How cable news will inevitably politicize the Surfside building tragedy - The Spectator World

How cable news will inevitably politicize the Surfside building tragedy - The Spectator World
"...By day three or four, perhaps earlier, the media and political adversaries will start pointing fingers. 
The key figure here is Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, who could run for president in 2024.
He is currently considered a leading candidate because his state is gaining people, growing economically and performed so well during the pandemic, especially because of DeSantis’s attention to nursing homes.
Save yourself some time. If you spend a few minutes a day reading the story on your favorite news site, you can avoid the endless noise and find out the real information about this tragedy.
  • CNN, MSNBC and the legacy print media will look for some way to pin the building collapse on DeSantis since he is from the wrong party and could run against their favorite party in three years. If they can’t find a plausible way to pin the collapse directly on him, they will try the next best thing. They will declare that Florida, like all Republican states, does far too little to protect public safety. This building collapse, they will say, is just another example. ‘That’s the real scandal here.’ 
  • In rebuttal, Fox and the New York Post will say Gov. DeSantis is not responsible in any way, that his efforts after the disaster are a model for the nation and that we should all hope our children grow up to be just like Ron DeSantis. 
It will all sound very stupid...Read all.
