First major media media shift away from coronavirus stories in months.
Today Drudge had splashed "Georgia did not act fast" top headline (not exact same words); this is remarkable shift in itself as in past couple of months, this story out of Georgia is probably the first top headline on Drudge, NBC news and other MSM that is not directly related to "invisible enemy" aka COVID-19. Two month old video that surfaced in media has quickly made it top national story.
On a side note, this news story seems to have also buried Georgia hair salon reopen controversy headlines, Trump and media's displeasure with Georgia reopening too soon.

President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive contenders for the 2020 presidential election, responded Thursday to a cellphone video that appears to show Ahmaud Arbery being shot and killed on February 23.
What's happening: The death of Arbery, a 25-year-old black man fatally shot by a white father and son, is under investigation by Georgia officials. The men who pursued Arbery were arrested on murder charges Thursday evening, several months after the event took place. They told police they suspected Arbery committed a burglary before pursuing him.
What they're saying:
Former Vice President Joe Biden: "The video is clear: Ahmaud Arbery was killed in cold blood. My heart goes out to his family, who deserve justice and deserve it now. It is time for a swift, full, and transparent investigation into his murder," he tweeted Thursday.
President Trump: "So I'm getting a full report on it this evening. My heart goes out to the parents and to the loved ones of the young gentleman. It's a very sad thing. But I will be given a full report this evening," he told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday. Trump said he had not seen video of the incident.
