If they were to air the CDC briefing, their viewers would howl in protest and switch over to OAN or NewsMax or some other extreme right wing channel. So instead of the CDC, Fox will air something that will piss off their viewers regarding Democrats but keep them tuned into Fox for updates or other “news stories” to inflame those passions further.

What are they saying about the border? Last I heard they said it was like the beginning of the Boston marathon all day everyday.What crap. Other cable channels are getting just as bad.
