Another day, another instance of a preachy mainstream media journalist being called out for not practicing what they preach when it comes to mask-wearing.

As if the incident involving the MSNBC reporter being filmed and called out by a random passerby during a live segment on mask-wearing for his cameraman not wearing a mask was not hilarious enough, CNN has been caught in the act as well.

In the clip below, you see CNN reporter Gary Tuchman, a self-styled expert on the Wuhan coronavirus, interviewing beachgoers in Alabama about whether or not they had any concerns about catching the virus because they were around so many other people. During the same segment, the issue of wearing masks came up, and Tuchman – who walked around the beach in a mask as the cameras were rolling – noted he saw a “grand total of zero” people wearing the masks on the beach, and then proceeded to interview people on the matter:

But when the cameras stopped rolling, this is how Tuchman looked:

A FourthWatch reader sent me these images of CNN’s GaryTuchmanCNN filming this report from Alabama yesterday - wearing a mask while walking the beach and interviewing people - but removing his mask when the cameras were off.

Keep in mind that sarcasm is lost on many.

I’m pretty darn sure there are beaches in Alabama.

[Fiji Hill]

Orange Beach, Ala.

[Laslo Fripp]

Don’t tell that to Admiral Farragut😈

[MuttTheHoople]

First of all, there ain’t no beaches in Alabama

I honeymooned at the Perdido Key Hilton in Alabama. I'll admit, the wife and I didn't spend much time on the beach, but there was definitely a beach there.

You haven't heard of the Redneck Riveiera?

RE:”In Virginia, you are not required, or even asked, to wear masks on the beach, because that would be stupid”

Maryland either

I think this outdoor mask theme just appeared Monday as Trump didn't wear a mask during the ceremonies and Biden was on cam wearing one.

So the Dems at CNN and MSNBC are spinning this that ~ 100,000 Americans died from COVID19 because Trump set a bad example by not wearing one.

Morning Mika and Joe been pounding this one for hours yesterday and today on their show. They get on doctors who recommend mask wearing outside.

It seems like a lot of Freepers don’t recognize the Sarcasm here.

There are absolutely NO nice beaches in Alabama, just swamp and mosquitos.

Repeat: There are absolutely NO nice beaches in Alabama, just swamp and mosquitos.

So stay away.

Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge!

[CrimsonTidegirl]

I see what you did there.

When you stated that there weren’t any beaches in Alabama, my first impression was to ask what drugs you were on.

[Fido969]

Masks are the 2020 virtue signalling.

[Fido969]

Stop telling people there are beaches! Do you want all the Yankees coming here?!

I lived in LA back in the 90’s.

Is the Florabama still there?

The Left has long been railing about the harm plastic bags can do when they are washed into the ocean. However, I increasingly see discarded masks lying in gutters. Some of these will eventually be washed into the ocean through storm drains, so wouldn’t they pose an ecological threat?

The Left has long been railing about the harm plastic bags can do when they are washed into the ocean.

Or their discarded rubber gloves choking the poor turtles. Thankfully the Left are not hypocrites, just ask the Central park Liberal racist dog walker.

In Maryland gov Hogan's mask order says to discard the masks appropriately, however it's a lot easier to shut down businesses with fines (after people report them) then to enforce anti-littering

Children of the Quarn.....does this make them “Quarnholes ?

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

Yes, Alabama is a terrible place to live - especially for liberals. Terribly uncomfortable. Too friendly. Everyone gets along -they would hate it. Worst place ever. Everyone knows this. /sarcasm lol

[Karma_Sherab]

I believe that the intent was to instill in the Yankees the IDEA that there ain't no beaches in Alabama.
Or, if you look at his statement "ain't no" actually means that there ARE beaches in Alabama

[henkster]

It’s a shame so few can detect humor.
