When dozens of people gathered outside in the White House Rose Garden to hear the announcement that Amy Coney Barrett would be nominated to the Supreme Court, it was instantly called a “super spreader” event by multiple mainstream media outlets. Their wishes were granted when the President and several attendees contracted COVID-19, and since then there have been dozens if not hundreds of articles per day referencing the event as a “super spreader” two weeks after it took place.
Last night, thousands of Los Angeles Lakers fans took to the streets, shoulder to shoulder, many without face masks, and often quite intoxicated with joy, alcohol, and/or other things. Their NBA team had just won their 17th championship title, so the celebration was widely covered across all platforms. But a search on Google for every variation of “super spreader” and “superspreader” revealed something interesting. There has not been a single reference to the event in that manner. Zero.
If the Rose Garden gathering was a “super spreader,” then the LA Lakers celebration represents a mega-huge-gargantuan-apocalyptic-super-spreader. At least a hundred times more people were gathered shoulder-to-shoulder in various places across Los Angeles with many of them not wearing face masks. Social distancing was ignored universally. Out of a couple dozen articles that I read, I found a handful of references to face masks and COVID-19, but at no point was the celebration called a “super spreader” event.
Does celebrating the victory of a sports team make one immune to the coronavirus? Does the NBA and its fans have some secret protection bestowed on them by their very close pals in the Chinese Communist Party? Or, could it be that “super spreader” condemnation is only designated for events that are associated with President Trump, conservatives, or both?
It’s conspicuous how many times gatherings of Trump supporters or conservative protesters are labeled as “super spreader” events while Black Lives Matter or Antifa riots are given a pass. Last night, the Lakers celebration was given a pass as well, as one might expect based on the track record of mainstream media.
By no means am I suggesting that these events are not “super spreaders.” That’s for doctors to decide. But where mainstream media and Democrats are inconsistent is in the way they’re reported and whom they chastise. It’s completely inconsistent and politically lopsided with the fearmongering label issued only when it’s expedient for Democrats to do so. They will virtue signal for candidates like Joe Biden who use social distancing as their excuse for not drawing in the crowds that President Trump does. But their condemnation only heads in one political direction.
We have options. As I’ve noted multiple times in the past, we can and should seek alternative reporting. Avoid mainstream media like they’re liars because, well, they are. And yes, that means Fox News as well. It’s okay to catch Tucker, Hannity, or any of the unambiguously pro-American opinion hosts, but the news side of the channel is, at best, left-leaning. The only thing that keeps them from being abandoned altogether is they’re still slightly better than CNN and MSNBC.
Dozens of people gathering in the Rose Garden is a “super spreader” to mainstream media but thousands of people clumped together in downtown Los Angeles is reported as a harmless celebration. It doesn’t get more disingenuous than that.
COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
