Makes just as much sense to me that being concerned about corona virus is something they've identified as being associated with the blue tribe, and have decided to cut it out all on their own.

Go look at foxnews clown. There’s plenty of corona articles.

Because people at the top are losing money so they need the perception of risk to go away.

On their front page right now:

Matches for "Trump": 19 Matches for "coronavirus": 31

CNN: 13 for Trump, 14 for coronavirus MSNBC: 34 for Trump, 42 for coronavirus

Coronavirus is all over Fox News webpage. It's one of the "hot topics" at the top. There are a lot of mentions of it.

Just because the headline article changed? 1 hour after this is posted, the word coronavirus still appears 31 times, 8 times above the fold, and once as the hot topic "coronavirus spreads"... let's cool it.

This article is fake news. Let's not make a bad situation worse through disinformation.

A screenshot of their home page is hardly proof(is it buried under a different page?). This could just be editorial discretion at hand. Not much happened after the death of one american was covered on the 29th. My guess is that their viewers don't care one bit about what happens outside of the US and the topic does not engage enough viewers/visitors. If it was partisan I would expect the usual truth-twisting from them.

I think it is best to look at their coverage for a few days before coming to any conclusion.

Wasn't a second death reported today?

nik_0_02• 6 years ago

Yes. You can currently find that on the Fox News front page with the headline "Coronavirus kills 2nd man in Washington state, officials say".

Edit: Which, FWIW, is next to the article "Virus cases in this country jump by 50 percent in 1 day amid new US warnings"

Rush Limbaugh claimed it was the common cold, and that Dr. Nancy Messonnier was part of the deep state to undermine the president.

Laura Ingraham accused the Democrate of weaponizing fear over the issue.

This is false. And anyone posting partisan nonsense go look at foxnews. It’s loaded with corona news.

I'm no Fox News apologist, but this appears to be blatantly false/conspiracy-mongering. Should aussie.ai be banned from HN?

What is the blatantly false proposition? There is a screenshot, and then another screenshot later.

This parent comment appears to be blatantly false. Should brundolf be banned from HN?

The headline in the OP is "Fox News has stopped reporting on Coronavirus" and then goes on to extrapolate that to a far-fetched conspiracy theory.

Several people have chimed in saying that the virus is all over FN's front page, it's just no longer the very most prominent headline. So even the base fact is verifiably false. That's the definition of fake news. And this site goes beyond that and tries to incite conspiracy-thinking based on this false fact.

This is fake news and is demonstrably false.

Clickbait, misrepresenting or exaggerated headlines and weak, stretching statements anger / disappoint me because they demonstrate a lack of integrity. Also, free speech has absolutely nothing to do with what content a company chooses to display. Wouldn't a more factual headline, as mentioned on John Oliver a few hours prior to this writing, be "Fox News downplayed, misinformed viewers and trivialized COVID-19"? FN may not have yet started practicing journalistic integrity, but that's beside the point.
