'Cheap talk': CNN guest slams Fox News 'elites' in home studios who push everybody

else to go back to work

Published 5 mins ago on May 10, 2020

Dartmouth Professor Brendan Nyhan suggested that Fox News hosts broadcasting from their home studios are hypocrites if they are also urging viewers to go back to work.

“I wonder what you make of Fox News stars who are out there encouraging people resume their normal lives, get back to work while broadcasting from their homes, staying at home?” host Brian Stelter asked Nyhan on CNN’s Reliable Sources program on Sunday.

“I think you should watch what people do and not what they say,” Nyhan advised. “There are a lot of people sitting in their houses on webcams telling everyone they should go back out and resume their lives.”

“That’s cheap talk from elites who aren’t frontline workers,” he continued, “who aren’t in essential roles that put them at risk. And I think it’s really being tossed out casually, in an irresponsible manner.”

But they are based out of New York City and would not be able to work there.
