Fox News Hosts Tell Viewers To Get Vaccinated After Receiving Backlash Over Misinformation

Two Fox News hosts on Monday urged viewers to get vaccinated against Covid-19 after receiving criticism for promoting anti-vaccination rhetoric.
The network has now dismissed theories surrounding the safety and efficacy of the vaccine, telling its viewers to get the shot it once openly questioned.
“One of the CDC officials said yesterday, look, the pandemic right now is really just with people who have not been vaccinated. Ninety-nine percent of the people who died have not been vaccinated. What they are trying to do is make sure that all of the people who have not been vaccinated get vaccinated, Steve Doocy said Monday on Fox & Friends.

Longtime correspondent Geraldo Rivera called Dan Bongino a son of a b live on-air. I wanna see the country burn? You son of a b . You re a punk, Bongino, Rivera said.
What started as a standard segment on looting between Fox News colleagues Geraldo Rivera and Dan Bongino Wednesday night quickly escalated into a shouting match before host Sean Hannity managed to cut to commercial.
Geraldo Rivera, a contributor-at-large with a tenure approaching 20 years at the network, lost his temper when podcaster, Fox News contributor, and frequent Hannity guest Dan Bongino told him to take a Valium and stop pretending to be a cop.
Hunter Biden sex tape on Thursday night.
Josh Boswell of the
Daily Mail joined
Tucker Carlson after writing about “what WASN’T in Hunter Biden’s book.” The segment included Carlson showing two explicit photos in question.
The first photo allegedly depicts Hunter Biden on his back with two naked women straddling him, with a giant stuffed Squirtle hauntingly smiling through it in the background.
The other photo aired allegedly shows a grinning Hunter Biden as he gripped a woman’s hair. Boswell described it as “quite disturbing stuff.”
They also showed a photo of what the
Mail described as “meth mouth.”
Fox News, the longtime top-ranked cable news network and, until recently, Trump s favorite media outlet, has lost its No. 1 status, too, with CNN now holding the top spot.
From Election Day through Inauguration Day, when Democrat Joe Biden was sworn in to succeed Trump as president, CNN was the most-watched cable news network in both total viewers (1.8 million) and those 25-to-54 (501,000), the key news demographic, according to Nielsen ratings.
Fox dropped to third (1.5 million) across the day, trailing MSNBC (1.6 million), although it narrowly leads MSNBC (283,000 to 278,000) among viewers ages 25 to 54.
CNN also took over the top spot among viewers in the key demographic in prime time, where Fox features its biggest hitters – opinion hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham – although Fox remains No. 1 overall.
