Murdoch-owned right wing outlets including New York Post and Fox News have run stories discounting public health and government officials and their guidance around masks and vaccination. Now they are having their employees adhere to the very policies they have been criticizing. And the latest: The Post is now requiring all employees to wear a mask in the office, according to a company memo obtained by CNN Business.
The memo specifies that employees are required to wear a mask and cover their faces when away from their desks or when speaking to colleagues. Owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, the latest mandate is a notable shift for a company that has been pushing anti-mask stories and broadcasts as the pandemic continues.
