Over the past eight months, CNN has become the go-to network for alarmist coverage of the coronavirus outbreak, but the anti-Trump channel sang a different tune on Saturday as thousands gathered in cities across the country to celebrate Joe Biden’s election victory.
However, the network’s concerns about the possible spread of the virus were virtually non-existent Saturday.

And suddenly people gathering in large crowds and not social distancing is no longer considered irresponsible by the media https://t.co/JisiiJJr78

How the media shifted so abruptly from "anyone going to a spacious beach is a super-spreading monster killing Grandma" to "these mass, densely populated protests with people screaming on top of each other are so inspiring" was one of 2020's most credibility-destroying media acts: https://t.co/8f0ZGe00iq

This is all perfectly fine because, as we’ve learned, covid is a politically enlightened virus that spares those with the correct ideological leanings https://t.co/groESOv51h

Wondering how media is going to explain away COVID spikes with no Trump rallies anymore. Excited to find out! https://t.co/rSKA97mFb5
