Retired Navy SEAL and former Vice Admiral Robert Harward returned to Fox News in the US this week as viewers, fuelled by a viral 'mask man' conspiracy, scrutinised his every move on air. The renewed attention followed Harward's earlier appearance on America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino on Tuesday 19 May, where he was invited to discuss Donald Trump's military operations in Iran.
That segment, a fairly standard foreign policy discussion on the surface, was rapidly derailed online when some viewers fixated on a faint line at the 69-year-old's neck. To them, it looked less like an ordinary shadow and more like the edge of an elaborate rubber mask.
