    “noted that networks tend to focus their coverage of the pandemic in states run by Republicans, like Florida, while disregarding equally troubling Covid-19 numbers in predominantly blue states, such as Illinois.


    “Last week, Illinois reported 15,415 cases in a single day, more than Florida ever did in a single day. This is despite Illinois’ population being 40% lower,” Gu wrote on Tuesday. “Many of you probably did not know the dire situation in Illinois. That’s because no mainstream media chose to report it.”

    “Here is how the media chose to report Illinois now (left) vs Florida in July (right). Unfortunately, no national news outlet is covering the situation in Illinois,” he continued.


    “No other state has ever averaged 12,000 cases a day for a whole week. Not even Florida (1.7x pop), California (3x pop), and Texas (2.3x pop),” he wrote. “For deaths per capita, Illinois also exceeded the peak deaths in Florida twice, once in May and once again now. So why is this not news?””

    The mainstream media bias is blatant on this issue. They accentuate every negative stat or event in red states while minimizing or not even mentioning comparable or worse stats in blue ones. They deny that things are as bad as they are in lockdown NY, Ca., Illinois while making things seem worse than they really are in places like Florida, SouthDakota, and Texas.

    Those must be the same make believe "scientists" who agreed with the Trumpocity that this Virus was a fake. Why are you quoting a gang of phony baloney "scientists" ?

    Democrat scientists don't even know how many genders there are. The virus is a hoax. All a plot to enslave America. To many Americans have lost everything do to the hoax and want revenge.

    The liberals also like to point to Florida and its case numbers and play up politicization by pointing out Florida has a Republican governor ---- while neglecting to mention that something like 40% of Florida's deaths, and the state's biggest hotbed, was in three heavily Democratic southern counties (Dade, Brevard, Palm Beach) out of 67 counties statewide. So much for any type of intellectual honesty from the folks looking to politicize COVID :roll:
