Quote:Fox News’ hypocrisy is on full display in its outraged coverage of President Joe Biden’s announcement yesterday that large businesses would now be required to have their workers either be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing for COVID-19 — something that Fox News has already been doing for months.Fox News tells viewers to “fight back” against the equivalent of Fox News’ own COVID-19 vaccination and testing practices | Media Matters for America
Previously, the network had attacked Biden for instituting a similar policy for the federal workforce. But it was also first reported two months ago that Fox News has used an internal program called the “Fox Clear Pass,” in which employees who provide their proof of vaccination could bypass daily health screenings — a policy that stands in stark contrast to the network’s relentless fearmongering about vaccine passports. And three weeks ago, Fox employees were further required to all upload their vaccination status into a human resources database. Meanwhile, the network’s content has relentlessly undermined vaccination efforts, celebrated people who refuse to take the vaccines, and even encouraged the use of counterfeit vaccination cards — all acts that Fox’s own human resources department would likely frown upon.
