MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell just can’t quit pandemic restrictions. On her Friday show on MSNBC, Mitchell declared that airplane mask mandates should remain, not because of any scientific reason, but because they make her feel more comfortable.
As part of a conversation with Dr. Vin Gupta, Mitchell expressed wonder and the idea that people with COVID might be able to get onboard a plane, “One of the things that surprised me because I travel internationally and you always have to get tested and show a negative test before you can even get a boarding pass, is that domestically you don’t have to. You just have to be masked and so, people who have COVID could be on those airplanes, right?” To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
Gupta affirmed this is true, “Which is why the federal mask mandate has been extended by a few weeks. There’s many of us, I’ve heard from flight attendants across the country who say, you know, we would like that mask mandate in place until kiddos under five, until everybody has access to a vaccine. Because there is that risk, that somebody still might have the virus, might be able to transmit it.”
However, Gupta immediately contradicted himself and unwittingly showed why extending the airplane mask mandate makes no scientific sense, “I ultimately think airplane cabins are very safe. There’s fantastic ventilation.”
After Gupta reversed himself one more time, urging the mandate to remain until the vaccine is available to children under five, Mitchell condemned the airline companies for lobbying for the mandate’s removal, “Of course, the airlines are pressing really hard. They, you know, cried bloody […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
