Does he not understand it isn’t hidden…it’s just tiny?
Wait…yeah, he doesn’t understand.

US politicians being held accountable? Especially presidents? Leave high fantasy to the professionals.

Often true. When a virus has a 2-week incubation period during which it’s infectious but asymptomatic, though, the ineffectiveness of “late” begins to approach the ineffectiveness of “never.”

This network and these people need to be sued into non-existence.
The advertisers of these programs need to be boycotted and destroyed.
And Sean Hannity needs to be punched in the nose repeatedly.

Trish Regan’s affect really squicks me out. She’s like Fox’s version of the avatar Tokyo Rose.

When my Father in law was dying I spent a week living with him and caring for him, he was an avid Fox News watcher, had it on all day. I frequently had to leave the room because the tone of the delivery was so stressful I kept having anxiety attacks. It’s like that all day long. I don’t understand how people can watch it at all.

Until they follow up the hawkish rhetoric with “surgical strikes” on infected areas.
@Brainspore, and, as if the day wasn’t crap enough; there’s been an earthquake over Salt Lake City way.

While I was traveling across the states I encountered several very populous areas where free over-the-air TV was dominated by FOX. These were poor areas where many people did not have cable. Here’s a diagram I made of an area in southern Illinois:

Reminds me of driving through an First Nations Reservation near the Yukon border in Northern Alberta. Only one radio station available for 2 hrs drive in any direction - and it was hardcore evangelical syndicated programming from south Texas. Clockwork Orange had nothing on this.

Trump Now Claims He Always Knew the Coronavirus Would Be a Pandemic
“This is a pandemic,” Mr. Trump told reporters. “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”

Yes. Though they seems to have toned down the tendency to run stock footage of sexy ladies behind the rants (seriously).
They are. And the reason the relief bill is so much smaller and more limited than originally proposed in the GOP in congress and the right wing press smeared it as an attempt to embed the Democrat’s socialist agenda during a moment of crisis.

The American populace with fixed addresses and stuff like that. I bet it’ll strangely skew, like voter registration.

The sad part is they’re not sweating the button push because they don’t equate “free money from the Trump regime” with “radical socialist pinko commies.” They’ll simply see it as Trump being the great, benevolent god they believe he is and deny he ever said “it’s all a hoax” and left them to rot for a few extra weeks until the economy started crashing and he couldn’t hide it any more.

What rock have you been hiding under? And, is there room (that is, to escape Fox News)?
It’s dramatic because dramatic, apparently, sells. Dramatic gets and holds viewers. The thing I can’t understand is: why don’t viewers see how this, how they are so obviously being manipulated, day in, day out. (Probably for the same reason you cannot smell vomit after a few minutes? After the initial exposure to Fox News/vomit, it saturates the senses and becomes normalized.)
We live in strange times, when “vomit” is a soothing thought.

I was just thinking, before Fox News’ (and Donald Trump’s) remarkable - unbelievable, you might say - complete reversal of position, that conservative media in the US and UK (as well as its politicians) seemed hell-bent on killing off its audience (/political supporters). I mean, they were pretty actively trying to kill off the older demographic that they totally rely on by actively providing misinformation. (This was especially stark in the UK, where the Tories have also spent years cutting NHS funding and were advocating letting everyone get sick at once.)
And it occurred to me, thinking of how young people are least likely to be impacted by it, and how older generations have totally screwed up the world for them, that they’re the ones, if anyone, who would have a reason to kill off previous generations. I’m imagining an angry group of young people deliberately infecting themselves with the virus and attempting to infect as many boomers as possible…
Evergreen statements.
Which is hilarious as he was calling it a hoax mere days ago, saying it was no worse than the flu. It’s up there with his statement along the line of, ‘four weeks ago, no one knew this was so serious,’ of… what, last week? Obviously everyone knew except him, it seems.
It is pretty amazing how he can retroactively declare his position to be the opposite of what it was, and his followers don’t even blink.
