Back in June, Fox News used to run segments about “Post-Pandemic Liberty.” They really thought if they wished hard enough it would just go away.
Those segments started after Trump announced that he was going to start holding rallies again. So Fox provided cover for him, telling everyone that we were in a “post-pandemic” time. It was all just so wildly irresponsible.
There are more examples from back around then in this thread from @peltzmadeline https://twitter.com/peltzmadeline/status/1276211714560753671
It really makes me sad to think about how a major news network spent months downplaying the virus, telling audiences that other news outlets were overhyping it as a way to hurt the president’s re-election chances.
