There are serious risks to young and healthy people from COVID: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

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-…

From an interview earlier this evening, Mike Lindell tells Right Side Broadcasting that he was just told that @BedBathBeyond has dropped MyPillow. He also complains about @slpng_giants.
@BedBathBeyond @slpng_giants Lindell circles back, links business losses to "the deep state" and "communism" and to the lawsuit threat from "the machine people" Dominion. (after it cuts out, the host defends the honor of mypillow)
Lindell says he talks with Sidney Powell twice a day, and came to his (false) conclusion that the election was rigged after he did his own math.

Thread: MyPillow CEO and right-wing fixture Mike Lindell explained his White House visit with right-wing radio host Eric Metaxas (who tweeted hashtag martial law in support of Lindell).

The interview had deranged conspiracy theories, justifications of violence, and more.
The interview starts with Metaxas touting Lindell’s supposed “genuine evidence” of foreign election fraud. Lindell says it came out “ten days ago” on Twitter and starts explaining the conspiracy theory.
Lindell then clarifies that his source for this debunked lie is a conspiracy theory website. Lindell claims Trump won by 11 million votes (he did not).

Rupert Murdoch when Fox News spends MONTHS pushing COVID-19 conspiracy theories:

Rupert Murdoch when Fox News loses one hour to further-right Newsmax:
Fox personalities constantly rail at elites, but Murdoch's elitism is not the sort that you hear about there.

here's one person suggesting it
trump may have mentioned the "pence steals the election plan" because he saw it touted on newsmax with joe digenova shortly before he took the stage

the thing about watching this terrible show is that there are countless examples of dumb hypocrisy every single night.

and for the record, plenty of legislatures have used gender-neutral language, like ohio here as @bubbaprog has noted. lsc.ohio.gov/documents/priv…
@bubbaprog as of 2013 half the states used gender-neutral language governing.com/archive/gov-ge…

but this can get some cheap engagement and that is all that matters
tucker's grift right now is giving the same empty calories to right-wing audiences as everyone else, only he pretends that he's somehow better than the rest of them. he's exactly the same.
