the media have consistently demonized people at beaches and parks. Lightfoot fenced off the beaches in Chicago, Newsom did the same in CA. It's ridiculous; and its why people are skeptical of their intentions.

https://twitter.com/zeynep has been very critical of the beach photos thing, and you'll find we're in agreement on that point.

Even in articles about house parties, major media outlets go and grab a beach photo for some reason. It's bad reporting.
