It seems that every time Ron DeSantis does anything newsworthy, the media and its commentators and experts must provide more national coverage than anyone else, but this is always negative.
Before you really dive into the story, subtle changes in the wording, the way the information is presented, and the way you share it on social media will affect how the story should be presented. For example, yesterday, he issued a very strong appeal to the residents of Florida, asking them to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

The reply from the blue check and general reply on Twitter is basically “Welcome to the party, Governor!” It seems that he has not promoted vaccines and vaccine distribution since the vaccines came out.
Those who don’t care much about DeSantis’ structure for this story is that he suddenly got his marching order to hold this press conference, but this structure does not match reality. He has been paying attention to science and promoting vaccination, because we know that vaccines are effective, and masking is far less effective.
Back when vaccines were available, some people accused of racism, because DeSantis has always emphasized putting as many vaccines as possible into the arms of the elderly in areas that can bear the load. In April, he was attacked for cooperating with Publix to distribute vaccines. 60 minutes The report accuses him of paying games. In fact, since the chain has easy access to almost everyone in Florida, everyone in Florida can easily access it.
Therefore, although DeSantis has been fighting for guns, in fact he did not give an impassioned speech publicly in the previous few weeks. He was portrayed as just accepting the idea that everyone should be vaccinated.
This is mainly a report by the national media, trying to portray him in a negative light, and some major left-leaning newspapers in the state have followed suit. However, it doesn’t seem to have much impact now, because people in Florida don’t seem to buy it.Morning Consultation Show DeSantis Is one of the 10 most popular governors, The approval rate was 58%, and the disapproval rate was 22%.
Yesterday’s press conference is just the latest evidence that DeSantis follows science rather than free media’s views on epidemic management. In this video, he correctly talked about the fact that the information on the mask conflicts with the information on the vaccine.

He is absolutely correct and follows the science very clearly-as he has done since the beginning of this pandemic-although his state is currently in a big wave, it is the hesitation of vaccines that drives it, and Not the action of his government. So, naturally, he had to push people to get vaccinated again. The media is really trying to convince Americans that DeSantis is only now accepting the vaccine is a good idea, it is not his fault. They are just ignorant or malicious (or both).
I still believe that what the media and their commentators and authority figures do, whether voluntarily or not, is Make Ron DeSantis a strong competitor in 2024Even if DeSantis does not focus on running for president, his national image will certainly rise with the help of hostile media.
