1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.
2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."
3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."
This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

A mural of Tony Fauci was meant to inspire staff. Then NIH took it down.
Five years after the coronavirus pandemic began, Trump officials continue to blame Fauci for missteps — and are minimizing his presence on his old campus.
