A study by the Kaiser Family Foundation says that people who trust Fox News Channel and other outlets that appeal to conservatives are more likely to believe COVID-19 falsehoods than those who go elsewhere for news. (AP Photo/Ted Shaffrey, File)NEW YORK (AP) — People who trust Fox News Channel and other media outlets that appeal to conservatives are more likely to believe falsehoods about COVID-19 and vaccines than those who primarily go elsewhere for news, a study has found. For Fox News viewers, 36% either believed in or were unsure about four or more false statements, Kaiser said. Kaiser said 60% of Americans either believe that or said they didn’t know whether or not it was true. Roughly half of Republicans believe what they hear about the coronavirus on Fox, while only 18% of Democrats do.
