Fox News Devotes Entire Segment to Mocking COVID-19 Positive CNN Anchors



Fox News Devotes Entire Segment to Mocking COVID-19 Positive CNN Anchors
Fox News’ Laura Ingraham took a break from misleading viewers about all things coronavirus to disparage those at CNN who have shared their experiences while battling the virus
By Peter Wade


Fox News’ Laura Ingraham took a break from misleading viewers about all things coronavirus to disparage those at CNN who have shared their experiences while battling the virus.

On Wednesday night, Ingraham, who regularly trolls in dangerous coronavirus advice like touting untested drugs and encouraging people to take part in anti-stay-at-home protests, devoted more than five minutes of her program to talk smack about the newscasters, complete with pre-packaged graphics.

Guest Raymond Arroyo began the segment by panning CNN’s talent — Chris Cuomo, Brooke Baldwin, and Richard Quest — who have, in one way or another, spoken on-air about contracting the virus and its ramifications.

“Laura, the first rule of journalism is: don’t inject yourself into the story,” Arroyo snarked, adding, “But there seems to be a deliberate attempt to graft a slew of CNN anchors onto this COVID crisis.”

“A number of them have contracted the virus and emoted their personal experiences,” Arroyo continued. “It almost appears they’ve launched a series of new reality shows. You could call this one ‘Are You Sicker Than a CNN Anchor?’”

IIRC that bottle-blond ingraham is a 'real piece of work' who used part of her free time in college to sleuth and "out" her classmates that are LGBTQ and who were not yet publicly 'out' - ingraham and her friend did this apparently just for shear pleasure (again the fucking meanness).

how can people like that look themselves in the mirror?
