There seems to be a concerted effort today by Fox's daytime news shows to promote the vaccines to its audience.

Dr. Marc Siegel says "the Delta variant needs to be a wake-up call to get vaccinated."

Anchor John Roberts then directs viewers to the government vaccine website.

So, Fox is admitting that they've been lying? Got it.

[PortTack]

1. So are they getting legal pressure ..something happened ..why would they change their mind

[lagomorph777]

14. Realized they were killing off their Nielsen ratings...

...by killing off their viewers.

[Deminpenn]

18. This

[dutch777]

21. Yep! They may be dumb but they aren't stupid

At some point too, a class action lawsuit by families that lost loved one to Covid because they listened to Fox and other RWNJ's lies, could get legal traction and be VERY costly.

[Mike Nelson]

2. The ones to watch...

... are the high-rated evening shows. I wonder if they will keep promoting vaccination.

7. Well you know I'm not the only one who has questions

[BlueLucy]

12. I found it.

He's pandering to people's biases in order to make money. These people are the same ones who claim to aspire to live a christ like life.

29. I think this is it...link got corrupted above...

3. Meh, it's one guest

The primetime guys will be casting doubt about the vaccine all night.

And the damage is already done, even if FOX changes its tune, Newsmax won't.

4. Doocey also said to take the vaccine this morning.

[UTUSN]

15. Because a weatherman knows stuff. Is his brat spawn going to apologize to PSAKI?!1

Silly post o'mine, but I just detest those people.

23. most fox news readers

endorse and support covid vaccination, including the loathsome hannity.

the two notable exceptions are tucker and ingraham, who sell their stochastic mass murdering terrorism frequently on their shows.

the class action suit should include the possibility of a lifetime prison sentence with no possibility of parole. solitary confinement until dead is also something that would be justice.

5. Capitalistas are getting worried about slipping into a recession

The stock market slipping must’ve put the zap on their heads, so Ruprecht Morlock got his marching orders from those gnomes behind the scenes who wield the real power.

6. News broke revealing Faux employee vax passport!

[DFW]

19. That's what I think did the trick.

When their night wrecking crew comes on and says vaccine is useless, and the next day it turns out that they all been vaccinated, their audience can't figure out which Fox Noise to believe. Since most Foxsuckers believe everything they hear on Fox, they have a hard time of it when they get conflicting messages from their single source.

It must be hard for them to run out and get vaccinated in the afternoon, and then yell at the idiot in the mirror in the evening for having gotten the shot.

[SheltieLover]

20. Absolutely no doubt in my mind that's what did the trick!

Now if only they had a modicum of bling between their neuront to realize Faux was trying to kill them!

The cognitive dissonance in their heads must sound like a heavy metal concert on steroids.

10. Watch it all get undone starting at 8pm tonight. NT

11. This can only be the result of recognizing liability and possible...

...criminal charges at least at the level of manslaughter or worse.

It certainly doesn't arise out of any sense of ethics or decency, since neither have any meaning in this cesspool of falsehoods and immorality.

[90-percent]

27. ethics or decency

not where the big money is these days. mis/dis info is lavishly rewarded by the morbidly wealthy, so as to get more for them via less for you. most of our so called capitalists are actual striving to own monopolies. immune to the forces of the free market and competition. overly powerful corporations are vile and pernicious. and un-American. bust the trusts! or at least tax them at the same rate as the middle class.

Greed is loathsome and predatory and must be banished from a fair and just society.

13. I hope it works.

We're on an accelerating collision course with reality - and, even if they convince followers to get vaccinated - reality is only about a month and a half away - the length of time it takes to get fully vaccinated.

[FlyingPiggy]

17. Maybe a light bulb just went off that their base is dying off

Without the Covid vax

[displacedtexan]

22. My first thought was about the market falling because of Delta.

FOX continuing to run down the vaccines is bad for Murdoch's bottom line.

[TheProle]

24. Good n/t

[LowerManhattanite]

28. Legal exposure.

Threat to broadcast licenses if they go 24-7 disinformation.

So the evening shift’ll pretty much maintain status quo but the network will be able to pull up these snippets as “proof” that they made a “good faith” effort or some such bullsh*t when the class action suit is lodged.

Waiting for someone to leak the text/email to senior producers and talent from legal encouraging them to sprinkle this in. (It wouldn’t an email to everyone—that’d make it too easy to disseminate.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

30. What broadcast license?

Faux operates on cable, so, no license, and the FCC has zero authority to regulate content on cable.
