Fox is an Ethical news outlet

Fox is primarily porpaganda and opinon

most major media are more interested in proift than informing us

there are still many reputable news outlets, I will name some below

news as it was once known is dead or dying.

Fox and its producers and performers were lying as part of their business model.

Fox News’s repetition of Donald Trump’s lie that his 2020 defeat by Joe Biden was the result of electoral fraud, including claims about Dominion voting machines.
the filing “establishes that Fox was not only reckless” but also that producers, owners and personalities were “deliberately lying and knew they were lying about the nature of Dominion’s machines and the supposed way they could be manipulated

Filed last week, the 192-page court review document makes it clear that senior figures at Fox News from Rupert Murdoch down knew immediately after the election that claims of voter fraud, in particular those aimed at Dominion, were false.

about the dominion story :
Tucker Carlson : “ludicrous” and “off the rails”

Sean Hannity texted about “F’ing lunatics”

You’re allowed to be biased … you’re allowed to try to make money. And people should be able to disagree with each other in a newsroom. But if Fox anchors say they don’t believe X and then turn around and endorse X on air after expressing manifest disbelief in it, they have a real problem

but will this make any difference to the loyal Faux news Watchers?

stay tuned for further developments

The problem is that way too many people see what happens at FOX and extrapolate that out to represent "the media." A phrase that drives me insane. But it's perfectly American. If we can whine, complain, blame and feel like others make us do what "they" want then we're all in. The reality is that the last five years have been a golden age of journalism. Incredible work is being done. But that's not what sells. PEOPLE are ultimately responsible for what they consume. And the false equivalencies between fact-based reporting and propaganda need to end. But that won't happen until people understand the difference. And I think it's safe to say that most don't.

When you believe in a conspiracy, all contrary evidence just entrenches their beliefs.

Of course the election wasn't rigged. No amount of proof will convince them to the contrary.

@CountScrofula There you go. I'd say "alternative facts" falls under that banner too. So does Trump's definition of "fake news." It's all so BLATANTLY obvious and I think it blindsided a lot of people. Not sure many knew just how EASY it would be to convince people that the sky is actually green. Don't believe what you see. Believe what I say. Hell, hundreds of thousands of people DIED because they were convinced that Covid was a "hoax" intended to control people. It's mind numbing and does NOT bode well for the future.
