To me, this approval drop is mostly a testament about the power of Fox News, which did not shy away from criticizing Senator Burr. /1
Burr's stock selloffs really do look bad, but there WAS public reporting on the severity of the #COVID19 pandemic at the time.

Burr sold his stocks on Feb 13.

Here is a tweet from a #coronavirus expert on that very day. /2

I'm not trying to excuse Burr or others - just saying there is certainly reasonable doubt.

My big point is that all it took to tank Burr's approval was one day of bad Fox News press.

Imagine what could happen if Fox would drop the firewall they provide for Donald Trump. /3x
