Cases-in-point: people protest lockdowns in various states and media complains that protestors aren't taking coronavirus seriously and want to kill their grandparents; people protest police brutality media makes little-to-no mention of coronavirus and even defends protestings; Trump holds campaign rally and media are back to complaining about effect this will have on coronavirus and saying Trump doesn't care.
Hell, CNN is a daily, constant dose of double standards by itself.

I confess I don't really see your "cases-in-point." I don't see a double standard here. "The media," including CNN, do monitor the possibility/probability of virus transmission via protest as well as via Trump rallies. Notice that most of the protestors in the image below (from the linked article) are outdoors and wearing masks.  Notice the photo below that, of attendees at Trump's Tulsa rally--indoors and no masks.

The whole protest/rally double standard theme is the product of Trump and Fox.

The protests are raising fears of a spike in coronavirus cases
