Patton Oswalt has had it up to here with Fox News coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.

The comedian, in a new interview with The Daily Beasts Last Laugh podcast , slammed personalities on the conservative network for calling to end lockdown measures from the safety of their own remote studios. The majority of Foxs New York workforce has been ordered to work from home.

Oswalt said he sympathized with people angry about not being able to return to work amid the public health crisis that has now killed at least 90,000 nationwide.

But he described it as very, very frustrating when you see peoples economic and job frustration being weaponized to benefit the rich.

Its kind of the height of evil when you see the Fox & Friends people, who are all coming in remote studios and safe from each other going, We need to end this social distancing, dont you think? the comedian said.
