MSNBC political journalist Mehdi Hasan believes Fox News is helping to kill people by disseminating information about weapons of mass destruction and COVID vaccines.
Hasan appeared on the network with Chris Hayes Monday after former general and Secretary of State Colin Powell died from complications from COVID-19.
“The first [irony] is that Colin Powell was part of an administration that misled the American people into a war that cost hundreds of thousands of innocent lives,” Hasan said.
During the same segment, MSNBC host Chris Hayes noted that Powell had a role in misleading the American public into the Iraq War.
“We are experiencing the deadliest bout of misinformation in our lifetimes, much of it coming from the same network that pushed the lies about the weapons of mass destruction, though they were not alone in that,” Hayes added.
“People actually die as a result of watching Fox News, whether it’s going to war in Iraq or the pandemic,” added Hasan.
