On CNN’s Reliable Sources this morning, Miles O’Brien, science correspondent for PBS NewsHour, had some very strong words for the irresponsible coverage of the Ebola virus from many media sources — especially Fox News, where they’ve been in non-stop fear-mongering mode.
Perhaps the most outrageous comments on Fox News came from Andrea Tantaros (which is not unusual for her), who actually said she was afraid someone could “get off a flight and seek treatment from a witch doctor who practices Santeria.” Absolutely blatant racism for the right wing base.
