While multimillionaire well-vaccinated Fox "News" hosts continue to sow doubt about masks and COVID vaccines to jack up the billions in revenue the channel brings in every year for the Murdoch family, the CEO of a hospital chain in Missouri is begging them to tell the truth. #MOG
"The Delta variant is in the Ozarks," tweeted Steve Edwards, CEO of hospital chain Cox Health in Missouri.
“We have been interviewed by NPR, CBS News, MSNBC, AP, Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN, NYTimes BUT NOT @FoxNews."
Vaccination rates are very low in that state, one county at 13% and most counties well short of 40%
Nobody's wearing masks or social distancing.
They believe right-wing media's lies that COVID is "just like the flu" or "vaccines are experimental" or "it's all a Democrat hoax."

The fight against election misinformation has a new target: your cable company
Critics of networks like #FoxNews and #Newsmax argue that the outlets fueled uncertainty about election results and should be dropped by cable providers
Not an easy battle. Fox News was the most watched cable-news network in the U.S. last year, and any attempt to squelch the outlet will be seen as an attack on free speech. No cable TV distributor has said they’re dropping the network.
contractually we generally do not have the ability to unilaterally edit content or remove channels from our lineup.”
No distributor has reached out to Fox about canceling, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified.

Manhattan’s DA has convened the grand jury that is expected to decide whether to indict former president Donald Trump, other executives at his company or the business itself should prosecutors present the panel with criminal charges
The panel was convened recently and will sit three days a week for six months. It is likely to hear several matters — not just the Trump case — during the duration of its term, which is longer than a traditional New York state grand-jury assignment, these people said
The move indicates that DA Vance’s investigation of the former president and his business has reached an advanced stage after more than two years. It suggests, that Vance believes he has found evidence of a crime — if not by Trump, someone close to him or by his company
Did Ivanka Trump accidentally on purpose commit perjury?
It sure looks like it!
#Ivanka spent five hours giving sworn deposition to lawyers from the DC DA’s office. Now, her testimony has been released and it sure looks like she lied under oath.
During her deposition, Ivanka was asked about Allen #Weisselberg, her father’s longtime colleague who she has known literally her entire life and who Melania Trump‘s former BFF/senior advisor says was deeply involved in the Presidential Inauguration Committee.
The “Gosh, I really don’t know him…” line is one Donald Trump frequently uses whenever he’s asked about a member from his inner circle after they’ve become ensnared in controversy–from Paul Manafort to Prince Andrew to Vladimir Putin.
Police intelligence documents show that Washington’s Trump Hotel RAISED ITS RATES “as a security tactic”, in the hope of deterring Trump-supporting #QAnon supporters from staying there in early March, on a day which some believed would see Trump restored to office.
