A generation Written before With the help of the CNN report, a story circulated everywhere that four teachers in Broward County died of COVID within 24 hours.
CNN then tried to connect it with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his ban on mandatory masks, allowing parents to decide for their children.

But as I pointed out, the school has not even opened yet.It didn’t start Until August 18 There. So any teacher who is sick does it during vacations or summer vacations. It has nothing to do with wearing a mask, not wearing a mask, or school.
But I made another point-people/journalists should question this claim from the beginning. Because on the surface, it doesn’t sound true. This sounds like another lie trying to hurt DeSantis. I also asked if anyone really confirmed the authenticity of this story, because all the media seemed to be quoting the words of the chairman of the teachers’ union. How do we know that it is true?
Well, it’s not that I told you, but I told you. This is not true, and apart from the fact that the story is false, this is a major news failure.
This story originally claimed that three teachers and a teacher aide died within 24 hours of COVID infection.
Now the media is going back to this story.
Correction: The Broward Teachers Union initially announced the death of three teachers, but has since issued a correction stating that two teachers have died. https://t.co/HhErUXgDMR

Even now, even with this correction, they still only quoted the chairman of the teachers’ union. How do they know that this correction is accurate? How do they know that the entire 24 hours is accurate? Or is it “from COVID” rather than “with” COVID?
However, if any one of them has just finished the work and carefully checked what the teacher union chairman told them, they don’t have to back down, who made it clear that she had a problem with DeSantis. No one thinks they should check it out, especially when the interested party tells them the story? But the media didn’t care because they lied there. The CNN host can shake his head soberly to attack DeSantis, even though he has nothing to do with him.
At the same time, this is another example of how the media can push political narratives out of control without caring about the actual truth, news, or their responsibilities to the public.
