So banning international travel could have at least stopped it from reaching Germany. I think you are making his point while arguing on a technicality. I see no conceivable way that the economic loss of tourism or "business trips"

The most popular news network by far is Fox News due to a few of its hosts that support the political right. If profit were the primary concern of the other networks, they would hire some conservative journalists to steal Fox's market
