Has FOX News changed the way they are reporting on the coronavirus?

Are they finally taking it seriously?

Or is it that just some of them are taking it seriously? Are some of their propagandists, like Hannity, Ingraham. and Dobbs, still giving FOX viewers ambiguous and questionable information? If that is the case, they are doing a great disservice to our country.

Until very recently, they all joked about how it was some sort of scheme to tear down Donald Trump, with the possible exception of Tucker Carlson?

We have to ask: How could any broadcaster, especially of the "news", be so irresponsible?

The fact that the FCC doesn't regulate cable has been discussed here many times. Boycott the advertisers, hit Fox where it hurts.

they’re like extensions of the orange piece of shit, and they don’t know how to be sincere.

I used to watch Shep Smith on occasion.

Sometimes I will switch over to see what they are talking about during commercials but I haven't found much worthy of watching.

But, I don't boycott them because someone on DU might criticize me. They are just crappy.
