It is tragic that former Washington State Patrol trooper Robert LaMay has died from covid, a pandemic disease that can be held at bay with a vaccination. What is more insult to him and his family is the fact that Fox News talking heads, who are vaccinated by company policy, touted him a hero for insulting our governor. Now that he has died Fox makes no mention of his passing.
The talking heads with their six-figure incomes are silent. Fox News with their misinformation and right-wing propaganda have been responsible for the deaths of many who otherwise might still be alive. Unfortunately, Fox and friends will not be held responsible for the misinformation. LaMay leaves a wife and children without a husband or father, but Fox will not offer any aid. There is only a donatiojn site to help his family. Fox has turned what is a public health issue into a political issue to the detriment of society. All to make money, create conservative opposition at the expense of lives.
May Officer LaMay rest in peace.
