Yesterday, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that she would be reinstating the indoor masking mandate, requiring that everyone over age 2 wear a mask.
Julie Zauzmer ~ News: DC will again require masks in all indoor settings, starting Saturday. Mayor Bowser’s order will apply to everyone over age 2, vaccinated or unvaccinated.
Aside from essentially discouraging unvaccinated residents to get vaccinated, it also highlighted Bowser’s shockingly slippery grasp on priorities. Because while COVID19 deaths in our nation’s capital are way down:
Richard Morrison ~ The NYT Covid death tracker reports that D.C.'s 7-day death average is literally 0.0, and yet the mayor is re-imposing a mandatory mask rule, even for *fully vaccinated* people. Wut?
Violent crime is showing no signs of slowing down.
So it seems both fair and reasonable for the media to point this out. That’s what Fox News is doing.
And the Daily Beast’s Justin Baragona apparently has a big problem with that:
Justin Baragona ~ How Fox News is covering the pandemic today.
Yeah, how dare Fox News correctly point out that as of late, more people in D.C. have been murdered than have died of COVID19.
jimtreacher.substack.com ~ And?
Stephen L. Miller ~ I mean ... yeah?
Noam Blum ~ With accurate numbers?
Justin Hart ~ You mean ... with accuracy?
Yosef H ~ What's the problem with this? Is it false?
No, but it’s inconvenient. And that’s much, much worse.
Mark ~ OMG objective data. What a terrible thing for a media outlet to do!
Wittorical ~ Shame on them for Perspectives Against the Narrative!
The Partyman ~ If they keep reporting inconvenient facts, some people might not even be willing to let the government control their lives. How is this legal?
Justin Baragone will not stand for that sort of media malpractice.
1313B ~ I guess you prefer networks that say it’s easier to buy an AR-15 than it is to vote.
That’s Real Journalism™.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
