CNN anchor Dana Bash took a direct shot Sunday at rival Fox News in an interview with Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, asking if the top-rated cable news channel was “killing people” with its commentary on the COVID-19 vaccination. Ms. Bash noted that President Biden charged social-media platforms Friday with “killing people” by allowing the spread of vaccine misinformation, and then played clips from Fox’s “The Ingraham Angle” and “Tucker Carlson Tonight” as well as Newsmax. “President Biden did accuse social media platforms of killing people. Do you think conservative media like Fox News are doing the same? “There’s nothing more anti-democratic, anti-freedom than pushing an experimental drug on Americans against their will,” said Ms. Ingraham in the clip.
