If trump gets really sick, Faux news may have a problem

unless they figure out how to spin themselves out of this. They have spent months telling a big part of their core audience, older folks, nothing to see here. Democratic hoax to bring down the president. This is just like the flu.

I won't underestimate the power of their BS. I see this becoming a problem if he gets really sick. Heck, even if he doesn't get really sick, I'm sure there are some older Fox viewers re-thinking things tonight.

Or Antifa. They'll bring on QAnon members to declare that China and/or the Democrats infected him intentionally.

Interview of a doctor slamming a msnbc doctor guest who had not examined Trump. Her guest had also NOT examined trump

Most of today was spent on whining about other networks pointing out trumps reckless behavior.

They're all in a pickle and don't know what to think. For months calling it a hoax and saying it was an election conspiracy. Now that Trump has become infected by it, they can no longer use those talking points. They almost have to do a complete reversal, which you know they won't ever do that. About the only option they have is to try and re-write history.
