A US satirical broadcast compares the statements of several prominent personalities on the station Fox News. With a surprising result.
New York – There is talk of “hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated immigrants”. And a “900 percent increase in the infection rate” among migrants, as well as an inaction by US President Joe Biden. The team of the populist US television channel Fox News has recently issued a warning of the renewed spread of the corona virus in the United States.
At least in the context of the immigration from South and Central America across the Mexican border criticized by many Republicans and American right-wing extremists, many prominent faces of the station are now dramatizing the possibility of infection with the corona virus. In the past few months, however, the majority of them had presented the broadcaster’s news programs as completely harmless.

Fox News’ contradictions have now been clearly presented on the satire news show “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah”, which is broadcast on “Comedy Central” and is currently on summer break. During the break, however, the team regularly uploads videos to the YouTube platform, including a compilation of several statements from well-known Fox News actors. The warnings about numerous migrants allegedly infected with corona are followed by earlier statements from the Fox News team, which confirm again and again that the virus could not harm most people in the United States. The appeasement is underlaid with the calming first notes of Grieg’s Peer-Gynt-Suite.
For example, the prominent Fox News host Tucker Carlson initially spoke of a “massive onslaught of Covid-positive foreign nationals” streaming across the southern border of the USA. In a comment on the effects of the pandemic in the USA, however, the cut quotes a statement by Carlson in which he emphasizes: “The survival rate after corona disease is over 99 percent. For the vast majority of Americans there is no risk. “

They are literally just bringing them into the interior of the United States ”. Pirro had previously criticized that “all the talk about the coronavirus being so much more deadly” does not reflect reality. The other well-known personalities of the opinion division of the US broadcaster, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity, join the canon of sudden change of heart. (Sandra Kathe)
