Media Obsessed with Who is "Behind" Shutdown Protests

Warner Todd Huston observes:

The media is falling all over itself to track down "who is behind the social distancing protests." Gee, have you EVER seen them do stories on who is "behind" abortion protests, or women's day protests, or school protests?

Ah, but we must EXPOSE the evil conservatives "behind" these small government protests. Why, we all know that all the lefty protests are just nice folks spontaneously gathering to be good Americans. Heck, there could never be anyone "behind" that!

1 One might indeed wonder who is behind the idea that the media are all a bunch of worthless hacks, who are largely responsible for the fact that the whole news industry is going to pot -- and no, I don't mean the kind they smoke. When you see that little piss-pot Jimmy Acosta asking Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, if his recent re-tooling of all his assembly lines to make coronavirus masks instead of his usual pillows, pillowcases, bedsheets, etc., was just a publicity stunt, how can you have any respect for his calling?

2 Amen Dana. We don't have a media anymore. We have a bunch of publicity-seeking fools and partisan activists. The "media" is now better described by the internet term "influencer".

3 Hmmm.. Yes, I agree. At least, that's what they see their role to be. Thank the Lord that not all of us agree with them.
