Fox News Hosts Switch Sides On COVID-19 Mask Debate (Tucker Carlson & Laura Ingraham)

In March, Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson were two of the first major media personalities to endorse mask usage as an effective way to slow the spread of COVID-19. But as soon as the U.S. CDC switched sides and endorsed mask usage, they both switched sides to oppose the CDC.

This is a blatant example of them focusing on being contrarian to generate views and controversy instead of focusing on the truth and informing their viewers.

Tucker Carlson on 3/30: “Of course, masks work. Everyone knows that. Dozens of research papers have proved it…Asia—where coronavirus has been kept under control—masks were key.”

Laura Ingraham from Fox News in a nutshell:

3/23 when experts against masks: "MUST WEAR MASKS"

4/28 after experts recommend masks: they're "SOCIAL CONTROL" via "FEAR AND INTIMIDATION"

My mask protects you, your mask protects me.

Please wear one to save lives & restore jobs. https://t.co/NGCk2TLuHp
