Hey, MSM, have you forgotten about the pandemic?

Just went on several MSM web sites. Hardly anything about the death toll. But lots of repetitive stuff about the riots.

Fine, the civil unrest is news too, and important news, but what about the people who continue dying?

Man, if I were a tin-hatter, I'd be screaming that this whole thing is being orchestrated by that PoS to distract from the pandemic.

2. Everyone has.

If some are correct we should see huge spikes now after all these tightly packed rioters and looters. The actual protesters earlier on seemed to try to distance.

3. I suspect we are going to see a spike in new

Corona virus cases in cities where there were protests and riots.

I noticed that protesters were allowed to get very confrontational in face to face contact with police lines. Protesters, who were often unmasked, were yelling and screaming straight at the police. That has to be worrisome for spreading the virus to the police.

4. This is merely another example of how the news media can only handle one

story at a time. As well as how the news tends to exist without context, and often without any kind of follow up.

For instance, apparently the opioid crisis is completely over. At least I've seen nothing about that little issue in several months.

5. As soon as the riots started, my first thought was...

..."NOW?! Now that Trump keeps falling in the polls and it looked locked-up?! Is this stuff planned?!"

Oh, well. I guess we'll see how it plays out. Maybe a bunch of "law and order" voters will rightfully blame him for the state of affairs?

Trump is dangerous as hell, and he's still got the damn nuclear football. So almost anything is relatively minor to me compared to the prospect of him starting a nuclear war.

7. "the news media can only handle one story at a time" If it bleeds it leads...

dRumph has them where he want's 'em.... He is controlling the narrative and it's not on the virus...

11. The pandemic will be back when the Floyd story becomes tiresome

We have short attention spans here. In a few weeks nobody will be talking about George Floyd. Case in point, anyone heard Ahmaud Arbery’s name come up this week? Me neither. Two weeks ago that murder was big doings. Celebrities doing tributes, people jogging in tribute. Now? Not so much.

12. Or when people have run out of stuff to loot.

I saw morons on social media talking about taking the LA protests from downtown to Rodeo Drive because, why not?

13. I have seen it mentioned several times, for the same reason I am worried.

 

This protesters are screaming without masks on, touching everything- there will be hell to pay.
