"Papers, please," at Fox

Fox employees, including those who work at Fox News, received an email, obtained by CNN Business, from the company's Human Resources department in early June that said Fox had "developed a secure, voluntary way for employees to self-attest their vaccination status."
The system allows for employees to self-report to Fox the dates their shots were administered and which vaccines were used.
The company has encouraged employees to report their status, telling them that "providing this information to FOX will assist the company with space planning and contact tracing."
Employees who report their status are allowed to bypass the otherwise required daily health screening, according to a follow-up email those who reported their vaccination status received.
"Thank you for providing FOX with your vaccination information," the email said. "You no longer are required to complete your daily health screening through WorkCare/WorkMatters."
The concept, which was first reported Monday by Ryan Grim on The Hill's morning streaming show, is known internally as "FOX Clear Pass."
While the "Fox Clear Pass" is voluntary for employees, and other companies have similar tools, it is still remarkable, given how vocal Fox's top talent has been in criticizing the concept of vaccine passports. -
I imagine much of Fox's "top talent" will be resigning their enormously well paid jobs en-masse as a matter of principle.

Oh, like CNN's "top talent" even has any principles?? Maybe they're dumb on principle - like all liberals.

I can tell the nay-sayers here never watch FOX. I've never heard any of the on-air talent tell people not to get vaccinated.
Never.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Nor have I but...
Carlson interviewed someone (I forgot who it was) who said that he and his family are going to skip vaccination, saying it's his choice, and getting COVID is like getting a bad cold.
Carlson nodded and didn't push back on that statement.
So, he didn't say "don't get vaccinated." Rather, he, with his silence agreed with someone who refused. That's a distinction without a difference.

That's not what the article is about. It's about their "top talent" being very critical of the use of Covid passports, and Fox implementing a voluntary declaration process, which is half-way to exactly that.

Even those furthest right (Carlson, Hannity) seem to regularly encourage vaccination and condemn the 1/6 doofusses.
It has become a regular mantra to emphasize how holy they are, and to show up the cnn liberals who won't condemn riots and cop killers. But I think there was a cnn person who once said killing cops is not always the right thing to do.

I think you're splitting hairs. Tucker's silence could mean he understood the other person's position.

Voluntary is different from mandatory. Private business is different from public conveyance.
