The media is accused of manufacturing "mass hysteria" by focusing on the story of a missing grandmother while ignoring a million deaths in the Russia-Ukraine war and thousands of dead protesters in Iran. This selective reporting is framed as a tactic by corporate media empires to distract the public from significant global tragedies.

Paul Joseph Watson reports on the global reaction to the Omicron variant, noting that the doctor who discovered it described symptoms as "extremely mild." Despite a lack of severe cases or deaths, governments in the UK and Europe have reimposed mask mandates and travel restrictions. Watson argues that the "tyranny of just in case" is being used to maintain population control.

A survey by Kekst CNC found that the average American believed 30 million people had died from coronavirus in the US by August 2020, a figure 225 times higher than the actual toll at the time. Watson argues this is a direct result of corporate news media fanning the flames of hysteria.
