The Covid fear-porn narrative will turn out to have suppressed election day Democratic turnout (because Democrats _believe_ mass media narratives.
It is also crippling Democratic canvassing and other voter mobilizing efforts.
Think of the mass media as white southern sheriffs with German shepherds keeping terrified Democratic voters away from the polls.
Wait until they find out what they have done!
I hope you’re right with respect to fear porn affecting only Democrats. I attend a large, independent Bible church in the northern Dallas suburbs with a very well known pastor. Masks are recommended but not mandatory. Yet over 90% of church attenders wear masks in the church lobby. This is a church where Trump bumper stickers are on several cars. Too many of the members of my church have bought the MSM narrative.
