While anabolic steroids can cause heart problems they do not cause this type of heart problem. Source: my cardiologist who treats me for one issue that puts me at risk for myocarditis. I take anti-inflammatory steroids from time to time, so I asked about them: they're fine for my issue, and are actually used to treat myocarditis. And because I'm a curious person, I said "what about anabolic steroids?" And the response was: "don't take them, even if prescribed for something like low testosterone, because they can cause additional heart problems, though not make yours (my) any worse"

That's a false dichotomy. I wouldn't recommend that either. But the media treatment of covid, specifically with regard to treatment with hydroxychloroquine is biased and completely out of touch with how medical experts consider it. If you've been getting for information from the media on that topic you almost certainly have the mistaken impression that it is not effective nor in wide use. The reality might surprise you.

I think they just want Trump to be wrong so badly that they're blind to the alternative. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

The media in general is a shadow of what it once was. Good journalism is very nearly dead. That has serious repercussions for both society and democracy.
