A Miami Herlad Journo was not allowed access to a press conference given by Governor De Santis because simply the space is restricted due to the CDC guidelines. She was given the URL to watch the conference but she wanted access to the Governor. When she was not bowed to, she reported she was barred form the proceeding hinting some sort of dark intentions.
So the Herald Editorial today comes out all self righteous in defense of their journo and allegedly us. They actually had the balls to write this:
“Rather, he should be ashamed because, in not allowing Klas to do her job and ask the serious questions that deserve his serious answers, he is really denying access to the Floridians who look to these media outlets for vital information”
And I left them my opinion:
Floridians are indeed looking for vital information, but we also know that we are not going to find it in the Miami Herald. Hell, you guys vetted Gillum, right? He was the best option for Florida Governor, wasn’t that so?
Now imagine this crisis under the “leadership” of a lying addict like Gillum.
Journalists are so conceited, they swear we will not remember the continuous screw ups they commit and that anything coming out of them must be treated like the gospel by us, the Little People. They know better! We must Obey!
F. U. Miami Herald.
Well said.

In effect … The governor’s office gave her (and her employer) better options for teleworking than many of us have. And she threw it back in their faces.
Cry me a river.
Another thing that jumps off the page at me is where they say president Trump is “still downplaying the intensity of COVID-19’s grip on the nation” Exactly how is doing an hour press briefing every day downplaying the seriousness? Exactly what could he be doing to show more “intensity of COVID-19’s grip”? Run around with his hair on fire while screaming?
They lie. They don’t try to report facts, they push a “narrative”.
This journalist had the access she needed, but they wanted to score points against a hated Other. So she sets this stunt up.
And think about it — they’re claiming Republicans aren’t taking the threat of the virus seriously, but she’s the one who demanded in-person access to the governor, against medical recommendations.
But ya gotta admit, a Gov. Gillum would be the ultimate Florida Man. Nudity, sex, meth, and drunkenness are the most important elements in any good Florida Man story.
It would almost be enough to make me move back to the Sunshine State.
