Journalists’ posturing unmasks elitist agenda of mainstream media

As the country begins to open back up and cast off the dark pall of the coronavirus, many in the media are determined to promote fear and anxiety. So hysterically obsessed with the effort are they that they have become careless and their many deceptions are exposed in plain sight.

During a Memorial Day broadcast, MSNBC’s Cal Perry reported in from Lake Geneva, Wisc. His mission was to illustrate how irresponsible the citizens were being, walking around and enjoying themselves without masks.

Perry, wearing an ornate purple mask stood alongside the lake amidst the foot traffic of the unmasked Wisconsinites.

“That’s the situation here,” he miffed to news anchor Katy Tur. “There doesn’t seem to be any social distancing and not a lot of care when it comes to the coronavirus, Katy.”

Tur, looking both inquisitive and bewildered, responded, “So, are the people there just not worried about it, Cal? Are they not worried about their own personal safety?”

“I haven’t met anybody who is,” responded Perry who then singled out an unmasked man lingering near the broadcast.

“You can see here nobody is wearing them. Nobody is.” Then the man interrupted. “Including your cameraman,” he shot back at Perry.

“There you go. Including the cameraman. Katy?” Perry said, throwing his hands up in acknowledgement and beseeching Tur to take the heat off him.

Before MSNBC could cut away, the unmasked man is heard saying, “Half your crew is not wearing them.”

Indeed. A report by MSNBC on how dangerous and deadly a location had become due to the lack of protective masks but the broadcast crew could not be bothered to wear them themselves. It was pure theater.

Similar cases have been popping up all over social media and undoubtedly there are more to come.

CNN’s Gary Tuchman also reported from Trump Country to lecture the locals about their carelessness as he walked along the beach in Gulf Shores, Ala.

“Do you have any concerns about being at the beach with so many people?” he asked a woman sunbathing.

“Not at all,” she answered. When Tuchman pressed her on why she was not in fear of catching the virus from a fellow beachgoer, the woman explained, “Because there’s enough wind and air and it’s going to clear it all out of here.”

But the CNN reporter was not having it.

“But the wind and the air don’ t clear it away, there’s no proof of anything like that. There’s wind and air everywhere in this world,” lectured Tuchman, in the piece titled “CNN reporter debunks beachgoers’ coronavirus theories.”

In fact, Tuchman was wrong. Professor Linsey Marr, a professor at Virginia Tech who specializes in the airborne transmission of infectious diseases, told the New York Times, “The good news is that the virus dies off relatively quickly in direct sunlight. There’s often some wind at the beach, which really helps disperse the virus particles in the air.”

CNN has been on a mask mission for weeks.

Earlier this month, CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, who has criticized the Trump administration for not wearing masks, was caught on video at the end of the crowded White House press briefing removing hers as soon as the cameras turned off.

Many in the establishment media are using this virus as a convenient avenue to propagandize against President Trump and his supporters. It is classist, elitist and dangerous.

Let us hope that if the American people see it and call it out enough that the establishment journalist class change their ways.

The public deserves at least that much.
