The Fox News Syndrome

Canadian John Roberts appears to have been infected with the Fox News Virus.  His reporting has the Fox News syndrome, leaving out the facts.  He's been in the States too long.

Re: The Fox News Syndrome

Wow. First thing I thought when hearing he died this morning was exactly that - that anti-vaxxers would somehow seize on it to spread their disinformation. Didn't think it would happen so quickly.

The family went out of their way in their statement of his passing to specifically mention the fact he was double vaccinated, so you have to wonder why. They said nothing about his cancer, which weakened his immune system. That, plus he was 84, is the reason he passed. 

And it didn't end just with Roberts.

Powell also dealt with prostrate issues and battled with Parkinson's.

Re: The Fox News Syndrome

Fox never liked Colin Powell since he called out and challenged Trump.  Powell was viewed as a moderate or old style Republican.  Mr. Powell along with John McCain and commentator David Frum didn't fit the Fox template of what a good Republican was.  So they were shunned by the network.
