This is the front page of Saturday's Washington Post with March on Washington at the center. There's not a word on the front here (pre-jump) lecturing about how thousands were on the Mall and were not socially distanced.
It's like the media don't truly care about COVID measures.
Well, look at that!! Paragraph 12 mentions and condemns the lack of social distancing....at the White House Thursday night, NOT the March on Washington
Ah, paragraph 31 wants us to know that it was ALL above board and, I guess because the virus likes the BLM movement, this kind of event is allowed. Even though fever isn't the guaranteed indicator we thought and just masks doesn't mitigate risk, temperature checks made it safe!
This was the photo and accompanying caption of the page after the jump. Note how approving it is of the massive crowd and not one negative word about how tightly packed they are
Meanwhile, there was this half-page article in the middle or Friday's Post
Here's the lede graph of that story. "Jarring contrast with a nation that is still widely shut down over gears of the coronavirus pandemic whose spread remains uncontrolled."
Ohhhh. So big events are "jarring?" Then why not use that for your lead story the next day on the March?
Back to Saturday...here's the story on the next page after the lead one about the March.
Amazingly, COVID-19 doesn't come until the second to last graph (#31).
