So bizarre what’s happening in Brazil. The Bolsonaro movement - including his sons - are screaming FAKE NEWS LIARS! at media reports that Bolsonaro’s son confirmed the test was positive.
The problem? The report came from Fox, who they worship. And Fox still insists he said it:

The Bolsonaro family is doing to Fox News what they do to Brazilian outlets: accusing them of fabricating a major story to destroy people’s faith in journalism.
But unlike Brazilian outlets, conservatives worship Fox. So the question is whether Fox will defend their journalism?

Dear Fox & @johnrobertsFox:: Here’s Bolsonaro’s son, @BolsonaroSP, right on your own network explicitly calling you liars & insisting you fabricated your major scoop: claiming he never told you his father’s test was positive, never knew of a 1st test:
I really don’t understand how Fox News can allow the Bolsonaro family to run around the world accusing @johnrobertsFox and their entire newsroom of being fabulists: of literally inventing a source conversation.
Did @BolsonaroSP tell you his father tested positive or not???
