Fox News just got reamed
Even as Donald Trump and his surrogates continue to spin the coronavirus as being either a huge challenge that Trump has heroically conquered, or a hoax that never existed, various Fox News hosts have played along with this dangerous lunacy. That makes them complicit in at least some of the coronavirus deaths we’ve seen.
Here’s the thing, though. Fox News hosts themselves are giving away that they know the coronavirus isn’t a hoax. Former Senator Claire McCaskill just spelled out precisely why:
Fox News has repeatedly aired the notion that this deadly virus is a hoax, including Trump’s son last night saying it would magically disappear after the election.
So how come their hosts are broadcasting from home?
