During a visit to Walter Reed hospital Saturday afternoon, President Trump wore a mask for the first time in public:

After that, CNN’s Jake Tapper contemplated how many lives might have been saved if the president would have started wearing a mask in February of March, and the Washington Post took a similar tone:
Trump dons mask in public for the first time, months after public health experts said everyone should https://t.co/iocEm3KOdg

Just like Tapper’s tweet, the WaPo ran into some inconvenient realities in regards to media reporting a few months ago:

The shot from Saturday:

And the chaser from early March:
If you’re not already sick and you’re not a health-care worker, you don’t need to wear a mask. And you certainly don’t need to buy every box your local pharmacy has in stock. https://t.co/nW3q39Walc

Maybe the next WaPo scoop should be how people shouldn’t necessarily take heed in media reports.

Do we really expect anything less? At this point politics is simple. Either you're a leftist and will make anything fit your narrative. Or you're a liberal/moderate and will consider the facts vs. what the t.v. tells you. If you're conservative, you're in "f*** you" mode.

@washingtonpost has been a leftist propaganda rag for years. https://t.co/o7xVkaWouM

You’re wasting your time Drew. As someone who’s spent years in journalism, I can tell you for a fact that the WP has no shame.
