Why Fox News is beyond disgusting

Like trump, they don't believe a word they say.

When Hosts like Hannity and Tucker and Laura and Jeannie and Greg were telling people
Covid was a Hoax and was nothing to worry about.

You can bet each and everyone of them was telling their young family members to wear
a mask, they were telling their elder relatives to wear a mask social distance, they were
doing everything Dr Fauci was saying.

Now you can take all the normal news fake BS they do.

But they must of known their viewer base, while Hannity was calling this a Hoax
even though he knew it wasn't, he would've known people were dying because of
what he said.

It's actually beyond disgusting. No talk show host should ever book Fox News hosts on their
show again, even to have a light hearted, no decent person should go on Fox News themselves.

Again Fox News, has always been Faux News. But what they did with Covid, telling people it's okay
when they knew it wasn't, is not forgivable.

avoid contact with potential covid carriers. When u say FauxNews you could just as easily say Hypocrite Central.

It's been a common theme for many, many generations. It can work if you're lucky, but that's the thing, you need good fortune as well.

Murderous, racist thugs who care nothing for life of any kind, only power.

Sign of repentance before reaching out to the MAGA. However I received significant heat for it from the triangulists.

We were to build bridges and hold out a hand. It would've been chewed off by these maniacs.

From https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/tv-viewers-fcc-punish-cnn-trump-coverage-article-1.3493595

. . .

Nearly all of these complaints are misplaced, because cable news is not regulated by any government agency and the FCC has no ability to police it. Several viewers even complained about The New York Times and Washington Post, two newspapers that are in no way regulated by the government.
