    Oh yes. I’ve often thought that the people on Fox are just playing a role. They can’t really believe the things they say. But, people will do almost anything for money.

    But, I do feel sorry for the people that eat up what they are selling at Fox. It’s really sad and just evil how Fox viewers are duped. Fox is just preying on Americans ill equipped to see things as they really are. It’s just so damn sad.

    The point is that while Fox was broadcasting to its viewers how much of a hoax the coronavirus was six weeks ago - it was warning it's own staff to take it seriously

    one thing about Oliver is he never has anyone on air that disagrees with him

    he did it once when he subbed for John Stewart and got his ass handed to him by Rand Paul

    When you don't have interview guests on your show, it makes it really difficult to schedule interview guests who disagree with you.

    I'm guessing you don't watch often.

    I say it's time for Cuomo and De Blasio to grant Fox News a special waiver so they can all get their asses back to work.

    That, or they can trade HQ with CNN for the rest of 2020.

    Foxnews has not been discouraging social distancing and has been taking this pandemic very seriously.

    Is simultaneously laughing, choking and vomiting into your mouth a symptom of covid?

    One thing would be if you responded to the topic about fox news claiming this was hysteria and a hoax while is was warning its staff to take it seriously. Does that not bother you at all?
