Sick: NBC Finds Upside, Environmental ‘Gift’ to 2.8 Million Dead From Covid: ‘Earth Got a Break’

[See NewsBusters for more.] Sure, Covid may have killed 2.8 million people worldwide, but NBC wants viewers to focus on the upside: The environment has been given a “gift.” “Planet Earth got a rare break.” Talk about tone deaf. What a ghoulish way to discuss a pandemic that has destroyed families and ended the lives of so many we care about. Rather than focus on the true horror, Kerry Sanders hyped, “When the nation and world shut down, Planet Earth got a rare break and for the first time we saw more deer and Turkeys near Boston, dolphins swimming in a quieter New York harbor, and waterways in Venice so clear you could see jellyfish.”
