[See NewsBusters for more.] Appearing on Wednesday's Katy Tur Reports on MSNBC, PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor declared that "white male conservatives" and former President Trump are to blame for the CDC's flip-flopping on their latest guidelines that says vaccinated people should be wearing masks, but the facts said otherwise.
Guest host Geoff Bennett had asked Alcindor to comment on the "confusing" nature of the rule, but she decided to attack instead, "the people who benefit the most from the CDC guidance that was updated just a day ago are the same people who are least likely to follow that guidance, the people who are unvaccinated, the people who don't want to wear masks, largely Republicans, largely white male conservative voters who are looking at these guidance and thinking that there's some sort of conspiracy against their freedoms."
