DUH, FEAR SELLS

Fox News has been selling coronavirus denialism for weeks now, but that seems to be changing -- FoxNews.com is now promoting the dedicated URL coronavirusnow.com:



Look, it's better than what Fox was doing. And why did it take so long? Everyone knows that fear sells, especially everyone at Fox News, which has been selling fear (of Democrats, of liberalism, of George Soros, of gun confiscation, etc., etc.) for years. (I think they actually believed their own denials.)

The health of America will benefit if these bastards are no longer selling coronavirus happy talk. Fox, I'm sure, will continue to be awful, but this is a sign that even the right might be becoming reality-based on the dangers we face, at least a little. I'll take it.
