POA: Corona Virus

Bingo and add Sean Hannity into that mix. His calling out others in the media for peddling conspiracies, especially surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, is rich, considering his own history. Just in the past few weeks, and before he pivoted to taking the crisis seriously, the Fox News star suggested that the pandemic was a deep state plot to hurt the American economy, claimed liberals were scaring people unnecessarily about the virus in order to "bludgeon Trump with this new hoax,” (his exact words) and insisted Democrats were “weaponizing” the disease to take down the president.

Hannity, spent weeks claiming COVID-19 was no more dangerous than the seasonal flu and also suggested earlier this month that people who vape could be immune to the deadly virus.

He is also well-known for peddling conspiracy theories about Democrats, especially former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Hannity was a leading promoter of the baseless theory that Clinton and the Democratic Party had DNC staffer Seth Rich murdered because he spoke to WikiLeaks. The Rich family later sued Fox News over the ordeal, and Hannity lost several advertisers.

Incidentally, a few weeks ago Trish Regan got fired from Fox news because she also tried to blame the dems for the virus!
