A Non-Story That’s Now a Story

The Guardian (formerly the Manchester Guardian) is a very good newspaper, even for American news. But even they sometimes make a mountain out of nonsense.

This was the top headline on their live Coronavirus blog a few minutes ago:

New York Sees Anti-Lockdown Rally as T—- Supports Michigan Protesters

Some stories don’t deserve to be stories.
