratives of the you know what. One is being pushed by people who are, by my estimation, untrustable. The other side of the story, buried by mainstream media & social media giants, is being represented by people on the ground who are risking everything to speak sense into this chaotic and insane panic".  Amazing Polly

Pretty much everyone seems to have put their trust in the wrong people - politicians, scientists, "advisors", news readers and other talking heads on the idiot box in the corner of the room . . .  and failed to trust the people they actually know, friends and family, if these people's views differ from the accepted narrative, because they apparently don’t have the credentials that make them believable.

What's up with that?
