        Fox’s coronavirus coverage was a low point in the network’s shameful history.

        I was thinking about this last night. This has the potential to blow up the GOP's stranglehold on Southern evangelicals. Those folks may be tyrannical and dumb, but they aren't volunteers for a suicide pact. As they bury their fallen, they will remember all this.

        No, they're not volunteers for a suicide pact, but they'll edit their memories gladly to adopt a more favorable view of what happened. They will be thankful to the heroism of the President for stopping travel from China in time to prevent 100K deaths from ballooning to millions.
