Two articles not even fifteen minutes apart. Screen caps in case they dissapear down the memory hole:

Even In A Pandemic, WHO Believes That Public Protests Are Important
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the World Health Organization took time at its daily press conference to address another pressing issue: the wave of protests against police violence and racial injustice. 

And this:

Modelers say it's difficult to assess how the protests will influence COVID-19 infections.

We all have seen how accurate their models have been so far. Why should we start believing them now?

What media bias? The title of the post? This wonderful quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson:

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

National Public Radio (yes, our tax dollars at work) is consistent in their bias and their promulgation of the latest liberal diktat. All Hail the Narrative.
