Watchdog Report Exposes Stunning Frequency Of Fox News' Vaccine-Bashing
HuffPost
Media Matters for America analyzed six months of programming on the conservative network.
Fox News aired claims that undermine COVID-19 vaccines on a staggering 99% of days in the last six months, according to new research conducted by progressive media watchdog group Media Matters for America.
Only two days from April through September didn’t feature the sowing of doubt about the safe and effective shots. They came in late August and early September when the conservative network’s coverage was instead focused on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the group said in a report released Tuesday.
The watchdog analyzed thousands of hours worth of transcripts of original programming, it said. It “deemed claims to be undermining vaccines if they described the vaccines as: unnecessary or dangerous; coercive, representing government overreach, or violating personal freedom or choice; or cynical ploys for political or financial gain.”
