White House Praises Fox for 90% Staff Vaccination, Daily Testing of Unvaxxed
Wrap ^ | 15th September 2021 | Lindsey Ellefson

Posted on 09/17/2021 1:54:08 PM PDT by BusterDog

Fox Corp.’s chief human resources officer, Kevin Lord, told staffers Tuesday that the company had hit a 90% vaccination rate among full-time employees and will start giving daily COVID tests to those who are not vaccinated, prompting a happy response from the White House.

A White House spokesperson told CNN Tuesday night, “Today’s news from Fox News follows a trend we’re seeing across the country: vaccination and testing requirements work. We are glad they have stepped up to protect their workforce and strengthen the economy, and we encourage them convey to their audience that these types of practices will protect their employees, their communities, and the economy…”

Of course, the memo referred to all of Fox Corp, which includes Fox News, a network on which some hosts outwardly encourage vaccination and others are more cautious, telling viewers to make that choice on their own if they want to and that skepticism is okay. Fox News’ coverage of the vaccine — as well as other safety measures, like lockdowns and masking — has received significant criticism.

“White House Praise” is something I’d never want at this particular juncture

Is this why so many FOX familiar faces have been falling
off the screen lately?

I’ve never before seen so many new hires there.

I can’t keep up.

And they are hiring more brunettes now!

Whag kind of Nazi company imposes daily vaccine tests? Fox News is just another cog in the propaganda machine.

I hung in there for a while with several hosts, namely, Tucker Carlson, Steve Hilton, Dan Bongino and Mark Levin.

But someone pointed out a few months ago that even these four NEVER talk about the stolen election. At first I didn’t believe it, so I took notes first a week or so - and guess what - it’s true - they don’t! Not ever!

They may want to, but they don’t.

So, that was the last straw for me - I haven’t watched Fox since.

Look, I do sympathize - I realize they will be fired the next day if they mention the stolen election.

But let’s face it; if you are going call your show “Unfiltered” and boast about being the sworn enemy of political correctness and group think - you need to tell the truth even if it means losing your show.

The Biden regime praised a company for its 90% vaccination rate? I thought the Biden regime mandated that ALL companies must impose a 100% vaccination rate. Shouldn’t Biden be locking these people up?

OANN is free on iheart radio app, also the encore is free on Pluto and Roku channel. I pay the 2.50 a month - worth it.

Fox election criminals = Biden’s favorite bitches.

Have they done a single story on all the election crime yet... or are they still pretending nothing happened?

They’re using a test that can’t distinguish Covid from the common cold. I’m Sure it will work out great.

“But let’s face it; if you are going call your show “Unfiltered” and boast about being the sworn enemy of political correctness and group think - you need to tell the truth even if it means losing your show.”

Easy for you to say. It’s the Mothership, Fox Corp. handing down these vax edicts. Rupert Murdoch’s son is pretty much running the business now, and he’s a flaming Lib. He has to keep conservative talking heads on or he’d lose his audience altogether. They are the ones bringing in the Fox News profit. It sure isn’t their weekend news hosts who for the entire daytime scheduling are all Libs.

Remember also, Paul ‘RINO anti-Trumper’ Ryan is on their Board of Directors. The conservative hosts must walk a fine line. Thank goodness there is now an alternative, Newsmax, that has hired many prior Fox News hosts and contributors. Many of them are jumping ship or were pushed off of it and are now working for Newsmax. Newsmax is growing by leaps and bounds, endorsed by Trump and is the only station televising all of Trump’s rallies in their entirety. Now we just need another conservative station like Newsmax to add to televised conservative news. Keep them coming. Give Fox a big run for their money.

Newsmax has improved their content and their stable of newsies considerably over the past three months.

I find myself watching Newsmax more, and FOX less now.
