Johns Hopkins Professor of Surgery Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. said LinkedIn removed a research letter he co-authored because the scientific research allegedly violated its “Professional Community Policies.” He later tweeted that Linkedin reinstated it “after a friend compl[ained] to the CEO.”

As even blue-state governors are doing an about-face on mask mandates, Wednesday’s New York Times front page buried the controversy over perennial Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, a strong proponent of mask mandates, posing maskless in a sea of masked-up children and teachers, in a now-infamous photo. The team of reporters Lisa Lerer, Luis Ferré-Sadurní and Astead…

Wednesday’s Psaki Show included a topic few would ever expect to pop up (aside from Hunter Biden references) as Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich repeatedly grilled Press Secretary Jen Psaki over a Free Beacon report (by former MRCTV intern Patrick Hauf) that a Health and Human Services (HHS) grant for “safe smoking kits” would include crack pipes.

CNN’s anti-Freedom Convoy correspondent Paula Newton was at it again Wednesday as she desperately tried to smear the peaceful Canadian protest against their COVID restrictions. In reports throughout the day, Newton suggested that they should be feared and were a threat to the country. She even suggested that their “civil disobedience” can’t be “tolerated” because “what can happen next?”

Big Tech speech restrictions turned COVID-19 into the most pro-censorship environment in the U.S. at least since World War II. Media Research Center has found more than 800 examples of bans, deleted content, and other speech restrictions related to the virus, as well as to resultant vaccines masking and government policies.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission that demanded an investigation into GoFundMe.

On Monday afternoon, MSNBC anchor Katy Tur feared a protest by Canadian truckers against government COVID regulations was tantamount to a “national insurrection.” She then brought on a Canadian journalist who detailed the threats posed by the demonstrators: Plinko, pizza ovens, saunas, and hot tubs.

Monday marked another return to a full White House Briefing Room and, for this episode of the Psaki Show, Reuters’s Andrea Shalal strayed into authoritarianism by asking Press Secretary Jen Psaki whether the Biden administration was investigating “conservative” and “right-wing forces in the U.S.” for supporting truck drivers in Canada protesting that government’s COVID mandates.

When reporting on the big news out Monday that Democrat New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy plans to drop his state's school mask mandate, the leftist evening news broadcasts predictably got in line and supported the move. This despite wailing exactly two weeks ago over Republican Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin doing the exact same thing.

ABC and NBC continued their kvetching Monday over the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, Canada and their massive crowds protesting the socialist country's coronavirus vaccine mandate in order to cross the U.S./Canada border to deliver goods that keep our economies running. 

At the end of her Monday show on MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell condemned Republicans for daring to criticize Dr. Fauci ahead of the 2022 midterms and Dr. Peter Hotez claimed the existence of criticism towards him and Fauci provide evidence that it is "a tough time to be a scientist."

The Mike Pence haters at The View gave him reluctant applause for rebuking President Trump’s claim that he had the power to overturn the 2020 election. But one stubborn host refused to give him any credit. But right after this, the panel surprisingly and unanimously went after Democrat Stacey Abrams for appearing maskless at an elementary school under a mask mandate.

According to a Monday New Day panel on CNN consisting of Margaret Hoover and Bakari Sellers, Stacey Abrams posing for a photo without a mask surrounded by masked children was not hypocritical, but rather just an honest mistake.

After having all but ignored it for weeks (and footnoted it over the weekend), ABC and CBS devoted full segments on Monday morning to the “Freedom Convoy” in Canada by truck drivers and supporters protesting the Liberal government’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, but dismissed them as standing in the way of Canada’s “efforts to control” the virus and making life difficult and violent for those in…
