VOTE BELOW!Oops.Fox News is facing backlash for not reporting on the Covid-related death of a former Washington state trooper, as the man had previously appeared on the network to critique vaccine mandates.
Robert LeMay was interviewed on several Fox shows back in October of last year, where he explained why he resigned from his position after refusing the Covid vaccine.
While the conservative network attempted to paint Mr LeMay as a defiant hero in the ongoing culture war, Fox itself has implemented a system whereby employees need to be vaccinated (or tested daily).
The 22-year veteran of the Washington state trooper force had actually received a medical exemption from getting a vaccine, but he still resigned before that was due to take effect. In doing so, his story became a politically expedient one for right-wing outlets that wished to bash proposed vaccine mandates.
On 18 October 2021, Mr LeMay appeared on Fox & Friends First, with co-host Carley Shimkus concluding an interview with him by saying: “The choices that people like you are being forced to make are pretty unbelievable,” before praising him as “a fantastic police officer” whose resignation was “Washington state’s loss”.
“What’s next for you — other than being a celebrity now — what’s next for you?” host Laura Ingraham asked toward the end of the interview. Mr LeMay replied that he was a “spokesperson” for thousands, even millions, of Americans, and also that he had some great job prospects.
“All right, well, a sleeping giant, maybe a sleeping giant,” Ms Ingraham added, referring back to Mr LeMay’s use of the term earlier in the interview. “We hope that that’s what’s happened here. We’ve awakened it slowly but surely. Robert, thank you for joining us. We really appreciate your voice and best of luck to you.”
On Friday evening, the chief of the Washington State Patrol issued a statement announcing Mr LeMay’s passing.
The odds of Fox mentioning it are pretty slim. Simply because like politicians, it's all about maintaining the narrative. That is why it's important to take everything you hear or see on the news with a salt mine full of salt. Because if the she was on the other foot a station like CNN would be hard pressed to mention it.
Nah. CNN is a news network. They correct errors and mistakes. FOX is a propaganda network that, and I'm not making this up, has said in court that they are an opinion show and no sane person should take them seriously. Tucker Carlson's lawyer used that defense.
I don't tale fox or cnn serious. Because both a politically biased and way to many studies have shown just how destructive political biases can be. But you won't see these studies on CNN or FOX because it would cast both of them in a different light and cause more people to question both. One of the big reasons why is because both the left and right would have to admit how destructive it is to both sides of the political isle.
Both would also have to admit that both sides of the political isle use the illusory truth effect to convince people that outright lies are the truth. They would have to admit the practice is baked it into mainstream media news networks.
Laura Ingraham should do a 30 minutes story on it since she told the cop he was a hero, which contributed to his death. She is most certainly vaccinated so what she did was an act of evil.
I'm sick of hearing about both sides of the argument to be honest! Those who want to take the vaccine will and those who don't won't. Those who want to wear masks and social distance, and those who don't There is enough detailed information to make your choice. I suggest we all do what we want then live or die based on our actions. Do I need to read about it? Nope!
As an American he had the right and freedom of choice to make that decision. He is probably better off than we will be by year 4 of Joe Biden. We all might wish we were dead and asking China to send another virus more lethal to end our misery. Inflation on its way to 50% if not hyperinfltion
Republicunts are not known for honesty or openness. They used that cop's choice to make a political statement which was stupid and ended up killing him, but they will not be honest and let their viewers know the truth.
Of course they'd claim he died from COVID, they most likely murdered him and then blamed it on COVID. Stop BELIEVING your horse shiit mainstream media. It's all to divide and conquer us. This whole pandemic is a SCAM
@Jerre @supercutebutt please both of you got get your 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th ++ death vaccines and boosters, you can even top up by taking mine for me. The less retards we have on this planet the better.
The way you describe it, it sounds like poetic Justice, though I am not well informed enough about the situation and the circumstances of his death to render an informed opinion.
The media lies all the time. I'm not saying g he didn't die, but from covid and with covid are completly different. But you libs love lying to push your points so he died "of covid"
So you would be proud to die over stubbornness than do what is right for yourself and your family? That's pretty stupid, dude. Were you at the very bottom of your high school class?
The asshole got a medical exemption, so he wasn't being forced. He thought he could get some fame by being a ridiculous political propagandist. But all he got was being sent to an early grave and eternity living in Hell with all of the other Trumptarded liars. :) He will be remembered as a punchline to jokes.
first off what they say on tv or radio is to get viewer's most don't believe what comes out of their mouth it's for ratings that is how they make their money, and they want to keep their fallowers its entertainment

They do have a responsibility to report that, yes. Though Fox "News" isn't known for being responsible.
The whole idea of what has happened from Covid and because of Covid is just too unbelievable to be true but yet it is. I think the response that some people have just leaves me speechless
This bitch is a bot. Yeah a lot of people speaking out against the agenda have mysteriously dies right after they went public, and it’s been blamed on covid. Convenient eh?
Go suck cnn. You idiot. Let him die , it's not you problem. The vaccine can't stop the propagation. And the cdc said , nature immunity is better , stfu
