The hypocrisy on the part of the political left and Covid-19

We're dealing with essentially Shrodinger's Covid.
One does not know if one needs a mask or not until one finds out if an event is on the political left or right.
Political left wants to riot in the street in the thousands? Mask: optional. Covid isn't really a problem.
Trump rally? Holy shit, stop spreading the covid!
This is the SAME website. Fuck these hypocrites.
I could do this with basically every major media news source with few exceptions. Sad.

Most protesters wear masks.
You'd probably get made fun of if you wore a mask at a trump rally.
Big difference

I wouldn't say most. Half at best. (And even then, even pro-maskers never claimed it stops the spread, only slows it.)
It's not enough for justify such polarized hypocrisy on the media' part.

I’ve been to multiple protests and the folks there wear masks more frequently than any store I’ve visited in the same timeframe.
But thanks for the tired ass take of “oh the left wants to protest police brutality as if that’s more important than going to Applebee’s” that’s been spouted hundreds of times.
Quite the intellectual trailblazer.

Lmao! “It’s not 51% it’s clearly 50%.”
Here’s 4 pictures which is clearly a legitimate sample size for months of global protests.

I think you're missing a big part of the equation, though. Wearing a mask when you go to the grocery store is a no-brainer. Is it worth risking covid to protest the death of someone at the hands of the police? That's a completely different calculation.
Or maybe you think that grabbing some cold cuts is just as important as stopping the murder of black people by cops? Perhaps even more important?
Your rhetoric is largely impotent anyway, but if you're going to try to argue some broad generalizations about the "political left," you should at least attempt to be intellectually honest.

This thread has nothing to do with whether or not masks work.

If you’re outside risk of transmission is extremely low. With masks it’s almost nil. There has been no discernible protest related increase in cases. Here in DC we’ve had protests every day, but nearly everyone wears a mask. New cases are averaging under 50 a day. Compare that to Tulsa, a city half the size which saw ~500 In one day.
Why can’t trump just have an outdoor rally and require masks? It’s just silly that he has relatively safe options but he refuses to take them.
I took this picture at the big march back in early June. Almost total mask compliance.

Stop fucking whining about hypocrisy. It’s not the same thing. Trumps indoor maskless rallies and outdoor masked protests have very little in common.

It’s becoming abundantly clear that masks are extremely effective at preventing transmission.
It’s likely that less than 3% of infections are acquired in an outdoor setting

Ever hear the term, some things are worth dying for?
A political rally is an entertainment venue. The protests and the common mans frustration with a rigged system that refuses to change isn't.
The whole world already knows who trump is,,,, the rallies are a waste of energy, resources and lives/time on many levels. Even if Tulsi Gabbard or Andrew yang was holding rallies I would chastise here level of common sense. As if the media would give them any air time anyways. 
-edit- not conman, common man.

The media? You haven't in any way supported an argument that the media is hypocritical, and the title of this thread has literally nothing to do with the media. If you want to show that the media is hypocritical, you have to establish:
1. The media makes statements against a particular practice or conduct, AND 2. The media engages in that same practice or conduct.
That's hypocrisy. It appears the conduct you're referring to is the refusal to wear a mask. You haven't established that the media refuses to wear masks.
Maybe you were actually trying to argue inconsistency in the media...or perhaps bias. If so, you should have chosen those words instead of "hypocrisy."

You're right, it's not the same thing. The protesting is far worse.
I don't care how many people have worn masks. There have been more protesters in the streets that have not worn masks than there have been people without masks at a Trump rally.
This is like, 1st grade level math. We call it counting.

I provided two links in my OP to two different news articles from the same website. Did you miss them?
I also said I could provide many more. Would you like another TEN for comparison?

Neither of those links support your theory of hypocrisy. Maybe you should look the word up.
