"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.

It's also important to note that the anti-masker protesters were quite literally protesting for the ability to put their communities in danger.
