Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out Fox News COVID Hypocrisy: They’re All Vaccinated!

“One of many causes individuals are so misinformed concerning the vaccine—and numerous different issues—is Fox Information,” Jimmy Kimmel stated Wednesday evening, highlighting a new study that reveals simply how deep that community’s disinformation marketing campaign about COVID-19 goes. In accordance with Media Issues, Fox “pushed a declare undermining vaccines throughout 99% of the times” between April 1st and September thirtieth of this 12 months.

“The 2 days they didn’t undermine it had been the times they took off to go get the vaccine,” the host joked. Final month, Fox Information revealed that greater than 90% of its workforce is vaccinated and applied a coverage below which any unvaccinated workers must endure day by day COVID testing.

“They scoff on the vaccine,” he added. “They’re all the time making enjoyable of individuals sporting masks, which is particularly nuts as a result of everybody, for those who go across the Fox Information constructing, you’d see that just about all people is sporting a masks!” He confirmed footage from a latest report on the community’s new Washington bureau to emphasise his level.

Kimmel did give credit score to Fox hosts like Steve Doocy and Sean Hannity for a minimum of mildly encouraging their viewers to get vaccinated, which is greater than might be stated for the “hardcore hammerheads” over at One America News. “They make Fox appear like Alyssa Milano,” Kimmel joked.

“And it seems they’re funded—and nobody knew this till yesterday—by AT&T!” he continued. “In 2013, they had been like, ‘You already know what this nation wants? And somebody was like, ‘I don’t know, reasonably priced healthcare?’ And so they stated ‘No! A good farther right-wing information community!’ After which they pumped tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars} into what turned One America Information.”

That community “reportedly promised to supply solely optimistic protection of AT&T,” Kimmel defined, “along with optimistic protection of Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, anti-vax conspiracy theorists, QAnon, racism, fascism, narcissism, botulism, genital herpes, all of the dangerous issues.”

“So good going, AT&T!” he concluded. “Fairly an funding in America.”
