Dawning realization that nine months into the pandemic. senior WH officials think that if you test negative it means that you definitely have not caught the virus and can do whatever you want and don't need to quarantine if you've been in contact with someone with COVID.

The president's Fox News buddies told him the virus was nothing to worry about so he took as few precautions as possible and here we are. mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-n…
It's so bad.

Fox News is championing RFK Jr's view of public health, even as it puts your kids at risk mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-n…
If Trump appoints RFK Jr. to a top health post he will be able to do for the U.S. what he did to American Samoa. Fox is onboard. Image
Downstream of Fox News' yearslong campaign against the COVID-19 vaccines is a collapse in GOP support for childhood vaccinations. Image

Fox’s response to Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo peddling thirdhand election fraud lies she didn’t bother to check demonstrates how the network has abandoned anything resembling journalistic standards in its quest to return Donald Trump to the White House.

mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-s…
Bartiromo repeatedly told her Fox Business viewers this week about a “Democrat operation” to register “massive lines of illegals” to vote at Texas government offices, a story she originally attributed to the wife of a friend of a friend and made no apparent effort to verify.
Her thirdhand gossip was swiftly debunked by the local Republican Party and the Texas Department of Public Safety, with a spokesperson for the latter noting that her conspiracy theory was “kind of racist.”

Maria Bartiromo repeatedly used her Fox Business show to peddle an election fraud conspiracy theory that she claimed originated with the wife of a friend of a friend in Texas.

The Texas Department of Public Safety says her story is "kind of racist" and "simply false."

The local GOP calls it "erroneous." mediamatters.org/fox-business/m…
On Sunday morning, Bartiromo posted an item to X alleging that “a massive line of immigrants” had been obtaining driver’s licenses and registering to vote at three Department of Motor Vehicles offices in Texas: Image
She didn't leave the third-hand unsubstantiated claims to her social feed. On Monday and Tuesday she repeatedly aired them on her Fox Business show -- having apparently done no independent reporting to confirm claims that she said originated with the wife of a friend of her friend.

This WaPo factcheck says flatly there is "no evidence that Trump sent" "love letters to dictators," and that "we do not know what Trump wrote to Kim."

Bob Woodward accessed the 27 Trump-Kim letters for his 2020 book; CNN pubbed full transcripts of two. cnn.com/2020/09/09/pol…

Robert L. Carlin also got access to the letters and reported on their contents for Foreign Policy in 2021. foreignpolicy.com/2021/08/13/nor…

The 27 letters were released by South Korean journalists org in 2022, as Stars and Stripes reported.

Psycho shit like this will get you lots of bookings on Tucker Carlson's show but normal Americans are too busy cheering the U.S. women in gymnastics to create chalkboard scrawls blaming Kamala Harris for who Algeria sends to the Olympics. Image
Trump’s once-formidable polling lead evaporated, the Vance rollout is in shambles, and his supporters casting about for someone to blame.

They're responding with the hateful shit that the MAGA freakshow loves but that repulses normal people. mediamatters.org/fox-news/maga-…
When you're absolutely devoted to the cause of Olympics women's sports.

They're really going for it. Image
This is just sick. Image
When you are trapped in the right-wing media bubble attacking on these grounds may sound like a great idea, but normal people don't like this crap.
