Fox News Postpones Return to Office Again Amid Pandemic

The network, which had targeted June 15 for a return, will now be working from home "through at least the end of July."

Fox News Channel is not coming back to the office on June 15, as parent company Fox Corp had originally targeted.

Instead, the network is extending its remote work timeline "through at least the end of July," Fox Corp HR head Kevin Lord said in a Friday morning memo that was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

Lord cited "the well-being of our workforce as a guide" for making the extension decision.

"This new timing for our first phase of reopening will ensure that our physical locations are prepared, our new safety procedures are implemented, and our on-floor experience and protocols are in place before you are on site again," Lord wrote. "Rest assured that we will provide you with ample notice before we begin reopening."

Fox does "not expect [its] full workforce to be back on site in a pre-COVID manner until the fall at the earliest," the executive said in the memo.

3. We are still dealing with now the legacy of Ronald Reagan's killing off of the "Fairness Doctrine"

and that has allowed for many Americans over the past 2.5 generations to be bathed in misinformation
and outright lies. I hope Joe Biden comes right out and calls Fox News the cancer on America that it
is. In Ohio in 2008 Fox and Hannity sold the lie that our then current Sec. of State, Jennifer Brunner
was working with ACORN to rig the vote and she got real life death threats from some of Fox's mouth
breathers.

Who aside from the micro-intellect syphilitic tantrum-prone Gerber reject in the WH even listens to this pablum anymore? I'm beginning to doubt he even tunes in anymore.

Of course, FAUX news is but part of a bigger anti-American propaganda apparatus


It starts with the well funded right-wing think tanks that generate the dishonest talking points

Outlets like FAUX News and others repeat those false talking points ad Infinitum

The GOP will get on non-propaganda networks and again repeat those same false talking points


So if you repeat a lie often enough

Manipulate people using fear, hate, and anger while taking advantage of their stupidity and biases

You get the disaster our nation is today
