Fox To Host Coronavirus Town Hall With Donald Trump And Its Most Reliable Sycophants

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on March 23, 2020 · Flag

Tomorrow, Fox News will host a virtual town hall with its Dear Leader, Donald Trump, “leading members” of his coronavirus task force, Trumper-quack Dr. Oz and co-moderated by Trump-sycophants Harris Faulkner and Bill Hemmer.

AP has the details, including the fact that Fox-Trumper medical experts Dr. Nicole Saphier and Dr. Marc Siegel will also be on hand. As will Trumper Dr. Mehmet Oz.

It speaks volumes that Fox chose Faulkner and Hemmer rather than Chris Wallace and Bret Baier, its premiere anchors, to co-moderate. It’s not hard to guess why. Wallace and Baier are nowhere near the Trump lapdogs that Faulkner and Hemmer are.  

Saphier, you may recall, wants fewer people to have health insurance – that is, when she’s not playing a legal expert on TV and promoting Trump talking points. Siegel was most recently caught on video changing his medical opinion on the seriousness of the coronavirus, right in step with Trump. Let's just say that snake-oil salesman and sycophant Oz will fit right in, too.

While it’s easy to snicker and sneer at the slobbering to come, American lives are at risk in the pandemic. Trump has repeatedly lied and put forth misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic and he has botched the U.S. response. Now, with his hotels suffering under social distancing, he wants to tell Americans to stop staying home long before infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci thinks it's safe.

When choosing between protecting Americans and protecting Trump, Fox has already chosen to protect Trump. It’s a safe bet tomorrow will be no different.

Fox News is stinging from media criticism they’ve been towing Trump’s line, first downplaying coronavirus before flip-flopping with Trump to take it more seriously.

I just saw a clip of Tucker Carlson being the latest member of the TrumpTV™ franchise to data-mine an old clip to pretend he’s been on the forefront of ringing the alarm bell of the seriousness of the pandemic. Unfortunately for MAGA’s favorite white nationalist, the clip appears to me to be more a nationalistic opportunity to finger point at China

Which is the problem with Fox News. Their punditry is transactional, like Trump’s rage tweets. One day rage coronavirus is a problem as a bludgeon against China. Next day parrot Trump it’ll just go away, no worries.

As for Trump’s desperate hope about chloroquine being effective, we as foreigners took those pills until about 40 years ago, when the malaria pathogen became resistant to it. It’s not been widely used for decades and cannot, therefore, be a possible reason for Africa having such low numbers.

I would beg to suggest that the reason for those low numbers in Africa – and the USA – is lack of testing. There’s no way to know just how many people are infected in those realities. And the current administration wants to keep things like that … out of fear of the truth.

Thanks for the almost hysterical laugh, EOF!

I simply can’t watch the pressers any more. Pence in particular is slurping at Trump’s ego so much that I’m totally embarrassed for him (and the USA, in general).

With this cast of characters with Trump it’s certain Donald hasn’t been jerked off so hard since he was with Stormy Daniels.

Next week’s runaway winner in the Great OQ Contest? Hands down Dan Patrick. It could even be a unanimous decision.

Check this out, friends and neighbours…

I wonder if America really knows how screwed we are with the groper-in-chief and his sycophants playing grab-ass while our country burns?

Educated guess: Doctor Fauci will not be making an appearance.
