Biden said on February 28 that it was not a time to panic, but that the coronavirus should be taken seriously. The smoking gun. Biden's obviously finished! Did you hear the even, measured tone he was using? He didn't even call it the Gyna virus or call Trump Dumb Donald or anything. How is that even presidential?! Hannity has saved the country.

That Hannity was telling his audience that the virus was a Democratic hoax.

She does a special segment where a reporter has the daily slow-joe moments. Ingraham laughs at Joe Biden. Total bs.

What an idiot! Joe looks reasonable and Presidential. He said we need to take it seriously. Plus, most importantly, Joe Biden didn’t have the direct intelligence on the virus that Trump did.

Man, Hannity really grasping at straws.

and say that we are hypocrites for only criticizing Trump.

When in reality, you can inform the public the severity of the virus (which Biden did) while keeping the public calm. We needed to know how to combat the virus, not being lied to that the virus isn't lethal or it will magically go away. Trump not only downplay the effect of the virus, he and the GOP actively belittle people for any virus prevention. They are trying to rewrite history that they have always "cared" about the virus.

way Trump should have reacted - "stay calm but this is serious."

If Hannity honestly cannot see the difference, he is as dumb as Trump.

15. This is propaganda to keep Trump's base from leaving Trump

This is how FOX news helps Trump keep his base of support in check.

If the Biden people can figure out how to break FOX news hold on TRump's base, Trump would go down in flames. Trump would go down to 30% support at least. Most likely 25%.

Conservative media propaganda is all Trump has left as his source of power.
