You know, as repulsive as mainstream media bias is, you’ve got to hand it to the progressives who run the Miami Herald for their unabashed, openly displayed leftist political leanings, which aren’t just reserved for the editorial pages and their columnists but which are also prominently featured in the supposedly objective “reporting” we see on the front pages of the paper and its website.
Much like the New York Times, the L.A. Times, CNN, and my own hometown fish wrapper the Charlotte Observer, the Herald wears its liberal bias like a badge of honor, proudly virtue signaling to their dwindling readership as to where they stand on the issues, whether those issues are real or manufactured (the latter of which is often the case with the Herald, as we’ve documented extensively).
They are apparently unhappy with the failure to remove the popular Florida governor. Ron DeSantis – including relying heavily on the fraudulent claims of discredited former (fired) Florida Dept. of Health IT staffer Rebekah Jones – have failed, the paper has latched on to the latest big DeSantis “scandal.” I assure you that when you find out what it is that you’ll be as shook as I was, perhaps even more so.
Lawrence Mower is a reporter who, according to his Twitter bio, writes for the Miami Herald as well as the Tampa Bay Times. He took to Twitter Monday to report something that he found troubling about DeSantis’s reference to receiving the coronavirus vaccination shot. Here’s what Mower tweeted:
This is what it seems. @GovRonDeSantisHe no longer uses the phrase “vaccine”. In a press conference to oppose vaccine mandates, the man kept referring back to it as “the Jab.”
It is also called “The jab” by other speakers.

Wow. Now that one’s gonna be the one that finally takes DeSantis down, don’t you think? Particularly judging from the fakefended responses coming out of the usual corners.
However, in all seriousness this is becoming beyond annoying and embarrassing. Prioritizing senior citizens when the vaccine was first made available.
He also advocated monoclonal anti-COVID treatments, which are scientifically proven to reduce the chance of COVID patients needing to be admitted. This media attack also failed.
And now there’s this. Ron DeSantis calls getting the shot “the jab,” and we should all start clutching pearls and swaying onto the fainting couches at the nerve of this guy for referring to it the same way Others in the mediaHave in the past

It’s a fact that trust in the media has plummeted to all-time lows over the last several years. With “reports” like Mower’s about DeSantis constantly getting flung against the wall in hopes that they’ll stick, it’s not hard to understand why.
