Here’s a rule of thumb: If the mainstream media is selling it, you shouldn’t be buying it. Nowhere is that made clearer than with the way the media shilled for Rebekah Jones, who claimed to be a data analyst who caught Florida governor Ron DeSantis faking his state’s COVID statistics and was then fired for and harassed about her whistleblowing. Because Jones managed to tar both a rising Republican star and Donald Trump (all bad COVID news in 2020 tarred Trump), the media couldn’t get enough of her. It turned out, though, that Jones was a grifter and a felon.
