Fox host Neil Cavuto is immunocompromised and has MS. He's a cancer survivor. He's been trying and trying and trying to get Fox viewers to get their damn COVID vaccines, after he got a breakthrough case. About getting COVID, he said, "Had I not been vaccinated, and with all my medical issues, this would be a far more dire situation." He doesn't want his viewers to die, for some reason.

And now he's back on the TV, and they played some of the viewer messages people left for him while he was away. Cavuto does this sometimes, with the viewer comments and the hate mail. Fox News watchers, of course, are as charming as they are literate. And because in this case it was Fox News watchers dealing with an immunocompromised person who is vaccinated, the messages ranged from their usual weird wingnut "jokes" to downright deranged. Oh yeah and a couple death threats. Totally normal.

Cavuto did note, still broadcasting from home, that some of the messages he got were nice, and they played a few nice ones, but ...

DION BAIA (PRODUCER): Our first email comes from John in New Orleans who says "heard you're back on the show this week. That's too bad." So uh, that's not very nice but I figured we'd kick it, start it off with a kicker.

CAVUTO: That seems a little mean.

BAIA: Yeah, I know I'm sorry but it wasn't from me.

1. I like how they laughed it off. I guess they know their audience best.

2. It is Cuvoto's own fault. He should have stayed at CNBC

3. His own network reads death wishes to him on his return...

And he is still there... What an idiot.

5. Ha ha! HA HA HA HA HA isn't it funny? Look at our mentally ill

audience wishing me dead! HAHAHAHAHA!!

4. Who do you think your audience is, Neil?

Are you surprised to find out that they're venom-spewing hateful assholes who are mean to anyone that doesn't measure up to their ever-changing immutable standards? Because that's what they are, and that's who pays your salary.
