The reporters who enter the briefing rooms with state officials are all monitored. We understand that they’re temps are checked and only certain amounts of people are allowed in and they sit “6 feet” apart.
Same type of precautions they take at the White House briefings.
Still, many reporters are still wearing masks, even with all of these precautions. That’s fine and their prerogative, but why do some rip the masks off the moment they think the cameras stop rolling?
But before we get to that…not only do reporters remove the masks the second they think their off-air but the White House reporters even question WH spokesperson Kayleigh McEany on why she’s not wearing a mask.
McEany told the reporter she didn’t need one because she was distanced from him.
Obviously – why are reporters trying to whip up hysteria? What’s next, will they all walk into the briefing wearing Hazmat suits?
You can watch the video below:
Reporter: I can't help but notice you're not wearing a mask. What's the reason for that? Is that a television thing?

Which brings me back to the original point of this piece…reporters whipping off their masks the second they think the cameras are off.
These reporters I’m about to show you weren’t inside the WH – this was a briefing in Chicago – but it’s the same mentality if you ask me.

Many people wear masks, which is fine. But why on earth would you wear one on camera and then take it off the moment you think people are no longer watching you.
Is this about “safety” or something else?
You be the judge.
