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.
