In their coverage of treatment of Covid-19, Fox News has a story here where they talk about New Yorkers that are being treated with hydroxychloroquine. However, the video (also talking about US usage of anti-malarial drugs) uses a image taken in France of the painkiller Tramadol (available from Getty Images), so not only is it not a picture of an anti-malaria drug, it's not even a drug in the right country or even the right continent (let alone the right state). While they don't directly say that the pills are a picture of hydroxychloroquine and is a suitable representation of a pill and it illustrates the general concept just fine, using a picture from the wrong country for an illustrative purpose is now highly unethical, since ethics are consistent. Either incredibly incompetent or really malicious of them.

Here's the archive for the Fox News article, though it doesn't include the video so the direct link is provided above.
