Many Fox News hosts tried downplaying the virus and ignored the science and the health officials that tried warning the public.
NPR reports that Fox News boss Jay Wallace sent a directive Monday urging Fox anchors to take time on the air to remind protesters to practice social distancing, according to a senior executive at Fox. The executive said Wallace issued it at the behest of Fox CEO Suzanne Scott. Wallace and Scott declined to be interviewed for this story.
