Since the outset of the pandemic, Fox has downplayed the severity of the coronavirus. The network's hosts have peddled misinformation about the virus and railed against restrictions put into place to protect public health. While Fox did air a Sunday night special in February devoted to the vaccines, the network's top host, Tucker Carlson, has most recently used his nightly show to undermine public confidence in the vaccines.

Fox as a company, however, has taken precautions to protect its employees, following CDC protocols for mask-wearing and social distancing. Lachlan Murdoch, the chief executive of Fox Corporation, said in a memo recently that staffers should not expect to return to work until after Labor Day.

I for one feel like for the safety of all employees, their anchors and hosts should take time off until after Labor Day also and they can air old episodes of sitcoms on that channel instead.

You seriously that insane that you'd say something moddable about a guy just because he works for a company you hate?

Spinato worked at Fox for nearly 20 years. He joined the network in 1998, before briefly leaving in 2004 to work at CNN and MSNBC. He returned to Fox in 2007 and worked at the company ever since, working primarily with Maria Bartiromo.

He was a producer, not an on air personality. Behind the scenes people float across companies all the time.

Obviously not since I didn't, genius.

I won't celebrate his death, but I also give insincere statements of condolence over someone who helped finance a massive Covid "conspiracy" machine that panders to the fears of the dumbest and most gullible of our citizens, which has had a drastic impact on the severity of the pandemic in the US.

You understand there's a hell of a lot of middle ground between jubilation and grief, yes?
