Meanwhile: Alex Berenson on Fox "straight news" program: "Children and young adults are at basically no risk of serious illness or death from this virus"
No pushback at all.
It's a genuine scandal that the president was downplaying COVID in March despite knowing otherwise.
His favorite network is *still* doing that for nakedly political reasons -- under the guise of "straight news" no less.
Berenson went on to rail at masks, putting it on Chris Hahn to explain why masks are good.
It's just so telling: Fox treats the science as just part of the same old partisan bickering. This is why Trump downplayed the virus in the first place.
Like, book a panel of epidemiologists if you want to talk about whether masks work or kids are at risks. Not a former aide to Schumer and whatever Berenson is today.
It's not complicated. "By physically blocking the mouth and nose of a person with COVID-19, these masks limit dispersion of the exhaled respiratory droplets that carry the virus and make it less likely they will infect others" mediamatters.org/fox-news/foxs-…

This is pathetic. Fox News essentially changed a quote of John Fetterman answering a question about the "gun lobby" where he rails at NRA talking points being out of touch. The "lunatic fringe" was in reference to the NRA's extreme positions that are different from gun owners.
There have been plenty of people who have noted over the years that a strong majority of gun owners -- even NRA members -- favor things like stronger background checks. Here's a piece from Time. There are many more. time.com/5197807/strict…
Here's transcript of the full exchange -- he even refers later in the answer to gun owners who may not support him.
