Nancy Pelosi has again taken aim at President Trump in the form of a lecture about alleged coronavirus denial and accusing the president of discouraging the wearing of masks:
From the start, President Trump has denied the facts about how to best fight the coronavirus. Now, he wants Americans to put loyalty to him ahead of the health of their children, parents, and siblings. #DeadlineWH pic.twitter.com/Ifc0blPrNf

Everybody knows there’s no hypocrisy like Nancy Pelosi hypocrisy, and this week has been no different. Yesterday we told you about a salon’s security camera catching the House Speaker entering without a mask in order to get her hair done, even though indoor services of that type remain banned in the state.
‘It was a slap in the face’: Speaker Nancy Pelosi visits shuttered salon, is recorded without mask https://t.co/9fVY9REhH1

It’s entirely possible that Democrats such as Pelosi feel emboldened to disobey the regulations they support for everybody else because they know the media will have their backs. The Pelosi story is no exception, and here’s one example:
Have to ask upon seeing this: Is it legal in CA — a "two party consent" state — to videotape someone in a private home or business without their consent? https://t.co/0DYsEpnTSY #FoxNews

So that’s the story?
Yes as long as the video does not record audio or if there is no expectation of privacy.
Advocating people get prosecuted for recording politicians behaving badly is probably not the hill journalists should die on @cmarinucci https://t.co/kQzkovnFbi

Defending Democrats is just instinctive for so many in the media.

It’s not an unfair question.
Nancy Pelosi was caught not wearing a mask and flouting covid salon regulations.
Reporter's immediate reflex is to attack the whistleblower. https://t.co/04e87C9pvi

If it's not a hidden camera it's legal.

That’s definitely the story here. That goddamn small business and their security cameras. Good journamalisming https://t.co/XmVa1ozjqd

Not the most powerful Democrat in the country abusing her power or position, not wearing a mask and ignoring COVID guidelines that everyone read has to follow of face a fine or being shutdown. That’s definitely not the story here.

Nothing today beat Nancy Pelosi getting caught breaking her own city’s COVID mandates and a Politico editor getting pissy and blaming the business security camera for it.

The job of a journalist is to protect Democrats and punish anyone who embarrasses them. https://t.co/0qyIFlilc7

Your job is to protect Democrats.

And they obviously know it.
It also makes no damn sense if you think about it for like 2 seconds. She’s suggesting that it’s illegal for stores to have security cameras. Someone let the lawyers at Walmart and Target and every other big box store know

Here’s a “senior writer” at @politico who is unaware that it’s legal to videotape someone breaking the law – even if it’s the Speaker of the House. https://t.co/2Inware5eV

A member of the “media” promoting censorship to cover for Pelosi. https://t.co/3hyN6Ppsyy

Seems like the kind of thing that you, as a California reporter, should've investigated the answer to before tweeting, rather than instinctively seeking to run interference for one of the most powerful politicians in the country. https://t.co/b0ExZc6MXs

It’s almost as if some in the media consider their job to be supporting a particular narrative rather than holding those in power accountable.
