Over the past year, the media has been an essential source for many to receive information about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In some cases, that means people got accurate information about the pandemic and the political nonsense that has defined it from the start. But unfortunately, a number of journalists on, ahem, certain channels (looking at you, Fox News) have done nothing but lie and deny. Now, though, prominent network hosts like Sean Hannity are backtracking on their COVID-denying claims. Which is good, I guess — but not quite as wholesome as it seems.
On Monday, Hannity told viewers, "Just like we've been saying, please take COVID seriously. I can't say it enough. Enough people have died. We don't need any more death." Although he didn't outright tell people to receive a vaccine, Hannity did urge them to "research like crazy" and said he believed in the science behind the vaccines.
