Hannity tonight is now telling his audience it's time to take covid seriously and get vaccinated.

1. Must have been threatened with lawsuits.

[Mosby]

51. Maybe, or the market crash.

Delta is hurting the Dow. Can't have that.

[lame54]

2. "Just like we've been saying"...

[Progressive Jones]

6. Yeah, that was funny! nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

8. Now every Fox viewer believes Fox has promoted the vaccine.

You see we allowed the truth to not matter, at all, anymore.

It started with even people on the left believing Hillary Clinton wasnt "all that", she was, in fact (as in real good) but the truth no longer matters so fuck it, many of us are gonna die.

[bottomofthehill]

3. Their voters are dying.

Suddenly they realize they need them

[NCjack]

21. GQP and FUCKS have decimated the RWNJ voter rolls.

[tanyev]

23. Yeah, somebody finally did the math on the future of their audience

and the Republican party if they all keep refusing to get vaccinated.

[lagomorph777]

35. Their Neilsens are tanking; suddenly realized it's because they're slaughtering their viewers.

[Progressive Jones]

4. Maybe some sort of lawsuit or prosecutorial threat dropped this morning. nt

[LonePirate]

30. Doocy on their morning show advocated for vaccines today as well. Something could be coming.

[brush]

39. Fox suits must've sent the memo to everyone to urge getting vaccinated.

I'm pretty sure they were warned that law suits are in the offing if they don't stop their hosts from scoffing at the vaccine.

[BeyondGeography]

5. The well-being of their dipshit audience matters far less than the Dow

Oh well. Whatever works.

[NewHendoLib]

7. what fucking game to these ignorant assholes think they are playing?

[dweller]

9. Too late

There’s more than enough footage of his bs , and it needs to be aired regularly
He’s still an ass


✌🏻

[oasis]

13. Tuck can run but he cannot hide from his past lies on the subject.

[keithbvadu2]

18. Tucker got it?

[oasis]

22. Hell yes. In his position, he is in constant contact with Fox folks and

many conservative groups.

[BGBD]

48. Tucker was freaking the fuck out

About covid early on. He even called Trumobout over his response a few times.

I'd bet my wad on tucker having taking the vaccine first chance he got.

[3catwoman3]

10. Talk about a day late and...

…a dollar short!

[Stallion]

11. That's so 2020--and 16 Months Too Late

[uponit7771]

12. they must be facing lawsuites

[struggle4progress]

14. Uh-oh! The Russian mob will be coming soon to ask for their money back

[Blue Owl]

15. Wow, what a fucking trustworthy news network FOX is

One hour you have Hannity saying “get vaxxed” and the next you have Carlson saying “don’t get vaxxed.” Solid stuff, there….

[Fullduplexxx]

16. now that the stockmarket is tanking

[IcyPeas]

46. Coincidence? I think not.

[fantase56]

17. Actually that's not Hannity....

Hannity has been kidnapped by the deep state and is being held in an underground FEMA reeducation camp beneath a Wal-Mart. That's actually a clone created by the Gates/Soros Enterprises from the DNA of children being held in a pizza parlor basement.........

[Retired Engineer Bob]

34. I've been thinking the same thing

[flying rabbit]

19. I noticed the pattern of his blinking. He is being forced to say this.

Hannity has been compromised. That's what they will say anyway.

[SunImp]

20. Hannity and his viewers are to blame for most of the covid deaths so far

Hope karma gets them back soon

[Quixote1818]

24. Stock market crash may have something to do with this. Pressure from Wall Street is the only thing

that works with these assholes!

[herding cats]

27. I truly don't think so.

I've seen this suggested, but honestly that's their goal. Break the economy under Biden and they have a platform to win re-election.

I think it's something else. Whatever it is, I'm 100% positive it's not public health.

[Johnny2X2X]

40. They can't kill their voters.

Someone did some research, sat down and did some math. Looked at the demographics of who has died from Covid, who is dying from Covid, and who will die of Covid. And they realized that it’s very likely killed more of their voters than Democratic voters. I honestly thinks that’s what happened. And they didn’t just do basic stuff, they probably cross referenced the data with their likely voter models. They realized this has cost them hundreds of thousands of voters and will cost them hundreds of thousands more if they don’t start changing their tune.

Seriously, 95% of the people dying right now are Righties, this accelerates and they could lose tens of thousand of voters per swing state.

[herding cats]

42. Yes, this.

Eventually the numbers begin to add up. When they do, all that hard fought redistricting is in danger.

Also, when people keep getting sick and their elderly relatives/friends subsequently die, people are paying more attention. I'm definitely not saying they're speaking out, but they're watching the community. Here vaccines go up when deaths do. I'm speaking rurally. How many of those folks can they afford to alienate and/or lose due to Covid? Quite a few in some districts, but far less in others.

It's a numbers game where it's far too easy to overplay your hand.

[herding cats]

25. I'm not sure if they're trying to mitigate lawsuits or their base catching on to the con.

Both are highly likely here as the unvaccinated continue to bear the brunt of this pandemic.

[Initech]

26. Guess you can say "we told you so".

[MerryBlooms]

28. Lol, is hannity now pretending to be the clean-up Covid hitter for carlson and fox?

[herding cats]

31. He's not the only one I saw making this argument today.

Doosey did as well. There's something in the wind at FOX. It smells rotten, like they're belatedly trying to establish some plausible deniability.

This may just be me catching this foul air, though.

[herding cats]

45. Oh. I can feel you.

My clients are also filled with RW nuts. It's painful to deal with. Yep

I feel your pain on many, many levels.

[lindysalsagal]

49. What? I've never seen some of the Faux lemmings turn around and not run off the cliff...

Maybe being anti-vaxx just got too ordinary and so they're rebelling from their old conspiracy to a new one: The libtards tried to keep them from getting vaxxed. It was us trying to kill them!

[BigmanPigman]

29. Did word get out that Fox employees all got vaxxed secretly?

[Nevilledog]

37. Pretty much.

[johnp3907]

32. And Generalissimo Franco is still dead.

[Pobeka]

33. When you win elections by thin margins, killing off the margin is a bad idea.

I think they've worked out the political calculus on this and thus the change in promoting the vaccines.

Problem is, there is no vaccine that will get them immunity fast enough now. In three weeks there will be new covid case numbers nearly what there was mid-January 2021. Except this time, the super majority of those dying will be GOP voters.

I think another 100k to 200k are going to die in the next wave, which is a loss of votes, plus some of the surviving relatives will actually come to terms with reality, be irate and start voting DEM.

[lagomorph777]

36. Bingo. Plus, dead viewers are bad for ratings.

[Johnny2X2X]

41. I agree

I think a campaign statistician sat down and did some math and told the party leaders that this could be a disaster for them, they could lose hundreds of thousands of voters, a lot of them in swing states.

[SoCalDavidS]

43. Too Fucking Late Dipshit

It's already baked in. Actually it's burnt.

[Hamlette]

44. What do you bet he has money in the market. Which nosedived today.

Delta caused the dip today. Sean wants his money back.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

47. In addition to above mentioned reasons, I wonder if advertiser pressure is involved.

KY........

[Major Nikon]

50. Meanwhile Hannity viewers....
