CNN: How Fox News misled viewers about the coronavirus

It's not everyday that CNN gets it right, but it's hard to argue with this one.

It's been very frustrating dealing with people who have their heads in the ground because of Fox/Trump's downplaying of COVID19...

Of all of Fox's coverage, I only saw that Tucker clip. But now it makes sense why I've been hearing all these irrational arguments.

All I know, is that my pediatrician told someone to turn off the news and relax. He said it’s not much worse than the flu
FWIW I didn’t see fox or cnn’s coverage but I know that no stores have toilet paper

How about you turn off Fox News and just read what the epidemiologists are saying. And if you’re feeling extra bold, you can even read what any national health official is saying. And once you’re done with that, you can take any phone book, select the name of any random pediatrician and you’ll be confident that they are not less qualified than who you currently use.

I would not turn off FOX. You need to know where this stuff is coming from. I would also watch the flipside MSNBC.

Why would I trust cnn and msnbc all of a sudden, if they’ve been so wrong on what for now is unimportant things ( politics) why would I trust them with my health and the health of my family??
Not saying I trust Fox either...

All joking aside if the medical experts believe this is way worse than the flu doesn't it concern you that your doctor disagrees with them? Would it be prudent to question him further on this?

No need to trust them but see what both sides are saying. Then trust the experts in the field.

Doctors aren’t automatically qualified to understand a new virus with rapidly changing research unless they’ve put in the time to properly research the matter. And if they haven’t done that, they aren’t qualified to contradict the CDC, NIH, and every other well respected expert.

Which epidemiologists? The ones on Fox or on MSNBC? This is an unfortunate reality.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has been on both. Not sure he will be invited back to FOX after yesterday.
