As the coronavirus threat intensified in the U.S. in late February and early March, Fox viewers received different information than Americans who got their news from other sources. Trump and Fox consistently downplayed and even denied the existence of the coronavirus. On March 9, when 700-plus American coronavirus cases had been confirmed, Hannity told fox viewers that political enemies of Trump were using the virus to “bludgeon Trump with this new hoax.”
"The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success," Trump wrote in a tweet.
"I'm right on this, the coronavirus is the common cold folks. The hype of this thing as a pandemic, as the Andromeda strain, as OMG if you get it you're dead."

"The more I learn about coronavirus, the less concerned I am."

"It's a virus, like the flu. All the talk about coronavirus being so much more deadly, doesn’t reflect reality."

"I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic. I took it very seriously."

The American people should file a class action lawsuit against fox and Trump, for intentionally and deliberately misleading the public on the life threatening seriousness of the coronavirus during a national health crisis, that has now cost the lives of more than 6 thousand Americans.
