Fox News’s corporate parent has created a “Fox Clear Pass” system that allows workers who’ve been vaccinated to carry identification allowing them to escape covid-related restrictions, according to memos and emails I obtained. Sounds kind of like a covid passport, no?
The system was implemented on June 22, according to a memo sent out by the company’s HR department. A Fox News worker shared a recent email they received alerting them of their successful entry into the system.
Thank you for providing FOX with your vaccination information. You no longer are required to complete your daily screening through WorkCare/WorkMatters. However, please continue to monitor your health and stay home if you experience any of the symptoms.
Please keep this email and image stored in a safe place where you will be able to access it easily. You will be asked to provide it upon entering FOX Work Locations.
And I have a full-throated podcast recommendation: We just published American ISIS, which is the extraordinary story of an American from Reading, Pennsylvania who became one of the first foreign fighters for ISIS, and was there for the terror group’s last stand along the Euphrates. In between, he spent months answering questions sent to him by Intercept reporter Trevor Aaronson. The one condition was that none of it could be published unless he died and, not to give away the ending, but it’s been published.
The first episode is available free in the Deconstructed feed, and the rest is available unfortunately only through Audible -- but you can get a free month and then cancel if you don’t use it.
