Where is the liberal compassion for those out of work because of the virus

Jack Hellner:

Whenever the threat of a government shutdown looms, Democrats and their media allies give us daily doses of how devastating such a thing will be on "non-essential" government workers.

Then they go into overdrive when a shutdown actually occurs: wall-to-wall sob stories giving examples of government workers supposedly harmed even though, everyone knows, those employees will soon be paid.  They essentially have a paid vacation.

Now, after weeks of the intentional destruction of the private sector with tens of millions of jobs lost, with businesses and families being devastated and having no idea how they will feed their families and themselves, there are few of those same sob stories, despite real hardship, and here is what we get instead:

If a Republican governor wants to open a state's businesses, we get attack pieces saying he wants people to die.  It's as if the media were acting as a major participant in encouraging the U.S. to commit economic suicide.  For decades, they have sought to weaken the U.S. and remake America.

If most of the media had an honest bone in their bodies, instead of an agenda, they would report that states that did not have a complete shutdown, or stay-at-home orders, had as good results or better results than states that put in the tyrannical, dictatorial orders.  They would say there is no proof that the stay-at-home orders and harsh measures caused the flattening of the COVID-19 curve.  It appears that most of the flattening has occurred naturally, same as with the normal flu.

They would also report that the original junk projections of hundreds of millions of cases and millions of deaths, that scared the heck out of everyone, appeared to be pulled out of thin air and were not based on any credible scientific facts.  You wouldn't go to the moon on projections of this quality.

Government shutdowns put liberal deep staters out of work.  Shutting down small business puts entrepreneurs and Republicans out of work.  That explains in a nutshell where the media empathy police are.
