### CBS Fear Porn, Dark Winter Narrative

CBS News coverage is criticized for using "dark winter" and "darkest days" as scripted phrases to describe the pandemic's trajectory. Reports highlight mobile morgues in El Paso and hospitals at "breaking points" in the Midwest. Analysis suggests these reports often ignore the inversion of case rates and death rates, focusing on high case numbers while deaths remain relatively low compared to previous peaks.

A montage of Barack Obama highlights the recurring political trope of calling every election "the most important of our lifetime."
