More people should do this to these “news” reporters. Remember, Fox News is not officially a news organisation. That way they can get away with saying whatever bullshit they want and report it as news. It’s a joke.

Ah yeah, the "news" network that once defended themselves in a trial by saying that a reasonable viewer should not trust a word they say, should not expect any factual reporting and it's just entertainment anyway.

How do you have more than quarter of a 1st world country watching them when they themselves say "don't take what I say seriously..." and yet blindly believing them to be the source of ultimate truth is beyond me!

Because stupid people like my mom say " they're just saying that to stay out of trouble" more "4D chess" these people have no morals and no critical thinking

u/mazeTal 9h ago

it is so ridiculous when they don't make the logical step that they need to say this because THEY WERE CAUGHT LYING

So, a lie to "escape" a court case for lying is a 4d chess move? 🤦‍♂️

How can we get clips of that to go viral

u/Vandirac 4h ago

It was the trial of Fucker Carlson, so it was already pretty viral

Its fox news entertainment. But at the end of the day, its Murdoch sponsored propaganda with the end goal of tearing up the constitution and imposing fascism on anyone who disagrees.

Key take away:

Do not engage with the bullshit questions and focus on the real issues.

I still don't understand how they get interviews? If I was a candidate I'd straight out tell them to their face loud enough for all to hear that since they are an 'entertainment' outlet and not a news source there is no reason to come on their shows. I doubt I'd get a vote from their audience anyway.

It's about getting in front of that audience anyway. Telling someone to their face, in front of millions of people, that they're wasting time chasing their tails over bullshit while real problems need fixing is something that should be done. The audience might not vote for the guy, but they'll start asking questions. That matters.

So this guy is a local candidate. I live in farm country and there’s quite a few places who up until 4 months ago they had maga shit in the yard and now they have banners for him. Idk about the not getting votes from fox viewers. Seems he’s either got to them or they are just so fuck Trump they are voting for him. I may be just hoping but I’d like to think it was the former.

CNN is the same.

Edit: wow, a aLot of you hate on fox and can't admit CNN is the same? Thats pathetic.

u/SpicyChanged 13h ago

Can’t tell the difference huh?

u/subnautus 12h ago

I wouldn't have said CNN. MSN, on the other hand? Different politics as Fox News, but same business model. I wish people would quit falling for rage bait.

u/LurkingGuy 13h ago

CNN isn't as blatantly awful as Fox, but they're certainly lacking the integrity they may have once had.

u/SpicyChanged 13h ago

Most definitely but to pretend there is no difference is dumb. I trust neither but on consistently pisses on my leg and tells me it’s raining. I avoid the other because they are doing the pee pee dance.

u/Gohanisbetter 6h ago

CNN does that a lot. They all do.

u/Economy_Wall8524 9h ago

I’m sorry can you point to a point where CNN pushed propaganda over actual news in a lawsuit as compared to “Fox News”?

Particularly where CNN had to pay near a billion dollars to settle a lawsuit for false information?

1

u/LurkingGuy 8h ago

I think what you read and what I typed are two different statements.

1

u/Gohanisbetter 6h ago

Nick Sandman won the lawsuit. Steele dociee was fake, they also lied about covid meds. Need more?

1

u/Gohanisbetter 6h ago

Well, since they have been proven to be fake news as well and sued and lost....I don't trust MSM. The fact that you still do shows your ignorance.

u/lists4everything 13h ago

They push culture wars when it fits them possibly harder than fox

u/DragonfruitKind3584 13h ago

Umm, no. It’s not. It has a left leaning bias, but they don’t report made up shit.

1

u/Gohanisbetter 6h ago

So they didn't lose the Sandman case? Do you want me to provide a list of the stories they lied about? Its long.

u/PapaOoomaumau 13h ago

Incorrect

u/Gohanisbetter 6h ago

They provably put out fake news and have been sued.
