Janice Dean has a tip for “60 Minutes,” if they’re so inclined. . .
From the New York Post, “New York keeps publicizing lower COVID-19 death count than the federal figures”:
Can’t wait for the @60Minutes story on @NYGovCuomo since he’s actually lying about Covid numbers in New York.

Christina Pushaw, spox for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, isn’t holding her breath as well:
I’m not holding my breath.

And it *should* be a huge story, but, instead, journos are focused on Florida. Again:
Cuomo: Literally gets caught lying about COVID numbers, state’s death rate is twice that of Florida
Corporate Media: WHY WOULD DESANTIS DO THIS? 😫 pic.twitter.com/cEAAVaTEoj

Keep in mind, Florida actually has higher deaths than the federal numbers. From the AP who first reported the news:
Despite the fact that Florida has counted *more* COVID deaths in their state than the federal government, people still say they are hiding data

And look at who New York is leaving out if its totals:

And Cuomo won’t explain himself over it:
🧵16 months later, NY's own death toll is far below CDC toll
Why? NY still uses stricter definition of COVID deaths than other states
Cuomo admin won't justify approach to @AP or release data to shed light on gap
Experts say discrepancies fuel distrusthttps://t.co/nYoer8UesE

Of course, #DeathSantis and “Don’t Fauci my Florida” are what’s trending today and nothing about Cuomo:
#KimJongRon #DeathSantis mocks scientists and doctors with the Eva Braun of Fox while Floridians die. Not only does he mock them, he sells anti vax, anti mask paraphernalia on his website. This is no governor, this is Trump afterbirth trying desperately to win over death cultists https://t.co/UhdQ8gUChC
