Fox News is reporting on alleged bias at NBC News. They point to two tweets of NBC News that were one hour apart. Notice the difference in reporting on crowd size at a Black Lives Matter protest versus crowd size at the upcoming Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

A little different of a tone, eh?
Twitter users pointed out that it was only in the Trump tweet that mentioned the health risk of attending a rally during a global pandemic. Mark Hemingway, a senior writer at RealClearInvestigations, pointed out the tweets and wrote, “Little over an hour apart.”
Brian Stelter, the CNN anchor, retweeted Hemingway and wrote, “He has a fair, important point. Also: every time a reporter raises health concerns about Trump’s rally in Tulsa, the Trump camp is just going to bring up the recent protests in response…”
The hypocrisy over these gatherings during the pandemic is not limited to NBC News.
Rep. Val Demings, D. Fla., last week, told her Twitter followers that she would join a rally “to speak with our community as America grieves.” A few days later, she came out against Trump’s plan to hold rallies and called the decision “irresponsible and selfish.”
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo had previously lashed out at protesters calling to reopen the state, saying, “you have no right to jeopardize my health … and my children’s health and your children’s health.”
Cuomo said he now “stands” with those defying stay-at-home orders: “Nobody is sanctioning the arson, and the thuggery and the burglaries, but the protesters and the anger and the fear and the frustration? Yes. Yes, and the demand is for justice.”
There have been reports in the news about a potential second lockdown if there is a big second wave. I hate to break it to the powers that be but that is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
There is no chance of compliance with a second lockdown the way there was with the first one. First of all, people are getting a clearer picture of the the real infection fatality rate (.26%). People will make their own risk calculation based on their own health situation and level of risk tolerance. People also see the economic devastation that resulted from the shutdown and will not be eager to destroy the economy again just as we are starting to rebuild.
Finally, people won’t tolerate another stay-at-home order since the orders and social distancing recommendations have been revealed to be easily abandoned and forgotten SJW and Democratic Party causes.
Brace yourselves people for a lot more reporting on the importance of social distancing and avoiding large crowds as the June 20th Trump rally approaches. It’s not an approved liberal cause, so it is very, very dangerous.
