Many in the mainstream media were gawking on Twitter Thursday night about those not wearing masks at the Republican National Convention (RNC) on the White House’s South Lawn. Yet, some were not wearing masks themselves.

At least ten members of the mainstream media took to Twitter to complain about the lack of mask usage at the final night of the RNC on the South Lawn of the White House:

One TV station I watch has several key people advocating mask usage wearing masks with gaps one inch from their nostrils.

Unless vaccination is at hand, mask usage may turn out to be rather ineffective.

“..They are just jealous because creepy joe can’t fill a Starbucks with supporters..”

Well, IF he turned the lights on in the basement, he might be able to get 3-4 to visit him down there....maybe?

The only reason some of the rioters wear masks is so they can’t be recognized. Everybody knows the KungFlu doesn’t spread at mostly peaceful riots.

The media doesn’t even realize that they appear foolish at every turn. The perfect metaphor is standing in front of burning building being looted saying t’s mostly peaceful. The media themselves have created a national joke of this ad themselves.

The lefties had to not wear their masks in order to voice their displeasure at other people not wearing masks.

I watched our local FOX newscasters during the (local) Ft. McHenry portion.

After Pence and as Trump walked up to the podium area, the newscasters began mentioning how there were few masks and not really any distancing....and violating the 25-person gathering limit!

This COVID junk has to stop, as well as the obsession with it for everything but riots.

It's going away. New cases, hospitalizations and deaths all trending downwards. The only thing the media can grasp on to is the occasional expected cluster, typically at colleges where there is .0001% risk.

ABC love this kind of thing - arresting a 76-yr-old!

28 Aug: ABC Australia: Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews suggests stage 3 coronavirus restrictions will be first step after stage 4 lockdown
(scroll down) Police to crack down on ‘tinfoil hat-wearing brigade’
Police have arrested a 76-year-old Windsor man for allegedly planning a protest against coronavirus restrictions in Melbourne’s CBD next weekend.
He was charged with inciting people to breach the Chief Health Officer’s directives and could face a $20,000 fine.

Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius again warned that protests are unlawful under stage 4 restrictions, and anyone who joined them could face serious penalties.
Protesters in Dandenong, in Melbourne’s south-east, have taken to the streets every evening for the last five days against coronavirus restrictions...

Assistant Commissioner Cornelius said the protesters were trying to use exercise as an excuse for protesting when approached by police...
Protesters were “taking every opportunity to leverage the current situation to serve their own ridiculous notions” about conspiracies such as “how 5G is going to kill your grandkids”.
“It’s batshit crazy nonsense,” he said.
“People need to wake up to themselves ... and you need to stop it.
“Just for one moment stop thinking about yourselves and spare a thought for the loved ones of nearly 500 Victorians who have died so far.”

26 Aug: Reuters: Berlin bans protest against coronavirus curbs
by Rene Wagner; Writing by Emma Thomasson
The city of Berlin will put thousands of police on the streets at the weekend to enforce a ban on demonstrations opposing measures imposed to stem the coronavirus pandemic after marchers at a recent rally failed to wear masks or keep their distance.
Andreas Geisel, the Berlin interior senator, said the authorities had decided to ban the protest after weighing up the importance of the right to freedom of assembly with the need to protect people against infection...

Early in the pandemic, Berlin police detained more than 100 people at an unauthorised demonstration against the lockdown. In June, police in the Netherlands detained some 400 people at a protest against social distancing measures.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-germany-protest/berlin-bans-protest-against-coronavirus-curbs-idUSKBN25M1GF

above continues the lie only 20,000 attended 1 Aug “Freedom Day” protest in Berlin. organisers said 1.3m were there. no MSM video-ed or photographed the real crowd:

1 Aug: Herald Mail Media: Berlin police break up rally as 20,000 protest virus restrictions
by Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA)
The organizers of the events said 1.3 million people had attended...
Many carried signs from the places they had come from, and the flags of different German states...
In Stuttgart, the same group has repeatedly demonstrated against the restrictions imposed by the German government to contain the coronavirus and in support of the protection of fundamental rights.
People nationwide were mobilized for the Berlin rally, Berlin Senator Andreas Geisel told RBB radio on Friday evening...

the 5-hr video which now requires signing in which, in the first five minutes, shows crowd north, south, east, west - you can’t see where it ends in any direction. if it wasn’t 1.3m, it certainly wasn’t 20,000:

Well, they have to complain about something. They can’ bring themselves to agree with the evil orange man. My favorite was when a CBS newsie was going on about the fireworks seemingly sounding impressed by them, but ending with “... on government property.” as if to say that they shouldn’t be doing that.

They will complain about every tiny, little detail.

The MSM knows the optics of the RNC Convention was 100X better than the bad Zoom call DNC Convention, so the MSM whines about masks. The game is up. People are tired of the useless masks. They want hope. They want a better future. The RNC Convention offered up that message.
