A short Washington Post compilation showing Fox News hosts shifting from doubting the coronavirus to calling it a public health crisis.

Cited critically as evidence that some media minimized the pandemic and politicized it.

@kevin_thibedeau2025 · in “Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is America's largest recorded since the 1950s”

You left out how conservative media was adamant that it was a politically motivated hoax and ensured their faithful were kept in the dark about the looming threat. ▶ this video

@kevin_thibedeau2024 · in “Century-old stone "tsunami stones" dot Japan's coastline (2015)”

While there's plenty of blame to go around for the government's disinformation campaign, never forget that the entire cast of FauxNews personalities were decrying the initial cautionary stance as a politically motivated hoax and then turned around and changed their tune when it didn't turnout to be a dud like SARS 1.0. ▶ this video

@ihumanable2020 · in “Google bans two websites from its ad platform over protest articles”

Here's Fox News photoshopping coverage about CHAZ, they have had to issue an apology over it link Someone had to open the images in photoshop, alter them, and then upload them to a website. This isn't a simple lie of omission or a mistake, this is manufactured content to push a right-wing narrative. Fox News consistently pushed the right-wing line that Coronavirus is a hoax until they were threatened with a lawsuit ▶ this video While they were publicly telling their viewers that the virus was a hoax, internally they were implementing remote work and disease control. Here's a giant list of the ways they've supported conservative political goals while actively working against the left, with citations and source material in the footnotes link

@belltaco2020 · in “CDC coronavirus testing decision likely to haunt nation for months to come”

Whatever happened to American exceptionalism? >Did the administration cause every other countries problems with containing the virus too The American people did not elect and pay other countries to take care of them, they did for their government. The administration dismantled the pandemic team from the highest levels and along with their media cronies, actively minimized it for several weeks[1][2] and made it political, which is costing lives now. The other countries did not do that to Americans. [1] ▶ this video [2] link
