We don't play the game, and we survive in spite of it. No news agency tries to do what we do. Reject the advertisers, you're kidding. Accept less profit, yeah right. These things do not happen. We survive hence we move the goalposts. No longer can the main-stream-media assume that their way is the only way.
Get serious about this, it's real.

Inside GM's Race to Build Ventilators, Before Trump's Attack
Neal E. Boudette and Andrew Jacobs, The New York Times

EXCERPT:
The crew was part of a crash effort to make tens of thousands of ventilators, the lifesaving machines that keep critically ill patients breathing. The machines are in desperate demand as hospitals face the prospect of dire shortages. New York State alone may need 30,000 or more.
President Trump on Friday accused G.M. and its chief executive, Mary T. Barra, of dragging their feet on the project and directed his administration to force the company to make ventilators under a 1950s law. But accounts from five people with knowledge of the automaker’s plans depict an attempt by G.M. and its partner, Ventec Life Systems, a small maker of ventilators, to accelerate production of the devices.

Significance of Pangolin Viruses in Human Pandemic Remains Murky
James Gorman, The New York Times
Gorman writes: "Pangolins, once suspected as the missing link from bats to humans in the origin of the coronavirus pandemic, may not have played that role, some scientists say, although the animals do host viruses that are similar to the new human coronavirus."

EXCERPT:
Peter Daszak, the president of EcoHealth Alliance, an organization that works on animal-to-human spillover diseases, said that accumulating evidence on pangolins made it “doubtful that this species played a role in the outbreak.”
“We need to keep looking for the original reservoir” — likely a bat,” he said, adding that the potential intermediate host would likely be another mammal species that’s more widely traded in the Yunnan-to-Wuhan corridor of China
