Fox News thread of fine journalism

What kind of amateurs do they have in the graphics department now!

They couldn’t find an armed black guy to use?

Fake News. Fox should have its license pulled. This should be a top story on every competing news channel.

MikeOberly · 2020-06-13T18:35:14.390Z

Sure. Fake. News.

New: Fox News has appended an editor's note to the stories associated with the digitally altered and misleading photos it published of the Seattle "autonomous zone" that made it appear violent & dangerous. The network says it "regrets these errors." cnn.com/2020/06/13/med…

Fox Runs Monty Python Parody Post From Reddit as Example of 'Infighting' at...

Fox hilariously mistook a parody post from Reddit as real and aired it on the network. But it was actually from a Monty Python film.

To be fair, they would be better with more Monty Python…

I didn’t want to go there, but since you brought it up, I say this absolutely seriously, that book had a huge effect on my worldview back in my youth in the '90s in Seattle. I still reread some of the sections now and again. I really can’t believe I’m seeing it happen in action right now. The text is all available online, for free here:

The Anarchist Library

T.A.Z.: The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism

Hakim Bey T.A.Z.: The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism 1985

I started to quote my favorite passages, but it was just pretty much the whole thing, so I stopped.

You’re waaaaaay overthinking it, David Corn. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

I almost feel sorry for Fox News. Now does it have to try to destroy @AmbJohnBolton to protect Trump? Bolton was on the Fox payroll 2007-18. His 2018 financial disclosure form said his Fox salary was $569,423. Did Murdoch pay half a mil/a year to a liar? altgov2.org/wp-content/upl… https://t.co/1pHKkZNXAl

Why not? How much does he pay Hannity, Carlson, and Herr Ingraham? Bolton was a bargain.

Scuzz · 2020-06-17T22:52:27.168Z

Murdoch wants them to lie his way, not their way.

Fox News Argues Viewers Don't Assume Tucker Carlson Reports Facts

"What we're talking about here, it’s not the front page of The New York Times. It’s 'Tucker Carlson Tonight,' which is a commentary show,” a lawyer for Fox News argued while defending a lawsuit from Karen McDougal.

The big takeaway when you tune into Fox News: They don't have much to work with.

I don’t think most people period believe Tucker Carlson reports the facts.

I don’t think most people period believe Tucker Carlson reports the facts.

I think the people who watch the show religiously have a high percentage who do. Propaganda has been effective for decades.

And I’ll lay dollars to donuts that the certainly don’t expect doctored images (such as the CHAZ armed guard) to be a part of the propaganda…

sillhouette · 2020-06-18T17:56:35.923Z

I hear Tucker’s show is looking for new advertisers. Why doesn’t some constructive sort compile these unambiguous Truthyness quotes into a Lincoln-project-style ad against him to run during his own show?

And unless Fox actually admits it on the air Carlson’s viewers will just assume the doctored images are just fake news.

Alternatively, if he loses this lawsuit. I’m surprised that the CHAZ folks haven’t been enlisted in a class-action defamation and/or libel suit against Fox News, because Fox also published the doctored images on their website.
