Media Matters: Fox’s antivax programming is a moral abomination, but at least it’s “great for ratings”
Fox News’ COVID-19 anti-vaccine commentary is a moral abomination that is driving down vaccination rates and killing Americans, including its viewers. But there is a silver lining, according to Fox insiders: It’s “great for ratings.”
Look at the political divide over vaccinations if you want to see the true Fox effect.
The political divide over vaccinations is so large that almost every reliably blue state now has a higher vaccination rate than almost every reliably red state.https://t.co/grkrSb1cuE
