President Donald Trump doesn’t tell the truth that often and neither
does Fox News. Both, however, seem to have come around to the idea that
the coronavirus is not only a bad thing but a real thing. It took each a
long time to put aside their own political or financial self-interest
in an alternative reality where everything was fine and Trump was to
thank, but they more or less got there eventually. We obviously have
bigger problems to face at the moment than the damage done nightly by
Sean Hannity’s Biff-Tannen-does-the-news routine, though the president
lying over and over and over again will never not be a grave threat. It
is even more of a problem now, during a pandemic, when people are
looking for enlightened leadership and where accuracy and
straightforwardness can stave off panic, save lives, and inspire
confidence.
