Chart: The Media’s Ebola Coverage Vanishes

No, it’s not your imagination; media coverage of Ebola has evaporated.

According to a new report from Media Matters, cable news channels and broadcasters aired nearly 1,000 segments on Ebola during the month prior to the election, but have only aired 49 total segments over the last two weeks following the election.

Where were you when the fake crisis ended?

To say that they stopped covering Ebola because it’s no longer a serious issue would be a misnomer because it was never a serious issue. Ebola is a very serious and lethal virus, but it was never a threat to the general public in the way news organizations and politicians led people to believe.
