James Oshust has a point when he says that the thousands of health care workers who have been fighting COVID-19 should have been featured by Time magazine as persons of the year. But then he goes on to revile Joe Biden for following the public health guidelines of remaining at home as much as possible. (When he did campaign, he followed the recommended guidelines for masking and social distancing.) Oshust then condemns Kamala Harris for pointing out, in a Democratic debate, that she was one of the children being bused for school integration at a time when Biden opposed forced busing, claiming that she exhibited “bile and hatred.”
He says not another word about the brave health care workers risking their lives daily. Instead, he attacks Time magazine for a “lack of ethics or journalistic lack of concern for the truth” without saying what specific facts he is referring to.
One can’t help but infer that his thinly veiled rancor really lies with the fact that his guy, who defied public health precautions by appearing unmasked with large groups of closely packed individuals, resulting in the COVIC-19 infection of at least 50 people in his inner circle, and who is the most prodigious spewer of bile and hatred ever to occupy the White House, did not earn a place on Time magazine’s cover this year.
Your guy lost. Get over it.
