You'd think a lawsuit settlement of $780,000,000 would change their thinking. The list of lies is so long from FOX it is truly remarkable. Very sad to see people duped by them.

Lottoguy 04-30-2024 08:37 AM

Online? You mean by some person deep in their basebment with their YouTube Channel.

Lottoguy 04-30-2024 08:42 AM

I can remember when FOX ran a story about a certain Illinois Senator who was not paying taxes on her house. This went on for a week. This Senator didn't pay taxes because she was 100% disable from her war injuries in the Gulf War. In that state you pay no real estate taxes on your home if you qualify. Other states also have this written into their laws. Did FOX apologize? Nope!

No thanks. I’ll stick with mainstream (but not Fox which flat out lies) which has resources inside the events, inside the disasters, inside the courts first hand. They may give their opinions, but they are the ones that also giving out facts because you can watch the event live while it’s happening and see for yourself despite what their opinion may be.

Remember the 'scud stud' reporter during Iraq 1? That was good stuff

I'm all about alt-facts. That's why my news comes from whoever is standing behind me in line at Publix.

LeRoySmith 04-30-2024 08:53 AM

Wouldn't it be refreshing if the news was separate from opinion as it seemed years ago. In the 70's/80's it seemed like there was news and there was opinion, they were distinct and separate. Over time its morphed into what we have today where you can't tell fact from fiction which necessitates you not believe any of it. Much of the time you can't even trust the fact checkers, what have we done?

As far as some making fun of new yorker's admit it, they've earned a little fun pokin.

OAN just settled out of court for their lies. Undisclosed amount.

Was that the tv network that was fined for purposefully lying about the news to increase their ratings?

No, that was Fox that was fined heavily for not reporting truthfully on election results and those voting machines.

I do flip on MSNBC once in a while but they are a bit over the top in some of the opinions held by their journalists. But I prefer CNN and the regular CBS news stations but do check out NBC and ABC on occasion for the national news.

Entertainment posing as news is how I would describe FOX and some of the MSNBC "news" shows.

Totally unbiased, I'm sure :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Fox and MSNBC are not lying, what they are doing is delivering what their audience want to hear, even if it's not based on facts. I watch two news programs, ABC at 6:30pm simply because it flows into Jeopardy. The other is PBS which delivers both sides and does not rely on ratings or commercials. That freeing them to put forward news not propaganda.

Delivering for the ones that pay the bills too....the advertisers

Well, I must disagree.100%, this time. I'll only pick 3 things.

I say, lets speak about the last month only. It doesn't feel like "Entertainment News"when FOX vividly shows what is happening daily at our U.S. borders, on our U.S.College campuses, in the Square of our Ivy League Universities, or with our Beloved U.S. Marshalls and Police Departments..

No ENTERTAINMENT- AT ALL.

Sad, but true, but not Entertaining in any way, shape or form.
Newsmax is not entertaining either.

I have no horse in this one....but by way of clarity...FOX has a news division as well as an entertainment division. The latter is where/what you’d find entertaining. I’ve never viewed the news as entertaining....except for the weather girl(s)!

I think we are under some kind of cyber attack. This has been going on for weeks. If our livelihood wasn't reliant on the web, I probably wouldn't notice.

It’s solar activity, the activity on the sun is extremely dynamic right now. There are many articles on it. I’ll try and be as neutral as possible with this PBS citation LOL

if you watch this network in the morning, after looking at the people on it, and what they talk about, ask yourself, why am watching this dribble?

Let’s be honest all news reporters have their leanings in one direction or another, we all do even if we unaware of it.

But MSNBC and Fox have taken this to whole other level and as far as I’m concern, they should not be considered news networks. They either come to the defense or attack a position which they do or do not agree with to the point if you stand back you realize is nothing more than pandering to their viewers. Thier main concern are their ratings.

Let's face it, the only good networks, websites, newspapers, etc. are the ones that agree with your own opinions and prejudices.
Anything, or anyone, who thinks different, is a total idiot! :shrug:
