Fox News thread of fine journalism

[Tman]

Yes, thank you for finding that. I’m going to retweet and publicize this to people I know who have cable fees.

[RichVR]

All of that being true. And I don’t doubt it. Why isn’t Fox considered an enemy of the state?

[gruntled]

Because Fox News is the state.

At least she let him finish. That was a solid full minute of reality reaching Fox viewers.

Only if you don’t read the replies.

And please, don’t read the replies.

Undoubtedly. But the Fox web site is basically inconsequential. The masses are watching the box.

I doubt they even read the scrolling news at the bottom - which, at the start of the clip, is reporting on a CDC statement that rural people with preexisting conditions are more likely to die from the complications than are urban people with similar health issues.

That pause of hers there at the end. . .she was either speechless or she was listening to her producer telling her to thank him and get him off the air. I’d guess the latter.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the Fox News empire under the Ailes dynasty, it’s that you don’t become a Fox News anchor without letting men finish.

You made me wish for a Newsnight type show but set in a Fox type network for the first time ever.

LOL You naughty boy!

That really was well done, @rowe33.

Figured this should go here since he is one of their mouthpieces

[RichVR]

I remember Dr. Drew from when he had a radio show with Adam Carolla. It was a sex call in thing. It was pretty funny. So he went the way of Oz and Phil?

Edit: I watched the video. Yeah, he went full nutcase.

Right! I listened to it as a security guard. Them and The Greaseman. I was easily amused at the time.

I still am. But I was too. If you know what I mean.

A little-known Washington nonprofit has filed a lawsuit against Fox News in King County Superior Court, claiming the news station, its parent companies and owners violated the state’s Consumer Protection Act and acted in bad faith by disseminating false information about the novel coronavirus through its television news broadcasts and minimized the danger posed by the virus as COVID-19 began to explode into a pandemic.

I wish these plaintiffs, and the inevitable ones to come, well, but it’s going to take a real smoking gun to cause any trouble for FOX News. I think there needs to be a documented trail of people acknowledging that they are deceiving viewers for the sake of money or saving Trump’s Presidency.
