The Daily Beast and Business Insider tried to spin the nursing home death of Kristi Noem’s 98-year-old grandmother into a political hitjob, despite the fact that the death was not COVID-related and the nursing home enacted strict protocols for visitors.
“Shameful,” was the reaction of Noem’s policy director Maggie Seidel to National Review.
Daily Beast special correspondent Michael Daly — who has bashed Noem in five articles since August, but has yet to cover New York’s deadly COVID nursing home policy — tried to juxtapose the death of Aldys Arnold with Noem’s “downplaying of the pandemic and her continued refusal to impose a statewide mask mandate.”
“On Monday, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem buried her grandmother, who was among 13 to die over a two-week period at a top-rated nursing home swept by COVID-19,” Daly’s lede reads, before clarifying that Arnold actually tested negative for coronavirus in the second line of the piece.
“The 98-year-old grandmother, Aldys Arnold, is said by Noem’s office to have tested negative for the virus, though no cause of death was given,” he explained (Noem’s office said in an email that Arnold “died in her sleep,” while Daly didn’t return a request for comment on whether he actually reached out for more information)....

In 2016, Döpfner began offering tech luminaries the “Axel Springer Award,” luring Mark Zuckerberg; Jeff Bezos; and Tim Berners-Lee, known as the “founder of the World Wide Web,” to the company’s headquarters, in Berlin, for onstage interviews and coronations. In March, Zuckerberg came back for the company’s executive retreat.
That was a nasty liberal tactic. Some of our more ethical political leaders have simply been trying to avoid scaring their constituents. Many doctors have been doing the same. Eventually, we’ll see more about the long term effects of the disease on those who were more sickened by it.
Hey, we take what precautions we reasonably can, focus on our daily business and avoid worrying.
