The legacy media lionized Rebekah Jones, who in 2020 peddled a conspiracy theory that she was pressured by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to bury COVID data.

that Jones' claims were unsupported by evidence, and epidemiologists the outlet spoke to had seen nothing significant about Florida's publicly available COVID numbers.

Young Turks host Ana Kasparian corrected past reporting on Rebekah Jones, saying she"screwed up royally." Unlike Kasparian, none of the news organizations who promoted Jones in the early months of the pandemic corrected the record. Describing Jones' checkered past that includes accusations of cyberstalking one of her students and arrests on charges of trespassing and criminal mischief, Cosmopolitan boasted that"she owns it."

Radel likened the coverage of Jones in Florida to biased coverage against DeSantis' Parental Rights in Education law; both national and state outlets routinely refer to it as the"Don't Say Gay" law or note that critic call it that in their coverage.
