Unless Sean Hannity changes his tune (he won't) and declares on national cable TV that there is a true and valid medical emergency in our society, Trump has the confidence of conning millions of people. They won't self-quarantine. They may not even seek medical attention.
Before the Virus, FOX News was merely political propaganda. It is now a means to killing countless number of us, including their own viewers.
How convincing is it? You believe it's mindless people in Nebraska and Idaho who dropped out of high school. People who put ketchup on noodles and call it marinara. Mindlessly repeating what FOX told them. I'm here to tell you that a valued friend and colleague quotes FOX. She is an attorney and we've worked together on cases. She understands the value of references that can't be questioned. And even yesterday, she used FOX as a reference to make a case.
As much as we all revile FOX, it is the enemy as much as Trump is.

I couldn't take it and turned it off after a few minutes.

(8,053 posts)5% of the fault lies with Rush Limbaugh and rightwing talk radio, but Rush is always on Fox, as well. Something has to be done about the lies and propaganda being spread on Fox. The other networks HAVE GOT TO JOIN TOGETHER to denounce what Fox has done, and to hammer and hammer on all the lies and lack of TRUE information (omissions) coming out of that cess pool.
