Except Ms. Allison seems to be a mainstream reporter:
Much smaller crowd at the Tennessee Capitol today for the reopen rally, but @RepMartinDaniel is in attendance. He’s one of at least 2 other legislators who have sent letters to @GovBillLee asking him to lift restrictions. (Lee has set May 1 as tentative start date for that) pic.twitter.com/rxRGrIC1x6

This lady is yelling toward the Tennessee Capitol at @GovBillLee, trying to compare the coronavirus shutdown to the Holocaust.

punditry voice: an underrated factor in the "open america" protests is that if we acquiesce to their demands, a large number of people will get sick and die. It will be a tough lift to make that broadly popular despite swiftly strong elite messaging

all you need to know about why the mainstream media is going out of business is that the straight-to-DVD sequel to the tea party is the dumbest shit ever and they're still impressed by it
