| Do Democrats Want Millions of People to Die?
You might have that impression if you watched Fox's opinion shows in the last 24 hours.
Fox News primetime was all-in on bashing Democrats and the media for allegedly overhyping fears of a coronavirus outbreak on Thursday night. Hannity mocked alarmist coverage of the virus and Ingraham accused Democrats of "rooting" for American suffering.
Nutty stuff.
Donald Trump Jr. took things to 11 in an appearance on Fox & Friends Friday morning in which he claimed Democrats are hoping coronavirus "comes here and kills millions of people so that they could end Donald Trump’s streak of winning."
He called it "a new level of sickness.” Hmm.
CNN Calls Out Fox News, Trump Calls Out CNN
The lunacy on Fox opinion programs surrounding the potential pandemic was the subject of criticism over on CNN.
Brian Stelter called Fox's coverage "reprehensible." We're tempted to agree.
Trump made sure to target CNN during a Chopper Talk with reporters on Friday afternoon, accusing the network of “doing everything they can to instill fear in people."
The president dismissed worries about the administration's preparedness for the virus as "politics."
The Chris Matthews Problem
Chris Matthews has come under fierce criticism this week for his on-air antics, starting with controversial comments about Bernie Sanders and peaking with an interview with Elizabeth Warren that was deemed sexist.
On Friday, a regular MSNBC guest accused Matthews of sexually harassing her off-air.
Laura Bassett, a writer for GQ, had written a piece in 2017 accusing an anonymous cable news host of making inappropriate comments. On Friday, she revealed it was Matthews.
“Why haven’t I fallen in love with you yet?” she says he told her once. “Make sure you wipe this off her face after the show. We don’t make her up so some guy at a bar can look at her like this,” she claims he said in another instance.
MSNBC did not respond to Mediaite's request for comment.
South Carolina Primary Fever The South Carolina primary election is going down on Saturday, and it's Joe Biden's last chance to salvage any chance of wresting the nomination from Bernie Sanders, who stormed ahead in the first three states.
Biden is banking that his strong support amongst black voters (who make up the majority of the South Carolina Democratic electorate) will propel him to his first victory this election season.
Polls open in South Carolina at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m., so expect results to start coming in after that. According to FiveThirtyEight, Biden is the heavy favorite, expected to win 39 percent of the vote.
Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace will be sitting down with Biden on Sunday morning, win or lose... 6.5.0 |
