A couple of days ago our beaches opened up again, to the horror of the fear contingent. Some news sources used a photo of hundreds of people on the beach, not “social distancing,” to criticize our governor for allowing the beaches open. Of course, today it emerges that this was a file photo taken sometime before this, and they knew that perfectly well.

Do you have a website or pointer to those sources? I keep a file of Media Bias photos on Pinterest and would like to add that one.

I’ll check on it,,,I saw it on a local site and a friend of a friend said that it was an earlier photo. I live in Jax, and believe me, people were happy to go back to the beach, but it only opened Friday evening so the photo posted that evening or Saturday am could not possibly have been real. When I first saw the photo it looked familiar to me so I wasn’t surprised to find out that it was from an earlier campaign to criticize De Santis for not shutting the state down immediately. That said, he’s got to go ahead and reopen NOW!

I can’t believe the amount of media manipulation that is going on. Or sadly, I can believe it.
