Hypocrisy rules...

"Cuba Spreading Corona"
Only Trump rallies received massive Corona condemnation
by the Media, not Dem-Left's violent 2020 protests...

Media outlets are fretting about protests in Cuba exacerbating the
spread of COVID-19, concerns that were strangely absent during months
of violent Black Lives Matter demonstrations.

Reuters and other outlets amplified a warning by the Pan American
Health Organization (PAHO), which said that Cubans and tourists
visiting the Caribbean nation should avoid protest crowds, wear masks
and wash their hands regularly.

“The gathering of individuals for protests… increases the risk of
transmission, in particular in cases such as Cuba where you have
active transmission in many areas over the last week and 34,244 new
cases reported,” said Dr. Ciro Ugarte, PAHO’s director of health
emergencies.

Respondents pointed out that Reuters offered nothing but enthusiastic
praise when BLM mass gatherings took place across the United States
last year during the height of the pandemic and didn’t seem bothered
about the protests spreading COVID.

The media is following the lead of the Biden White House in seemingly
valuing concerns about COVID over and above the uprising against
Cuba’s tyrannical Communist government.

As we highlighted earlier, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki
avoided the issue of whether Cuban protesters were fighting Communism,
instead avoiding the question and claiming they were protesting
against “government mismanagement.”

Senator Marco Rubio has called on the Biden administration to issue a
vehement denunciation of “this communist, this Marxist, this socialist
tyranny,” saying that America should be “clear about whose side we’re
on.”

Don’t expect that to happen any time soon. Psaki is more likely to
chastise the demonstrators for not wearing masks.
