"'Covid?' What's a 'Covid'?" The pandemic as covered by Fox & Friends.

[skip fox]

Watching Fox & Friends this a.m. I only saw one mention of the pandemic, a 15 sec. slot on the search for vaccines.

I might have missed some by flipping channels,but I don't think so.

Is there a concerted campaign for the non-news programs on Fox to ignore the biggest story of the century that is affecting everyone's lives daily to help get Trump re-elected?

It seems undeniable.

2. COVID is news

Fox News doesn't cover news, though they're known to create it.

3. Fox "News" is a propaganda outlet spreading lies and disinformation

In a rational society, Fox "News" would not be allowed to endanger the people's health and welfare with their lies.

4. "The median age of Fox News viewers is 65"

According to Nielsen ratings, the median age of Fox’s audience was 66 in 2016. Following something of a youthful surge the following year, Adweek reported “good news” for Fox News early in 2018. Over the past year, the median age of the cable channel’s audience had dropped to 65. Looking at prime-time numbers alone, Fox viewers kicked back up to 66.

Getting away from the median doesn’t change the picture much. More than half of the Fox News audience is older than 65. If you go by raw numbers, of the 3.3 million households taking in Sean Hannity’s show on a nightly basis in 2018, just south of 2 million would have been senior citizens.

5. There's no law preventing Fox News from what they do which is why other news outlets need to treat

them not as news, but as a propaganda outlet. Other news agencies need to criticize them more.
