President Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News after host Neil Cavuto expressed shock at Trump's announcement that he is taking hydroxychloroquine as a prevention for the coronavirus.

The drug has not been proven as an effective treatment for the virus, and the Federal Drug Administration recently warned that there was a "risk of heart rhythm problems" and shouldn't be taken outside of a clinical or hospital setting.

Trump tweeted on Monday night that Fox News is not the same. "We miss the great Roger Ailes. You have more anti-Trump people, by far, than ever before. Looking for a new outlet!" Trump wrote.

Not attacking you, but I’m curious...

What does the caption under your signature image mean in Engrish?

America invented the paragraph. More history.

I think you are German. That explains much.

Is this an invasion? You will not force your evil soccer upon us. We will fight you on the beaches, we will fight you in the towns...etc.

The only reason so many people PLAY soccer, is so they don't have to WATCH soccer.

They used to force convicts on death row to watch soccer for disciplinary purposes, but the ACLU sued, calling it cruel and unusual punishment.

True story.

President Trump is exactly right. Dr. Manny and Neil Cavuto are highly misinformed on HCQ testing and test data. I am not a doctor, and I have little medical education. I am, though, a registered professional engineer, and I am also an expert on testing and test data having spent more than half a century in the field. Most doctors and all TV anchors are not good judges of test data.

As a current cancer patient, I trust doctors with my life. I don’t trust them to analyze test data, particularly data from from multiple sources. It is very easy to get bad data. There can be bias in the tester, inadvertent bias in the test protocol, statistical anomalies, simply poor practice, and more. There can even be bad data when none of those are present. In most cases, bad data should be abandoned, and certainly not published.

The biggest problem with HCQ is its politicization. Because of that, public discussions in the media are highly prejudiced. There are a good number of test results that support the use of HCQ (along with zinc and azithromycin) and a couple that don’t give much support. The media loudly proclaims the ones that don’t, and mostly ignore the ones that do. People (including doctors and news anchors) that get their information from the popular media don’t even see all of the facts on HCQ and have no ability to analyze them. They should be ignored. It’s clear that the current Fox ‘anchors’ are deeply imbedded in the Swamp. Ignore them, too.

It was medically necessary for him.

Multiple staffers tested positive.

It wasn’t only Cavuto,I watched lots of them react like children.

Lately, every Fox report of a Trump action or statement begins with a sentence that says “in a move which understandably outraged democrats....”

I keep saying, why the hell is everything being reported from the point of view of the opposition?

From the reporting on hydroxychloroquine, one would think no one in the media has ever heard of off-label uses of drugs. This a quite common occurrence. It raises familiar issues. Sometimes off-label uses are quite effective, but the regulators simply haven't caught up. Or they may be ineffective but still driven by word of mouth; social media is a great spreader of misinformation about this as so many other issues. The regulators are important gatekeepers but they are not infallible. The regulators also have an institutional bias towards keeping things off the market; it is far more hazardous to a bureaucrat's career to have approved something that has nasty side effects (think thalidomide) than to stonewall potential lifesaving breakthroughs, the benefits of which remain invisible because they are never approved (think Nestoring). A related issue is the "right to try;" regulators are not gods.

These are interesting questions. Given the global experimentation with hydroxychloroquine, a widely used, very familiar drug, it would be useful for the media to take this opportunity to explore them. But no: everything has to be about Trump. The stupidity of the press knows no bounds. But you already knew that.

Because the MSM *is* the opposition.

Pres. Trump should state at a press briefing that sunshine and fresh air are good for you. I guarantee the MSM would harp on the sun causing cancer. MSNBC would go a step further and suggest we would eliminate all climate change if we extinguished the Sun.

Let me get this straight.....Fox actually has a diversity of opinion? Are you telling me they are not all in lockstep political idolatry for “their guy”? The “other guys” do it for their side, so why shouldn’t we do it for our side? /s

Look a diversity of opinion doesn’t bother me. On Fox, pro-Trump views far outnumber anti Trump views; probably by a factor of at least 4 to 1. At least Cavuto and Wallace are critical of both sides unlike their counterparts on the other networks who either knowingly lie or ar willfully ignorant why barking out DNC talking points.

Ha! You beat me to it - I was also going to point out that those who take the drug for lupus and RA take it at home.

Dr. Mark Siegel was on Tucker’s show last night and said he’s convinced that Hydroxychloroquin saved his elderly father’s life.

The weekend hosts during the day are unwatchable.

(and they don’t air soccer, which is good)

That’s a bad argument since Germany had the fortitude to lead the way in opening up sports with their pro soccer league last weekend. It was a great take. And it was on Fox.

Cavuto was lying through his teeth saying the fake VA study was gospel when it only put people on the drug when they were almost dead. There are plenty of doctors who swear it is a miracle drug.

Overweight Neil shouldn’t be giving anyone advise on health. Shut up and play your casino stock market.

Cavuto was such a do-do yesterday. All big moonie worried eyeballs. Telling us how hydroxyquine can kill us.

I used to like Cavuto but now consider him an idiot.
