Dropping Mask Mandates Results In Media Whirling Dervish-like Spin.
When Republicans lessen or eliminate mask mandates, they are portrayed as evil, non-caring dictators. When Democrats lessen or eliminate mask mandates, they are seen as heroic and “following the science.”
If we could only harness the spin from the media, we could have an unlimited energy source.
Even White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki tried to spin the difference with head shaking, mind numbing results:

This type of spin sadly adds to the conspiracy theory that COVID and the response to COVID is politically based and not scientifically based.
It also adds to the distrust that people have of the government in general when parties are put ahead of the people.
