Fox Business Puts Trish Regan On Hiatus After 'Coronavirus Impeachment Scam'

Regan’s Monday night monologue was largely in keeping with President Donald Trump’s own early claims about the novel coronavirus that has spread across the globe: The media and Democrats’ reaction to the virus, Regan said, was “impeachment all over again” and an attempt to hurt the President politically.

“CORONAVIRUS IMPEACHMENT SCAM” read the graphic on screen over Regan’s right shoulder.

A few days later, CNN quoted an unnamed Fox News producer who said Regan and other Fox hosts’ spin on the pandemic was dangerous.

“The attempt to deflect and blame the media and Democrats from Trish Regan, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lou Dobbs, Jesse Watters, and Greg Gutfeld instead of addressing the coronavirus is really irresponsible and hazardous to our viewers,” the unnamed producer said.

If Fox is worried about this pandemic to stop playing politics, its serious.

I can't seem to confirm this anywhere. This would really be a big story if an unnamed Fox producer flipped. Only this website seems to have anything on it.

a couple days ago. It's not stopped their usual political spin against dangerously foolish regulations, Democratic bureaucratic gridlock that would have made it impossible to meet this emergency if Trump hadn't cut through dozens of our Gordian knots, that kind of garbage, but that's nothing compared to the genuine depravity of Regan.

If they ever started reporting factual information, they would lose their viewers. What keeps people watching Fox is that they feed into their fear and bias.
