Does FOX Noise (news) condone (and encourage) violence?

@BritishFailedAesthetic Once again, you seem to be incorrect and inaccurate... perhaps on purpose. If they encourage and condone violence, they are complicit.

"F" the NRA.

@BritishFailedAesthetic So if I tell your neighbor that you’re banging his wife, and he beats you up, that’s not my fault? Good to know.

@LeopoldBloom If you tell your neighbor that you're banging his wife, and are lying about it like Fox lies, and he beats you up, you bet you have liability for the consequences of your lie. Good to know.

@BritishFailedAesthetic What about when the "news" involves a very heavy thumb on the scale?

► Murdoch gave Jared Kushner "confidential information" about then-candidate Joe Biden's ads "along with debate strategy" in 2020, a filing said, offering Donald Trump's son-in-law "a preview of Biden's ads before they were public."

► Murdoch asked Fox News chief executive Suzanne Scott to have Sean Hannity say "something supportive" about Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham ahead of the 2020 election. Murdoch explained, "We cannot lose the Senate if at all possible."

► Following Trump's loss, Murdoch told Scott to "concentrate on Georgia" when the state was holding a high-stakes special election that would decide the balance of power in the US Senate, instructing her to be "helping any way we can."

► When Trump appealed for help defeating Republican West Virginia Senate candidate Don Blankenship, Murdoch told Scott and Fox News president Jay Wallace, "Anything during day helpful but Sean [Hannity] and Laura [Ingraham] dumping on him hard might save the day."

► When then-New York Post editor Col Allan told Murdoch that Biden's only hope for winning the election was "to stay in his basement and not face serious questions," Murdoch responded, "Just made sure Fox banging on about these issues. If the audience talks the theme will spread."

Taken in isolation, any one of these actions would be considered a major scandal at an actual news organization. There would be investigations and likely disciplinary measures would ensue. But at Fox News, that's not the case. That's almost certainly because the leadership does not view the channel in the same way that it is marketed to viewers and advertisers.

@ElwoodBlues If more Trump lovers knew about Blankenship, he'd be a real threat. More conservative than Trump, a lot smarter, and someone who really did start out in abject poverty and work his way to the top through talent and hard work. And he's a convicted criminal who spent a year in jail, too.

@LeopoldBloom He checks almost all the boxes. Does he have "family values" by virtue of having multiple families and divorces? Is he an evangelical Christian who proves his faith by lying constantly?

@windinhishair As far as I know, Blankenship is still married to his first wife. He was sued by a former employee who alleged abuse based on Blankenship harassing her for getting his McDonald's order wrong or hanging her coat incorrectly, but that sounds like normal "boss" stuff. After calling Mitch McConnell and his wife Elaine Chao a "China family," he said the Chinese aren't a race, as the races are "Negro, white, Hispanic, and Asian." As the CEO of Massey Energy, he was held responsible for the Big Branch mine disaster, which took the lives of 38 miners. He was convicted of a misdemeanor and served a year in jail. Blankenship resents being called a "felon" as he was never convicted of a felony.

The Constitution Party is anti-abortion, so I assume Blankenship holds that view. However, he says that climate change is real, but blames China for it and not the U.S.

Does this qualify?

@LeopoldBloom He is despicable enough, especially for his management of Massey Energy, which has a long list of deliberate safety violations to save money.

@windinhishair Well, then I'm mystified why he's not a major contender.

@LeopoldBloom It isn't over until the Fat Ex-President sings.

@windinhishair Traitor Tot has said he will continue his campaign even if he's indicted. I say, great, let's test that out.

@LeopoldBloom He could be the first presidential candidate to run from prison since Eugene V. Debs in 1920.
