Coronavirus Deaths Greater Among Fox News Viewers That Prefer Hannity Over Tucker Carlson, Study Say

[Initech]

Fox News disputes the findings of a new study that suggests regular viewers of the show Hannity were more likely to die from coronavirus than those who preferred Tucker Carlson Tonight.

The study, titled "Misinformation During a Pandemic," was first published Sunday by the University of Chicago's Becker Friedman Institute for Economics. Researchers asserted that reduced incidences of Covid-19 and lower death rates among Fox News viewers were associated a more serious view of the health crisis taken early on by host Tucker Carlson.

"Carlson warned viewers that the coronavirus might pose a serious threat from early February," wrote the researchers. "While Hannity first ignored the topic on his show and then dismissed the risks associated with the virus, claiming that it was less concerning than the common flu and insisting that Democrats were using it as a political weapon to undermine the president."

Although Sean Hannity did compare Covid-19 favorably to the flu on multiple occasions, he was not the only media figure to do so. In the early days of the health crisis, the comparison was made often, with CNN's Anderson Cooper making the comparison as late as March 4.
