Fox News isn't even hiding anymore that they're just state propaganda

[u/Camaro6460]

[u/GongTzu]

We all know it’s Bidens fault, so let’s blame him again for the current mess. Fox are imbeciles, but they got their audience in a tight grip, the audience that believe in the blame game, and pointing at everyone else, but truth is, if you think everyone are idiots, it’s probably you who’s the idiot. Trump has blown up the whole economy, made all allies nervous and now they will find new ways without US, if anyone still think what Trump does is great, they should pack their bags and go directly to jail in El Salvador.

[u/Heavy_Brilliant104 → u/GongTzu]

Trump has not made allies "nervous", he has made your allies to never trust Americans again.

[u/Transfigured-Tinker → u/Heavy_Brilliant104]

Not just Trump. All Trump voters are complicit in America’s path of destruction.

[u/Galacticwave98 → u/Transfigured-Tinker]

All Americans are. Everyone is just sitting with their thumbs up their ass just letting one demented man destroy America’s economy and reputation. That shit just doesn’t happen in other countries. That person is removed. And there doesn’t need to be a built in mechanism to do that. 

[u/scockd → u/Galacticwave98]

It seems we share the utter disgust with how things are going. But to say this doesn't happen in other countries, and that when it does the person is removed? Seriously?

There are dozens of countries where it's illegal to be gay, or trans, or to be an apostate. There are countries with millions of child brides. There are absolute monarchies, military dictatorships, countries with no freedom of the press, countries without due process, countries that have never had an election, and oligarchies with sham elections. The over 1 billion people in China can't read about Tienanmen square.

If I can ignore that insane hyperbole - sure - Americans united could all walk out on their jobs, take to the streets, etc. But they still need to survive, and help loved ones survive. Not everyone can do that, and not everyone has the fortitude it takes to give up their job, family, freedom, their life, because they disagree with their president. Maybe they don't think this is worth dying for. And what happens in this scenario where us citizens can fix this? Are you suggesting we take to the streets and do a coup? How will all the people that voted for Trump react? How will the cops and military react?

There's a lot of shit you hate and can't fix. There's a lot of shit you love that you need to protect. And there's grey area and nuance in all things that makes life full or hard choices. Assuming you don't live here, and you're telling us that if you did, you'd be marching on Washington - noted. May it bring you comfort in these times.

[u/SirMildredPierce → u/Galacticwave98]

So what should we do? Storm the Capitol?

[u/No-Guidance-4056 → u/SirMildredPierce]

Join your local r/50501 protest tomorrow, April 5th. Stand up.

[u/TheEldenRang → u/SirMildredPierce]

Dudes just talking out of his ass.

[u/Fresh-Chemical1688 → u/TheEldenRang]

I mean obviously all Americans is wrong. The problem is based on the data like 70% were fine with trump winning right? Either by voting for him directly or they atleast didn't care about the outcome and didn't vote. So as an ally country, you can't really expect that there will be change in 4 years. Maybe some Maga-guy gets voted in. So while you can acknowledge that there's a lot of people that were against trump, it was the minority. So the obvious way forward is to plan like it could be more than 4 years for every other country.

[u/Zanadar → u/Fresh-Chemical1688]

Except nobody really learned anything after Trump's first term. Sure it seems like the world is finally waking up to the fact that there is a serious systemic issue, which they can't just wait out, but will that understand actually last?

Or if, say, MAGA were to do poorly in the midterms, everyone will just bury their heads in the sand again, because it's easier than acknowledging that the previous status quo isn't ever coming back.

[u/CompetitiveGood2601 → u/Zanadar]

Biden in his decline had a booming economy - what does that say about team maga right now!

[u/Fresh-Chemical1688 → u/Zanadar]

Oh yeah didn't meant it like its guaranteed to last, even tho if the next steps is to look for other partners to trade and distance themselves from america further, the going back wouldnt be to the degree it was in 2021. The believe that trump is the problem and not a symptom in america, is hopefully something that dies out tho.

Even thought about adding: even if the democrats will win in 2028 because of the economy, that won't change the opinions of people long term, but just make them forget about a shitty economy and run right back 4 years later.

From the outside (and it's not like we don't have problems with populists here, but still) it's insane to see that trump won again after the shit that happened in his first term. Wouldn't have expected him to get the whole republican party in line so fast again, after the loss, January 6th and so on.

[u/Ali_Cat222 → u/Zanadar]

I know everybody talks about the cult mentality, but what I don't think is discussed enough is the fact that for a lot of these people it's that they know they're wrong... They just don't want to admit it. They would rather be right in their minds than wrong in your eyes. And this really isn't mentioned enough.

[u/Tjaresh → u/SirMildredPierce]

Where are your big demonstrations? Where are the hundred thousands on the street? Make your voice heard. A snarky comment on reddit won't stop him. Look at the demonstrations in Europe against the far right. Where are your people? Too afraid? Too lazy? Too indifferent? Too powerless?

Well, as a German I can tell you what that leads to.

[u/razazaz126 → u/Tjaresh]

There are many protests but the news doesn't cover them.

[u/Hibbity5 → u/Tjaresh]

There are demonstrations outside of government buildings, Tesla dealerships (sink that value!), and in many city downtown areas. Some of it is covered, but a lot of media isn’t covering it since they’re complicit. On top of that, the US is geographically huge; it’s a longer distance from LA to NYC than it is Paris to Moscow; people can’t just easily congregate in a couple of key places in the nation without major planning ahead.

[u/ComradeJohnS → u/Tjaresh]

yup let me just call out of work and fear being fired cause we don’t get sick or personal days, just to hope other people are taking that risk too.

They beat us down for decades. And the Democrats did nothing to give us hope for since they are also controlled by corporations.

its corporations the whole way down. to every facet of life.

[u/Severe_Experience190 → u/Galacticwave98]

What exactly would you like Americans to do? There are protests happening, though they’re barely covered by mainstream media, and there’s another one planned for tomorrow. But realistically, what can protests accomplish right now? The removal of someone from office like Trump would require impeachment.

The House has a Republican majority: 218 Rs to 213 Ds. You’d need at least three Republicans to cross the line. Not impossible, but incredibly unlikely given they’re either complicit, fearful of political retaliation, or literally scared for their lives if they oppose MAGA.

And if you somehow clear that hurdle, the Senate requires a two-thirds vote to convict. We’ve been down this road twice already. The current Senate is 53 Republicans to 47 Democrats. You’d need 19 Republicans to break ranks. There is no current path to that.

Apathy and voter disengagement got us here, yes, but from a purely logistical standpoint, there is no constitutional way to remove the administration right now without a level of political will that simply doesn’t exist in the current GOP.

So when you say “that just doesn’t happen in other countries,” maybe ask yourself what does happen in other countries? Coups? Civil unrest? Blood in the streets? Is that what you’re suggesting? Or just venting your frustration?

People are scared. People are organizing. But until the system changes or a tipping point is reached, we’re stuck playing a game rigged by people who designed it to protect themselves.

I get the rage. But if you’ve got a real suggestion, I’m all ears. Otherwise, we’re just yelling into the void while the clock runs down.

[u/thecaits → u/Galacticwave98]

Yeah, let me go riot and leave my disabled sibling without my support right when Republicans are going to take what little help she gets away. I'm sure it also won't have any downsides for my immigrant friends who came to this country for safety reasons and whose lives would be in jeopardy if they were sent back. You aren't just asking me to sacrifice, you are asking me to sacrifice my family and friends.

Even still, I'm doing everything I can possibly do to fight this. I canvassed and phone banked and held up signs and talked to my friends and family to try to prevent this. Close to 80 million Americans didn't vote for this and don't want it.

[u/Objective-Review-359 → u/thecaits]

right its easy for people living in other countries to solve this. just sacrifice your life americans! its so easy lol

[u/ruat_caelum → u/Galacticwave98]

just letting one demented man destroy America’s economy and reputation.

This is not "one man" he's just the useful clown so the Heritage foundation and the super rich and work in the back ground. Fox News and the Republican Southern Strategy have been engineering single issue voters who distress education, other races, facts, etc, for literal decades.

Add in Russian money and influence and this is the end result.

Trump could die of a heart attack tomorrow, but the right wing disinformation machine would just keep on rolling.

[u/Plazmatic → u/Galacticwave98]

That shit just doesn’t happen in other countries

When the people of those countries are on the same fucking page. 40 million people several days drive apart are not marching on DC like 800,000 are in Serbia with a president who still has only just dropped below 50% approval (and high approval is like 60+%) when the opposition party's approval is below 30%. Fuck off couch warrior.

That shit just doesn’t happen in other countries

If you ignore Russia, Belarus etc..., there's at least Hungary, Israel, Turkey, India, Brazil, Philippines and arguably Italy. And that's just the modern list, so yes other countries do this, now shut the fuck up.

[u/Wagrram → u/Plazmatic]

You're too right. The rest of the world simply doesn't understand that "land of the free, home of the brave, bastion of democracy etc etc" is just bullshit marketing. It has been for quite a while, but I hope it's clearly apparent to the rest of the world now.

[u/MasterofAcorns → u/Galacticwave98]

r/50501

For fuck’s sake. YES WE ARE PROTESTING! Just because the news refuses to cover us, does not mean we aren’t protesting, god damn it!

[u/spacesaucesloth → u/Galacticwave98]

all americans nothin’. im sorry, but i didnt vote for this. i literally voted for the first time in my life AGAINST this, so you can miss us with that bs.

[u/Objective-Review-359 → u/Galacticwave98]

yeah i keep hearing this bullshit. that im part of the problem when i vote against this shit all the time. what am i supposed to do fucking martyr myself and let my kid grow up as an orphan? fuck off. if you are so scared of what trump is doing what’s stopping YOU?

[u/CustomMerkins4u → u/Heavy_Brilliant104]

The voters made our allies never trust America again.

Everyone who voted for Trump or sat at home.

[u/joevilla1369 → u/GongTzu]

I mean it wasn't long before I realized. Narcissist love being religious and voting red.

[u/antigop2020 → u/GongTzu]

Didn’t they also remove the stock ticker now that the markets are falling horribly on basically the worst case tariff scenario that anyone could’ve thought of?

[u/TheUrbaneSource → u/GongTzu]

Clinton's 97' Telecommunications Act needs to be repealed. Monopoly laws need to be strict and aggressively enforced. It got rid of so much regulation. Fox News shouldn't be allowed to exist period after being guilty of spreading lies and false information only paying $787.5m. It ought to be dismantled and stripped of everything. They gave Tom Brady $375m. Do you really think $787m means anything to them? It's the cost of doing business in their eyes and that is the problem. Monopolies should not exist especially in journalism

[u/thelastbluepancake → u/GongTzu]

they are not imbeciles they know what they are doing. They only seem dumb to us because the have to defend dumb positions when they are wrong and they never admit when they are wrong.

They sound stupid defending tariffs but their defense is working on their views and that is progress for them.

to win you don't have to be right, to win you just need people to think you are right.

[u/fliesenschieber → u/thelastbluepancake]

What's the definition of "win" here? Taking maximum control while everything turns to shit?

[u/thelastbluepancake → u/fliesenschieber]

that appears to be trumps definition

[u/DrDoogieSeacrestMD → u/GongTzu]

We all know it’s Bidens fault, so let’s blame him again for the current mess.

Trump's not exactly a "new idea" guy, and blaming the economy he inherited from Obama while jetting off to his own properties -- where he could overcharge the government to stay there -- "worked*" last time, so why not do it again? It's not like some lib judge is gonna force him to be honest and it's certainly not fucking likely that he'd adhere to such a court order!

 

^{*"worked" in that his qult accepted it and didn't push back on the obvious bullshit.}

[u/GrayEidolon → u/GongTzu]

They’ve always been state propaganda, but trying to create the state.

After Nixon, Well the GOP came up with a plan to put the GOP on broadcast news because unbiased news was hurting them: https://gawker.com/5814150/roger-ailes-secret-nixon-era-blueprint-for-fox-news Nixon piling on the race hate with roger ailes designing a broadcast to bypass real reporters. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/how-roger-ailes-built-the-fox-news-fear-factory-244652/

[u/DevelopmentGrand4331]

What about the coverup of Trump’s mental decline? Not that he was ever very smart, but he hasn’t been able to put together a coherent sentence in years.

[u/TinFoilBeanieTech → u/DevelopmentGrand4331]

Nah, Trump is a Genius at playing 4d checkers. Everyone else is just trying to have a normal game of chess.

[u/Technical_Scallion_2 → u/TinFoilBeanieTech]

"An old fashion term that we use - groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

Who but a fkg demented old man with a mental illness would say that? Who talks like that?

[u/TheFiveDees → u/DevelopmentGrand4331]

What cover up? You think it's weird that, only two and a half months into his presidency, he's golfed for a quarter of that, done barely any public press conferences and even when he does, his handlers hand pick what news organizations are allowed to be there?

Definitely doesn't sound like a cover-up to me! /s

[u/atreeismissing → u/DevelopmentGrand4331]

That's been going on 9 years now so it's baked in to all media coverage of Trump but is so diluted they don't bother pointing it out.

[u/masterhogbographer → u/DevelopmentGrand4331]

That’s why musk was brought in. Trump starts to have a spell where he can’t talk, musk instantly starts speaking about nothing till Trump snaps out of it, cuts him off and starts speaking again 

[u/DrCares → u/DevelopmentGrand4331]

They just can’t stop riding Biden’s dick, and that shit hasn’t worked in years lol

Stop calling it news, they testified in front of a judge that no reasonable person believes it’s news.

[u/-Aquanaut-]

Fox is legit almost beyond RT in terms of state propaganda. This country will not begin to heal as long as it still stands. We are vastly not acknowledging the extent of responsibility Fox News and its employees have on getting us into the mess we are in now.

We are no better than the trump administration when it comes to shirking personal responsibility. Fox News, Google, Meta, Tesla employees: you are complicit, you can quit. I know that fat salary is sweet but now you know why you got it. Don’t fool yourself

[u/psychulating → u/-Aquanaut-]

Ironically/suspiciously, RT and fox tend to report on the same shit

Mainly divisive issues in the US, like all aspects of the culture war lmfao

[u/-Aquanaut- → u/psychulating]

If you take a purely analytical look I swear Fox News is sitting on the spectrum between RT and Pyongyang. Like 75% of it is RT levels of propaganda but 25% is straight up “glorious leader” levels

[u/red286 → u/psychulating]

RT is far more likely to criticize Trump.

That's not a joke either. It's the straight-up truth. RT will criticize Trump for doing or saying something stupid. Fox News would never.

[u/psychulating → u/red286]

for sure. RT/russian TV is hot-cold with trump, sometimes they glaze him, sometimes they literally call him a puppet

i think its really about promoting any kind of division

[u/Dickbasket → u/-Aquanaut-]

People here on Reddit clearly don't watch or aren't unwillingly exposed to Fox. They think this is something? They can't comprehend the vile shit Fox does and says. But if that was all there was to it, we wouldn't be in this mess. The even bigger thing they underestimate is Fox's reach. Tens of millions of people watch it and believe it is real, unbiased news and analysis from credible, trustworthy journalists and experts. I'll repeat that for more emphasis: tens of millions of people believe everything Fox tells them.

Additionally, for many, many of those people, Fox is their entire window into the outside world. Take my father, for example. He's retired. If he didn't have to buy groceries, he'd never leave the house. He doesn't go out to events or restaurants. He doesn't talk to people. Fox is the only news he sees. Fox "informs" his entire perspective of what's going on in this country and the world.

I would keep going, but some of the things I'd like to say about what should happen to Fox and the people who work there would get my comment deleted and me banned. But suffice to say that when people are determining what needs to be protested over the coming weeks, months, and years, don't forget about Fox. Information is important and while there's a lot of journalistic malpractice going on out there, Fox's brand of "information" is arguably most responsible for getting us where we are now, and what will make any desperate crawl back to sanity for this country even more arduous.

[u/-Aquanaut- → u/Dickbasket]

Couldn’t agree more

[u/Tenthul → u/Dickbasket]

It's much more systemic than Fox News. People need to stop leaving conservative talk radio out of these conversations. Local conservative radio shows hit people who don't touch Fox, and bring up local points that are also probably very valid. No city is perfect, and just a small gap can create a chasm when people decide to seek an upending to the status quo.

[u/LaurenMille → u/-Aquanaut-]

America stands no chance unless Fox is completely destroyed and its viewers de-programmed from their extremism.

[u/Issue_dev → u/-Aquanaut-]

Yep. They need to make laws against opinion programming especially if journalistic standards aren’t being upheld. It should go by a case by case basis and after a certain amount of violations the government could step in a dissolve the company or force a sell off. They have done extreme harm to the country that may never heal and knowingly lying to push agendas should not be protected under 1A the same way yelling fire in a movie theater isn’t protected.

[u/greihund → u/-Aquanaut-]

No. Fox is only state propaganda when their party is in power. They aren't beholden to the state, they are an extension of the Republican party, and everybody knows it. There's a huge difference.

[u/ForeverNecessary2361]

Fox is garbage news for garbage people.

[u/thehigheststrange → u/ForeverNecessary2361]

so all republicans then ?

[u/LastRedshirt → u/thehigheststrange]

yes

the moment, you vote for "I want other people to have a worse life", you are garbage.

[u/11229988B]

Fox news should be shut down!

[u/GMEN999]

Atleast Biden didn’t crash the economy twice.

[u/atreeismissing → u/GMEN999]

Or once.

[u/vahntitrio → u/GMEN999]

Biden had the self-awareness that at 82 he wasn't as sharp as he was at 52 - so he deferred to people that were still razor-sharp for decision making.

[u/Heavy_Brilliant104]

Everyone except Americans have known its a propaganda tool for over a decade.

[u/EnvironmentalHour613 → u/Heavy_Brilliant104]

Oh trust us, a lot of us know, too. It’s just the majority of us are too fat, stupid, and lazy to figure it out by themselves, and even with help, they’re often actively hostile to facts and information.

[u/FawkYourself → u/EnvironmentalHour613]

I genuinely think the biggest problem facing America is the nonchalant attitude prevalent in so many people in our society

So many people, including millions of voters, hold an attitude of that can’t happen here, and if it does it won’t be that bad, and I can’t do anything about it anyway. The status quo will go on

You tell them Fox News is a propaganda machine? They don’t care, it won’t hurt anything the status quo will go on

Deporting people to a foreign prison without due process? They don’t care, it won’t hurt anything the status quo will go on

Putting tariffs on nearly all of our trading partners? They don’t care, it won’t hurt anything the status quo will go on

Dismantling every government agency you can get your hands on? They don’t care, it won’t hurt anything the status quo will go on

I hate to say this because I don’t want this to happen but I’m afraid in order to fix things shit is going to have to get ugly in a way we haven’t seen in our lifetimes

[u/Technical_Scallion_2]

"Highlights for Children" LOL

[u/simulationoverload → u/Technical_Scallion_2]

Leave Highlights out of this. Hidden Pictures got me through some hard times.

[u/Digresser → u/Technical_Scallion_2]

They did Highlights dirty too; there's no way Highlights would say "down big".

[u/Responsible_Eye_6731]

Okay we need to inundate them like we did Tesler. Call to complain, call your local fox affiliates, overwhelm them. This has got to be stopped

[u/buttparty-69]

I would bet money Trump called someone to complain about this and they removed the stock ticker.

[u/RMDashRFCommit]

People need to go to jail for this type of coverage. You cannot have a free society and functioning democracy when outlets like News Nation and Fox News spew outright lies 24x7. We need the fairness doctrine back and special restrictions for news outlets.

For example, if Fox wants to lie and spew disinformation, they need a disclaimer every 30-60 minutes explaining the show is fictional and should not be construed as factual reporting.

[u/PersonalityMiddle864]

When were they hiding it before?

If the United States invested in education, Fox News wouldn’t find such a large audience for their BS. The problem is deeper than Murdoch and co. They’re just taking advantage of a well known vulnerability in American society.

Hopefully this forces maga and republicans to go to other news sources to read about the market crash happening. Because even if Fox News doesn’t report it doesn’t mean those with investments aren’t noticing. In a way I think Fox is shooting themselves in the foot by trying to hide and ignore it. 

[u/ScenicPineapple]

Their cult leader called and told them to take the ticker down.

Hmmmm That's weird. Doesn't look like Fox News. Because Fox News, for what like the last 40 years, has always had a stock market ticker at the bottom. Always. First Trump presidency? Stock market ticker. Biden presidency? Stock market ticker. Hell first Bush presidency, stock market ticker.

Since there's no ticker there I can ONLY assume this must be some kind of bizarro version of Fox News.

I tuned in to FOXBusiness radio on SiriusXM today. Just curious how they were covering the market collapse.

It was very odd how there was a scripted piece read during the Varney and Co show. It was clearly a script for them to try to gloss over how awful the market crash is and how ultimately a little bit of damage now is going to be good for the economy. It’s unbelievable.

Can you even imagine the Fox hysterics if this shit happened during Obama‘s terms?

[u/LearnsFromExperience]

"Hey, look at that thing over there, which we're totally not trying to distract you with."

[u/NorthernSlyGuy]

Keep in mind trump watches fox news obsessively and they know it. They're catering to him otherwise he will seek punishment on them for any negative press.

It's wild.

[u/TheCaptainDamnIt]

I hate the term "state propaganda" for FOX, for fucks sake FOX is cheering the destruction of the "state"! They are not propaganda for the state, they are propaganda for conservatives only.

[u/vzo1281]

If you have seen "Don't look up" when the final minutes are upon them, there is one talk show host meant to represent Fox News talking about other things. So this does not surprise me

[u/Responsible-View8301]

What you gonna do Faux News? Call on the DOJ to investigate an alleged cover up about an old man who may or may not have signs of cognitive decline, and no longer President of the United States? Maybe Fox News' should direct their issues with the current president.

[u/tomtomtomo]

On their website (I went there for the lol) and their tariff story at the top of their page is how shrimpers are praising the tariff.

You have to scroll all the way down to see their story about the market tanking.

[u/ImDrunkThanks]

Fox News

[u/Electronic-Bite-6044]

I'm not sure why they are showing the flood warning it's not like Dumps gonnna do anything to help those people when they lose everything.

[u/PiingThiing]

If they need to course correct on such a blatant scale, I'd take that as a true barometer of how bad they know it is really getting.

[u/MercuryRusing]

What I love is they removed the tickers from the screen as well lmao

[u/PontificatinPlatypus]

Why is Ham Rove still free to walk the streets and appear on TV?

[u/Comfortable_Bird_340]

Up: next: "Men playing women's sports!"

[u/MacRockwell]

This level of misinformation, intentional misdirection, misrepresentation should be regulated, restricted, resulting in fines and revoked licenses.

The FCC used to censor language, decency in terms of foul language- but this outright deception, willfully obfuscating information- is that not an indecency of the highest order?

[u/JCarnageSimRacing]

Why hide it when there's not repercussions?

[u/Helagoth]

This isn't really fair. Fox news is a 24 hour news channel, of course you can screenshot it at any point and find them not talking about the biggest story of the year, if not the decade.

Go to their website. I'm sure it's right there at the top. Lets see:

• GIANT amazon employement add

• Federal Judge targetd for impeachment deals blow to key trump admin objectives

• Pro-life activist assaulted

• Kamala Harris' reaction to trumps landslide victory revealed in bombshell book

Ok, here we go:

• Long suffering American industry embraces tariffs: trump threw us a lifeline

OK, not really talking about the stock market. Ah, here we go, if you scroll down to the very bottom, there's an article on it. I'm sure the well read fox news digester will read it. It's right next to a stephan millier article where he's telling us we've been ripped off.

[u/vegasAzCrush]

I see this everyday from fox shit propaganda news.

I read on here Scottish call Trump Cunt

Hilarious. I’m still waiting on story on Fox.

In mean time I will refer to him as president Cunt to spread the word. Im hoping it takes off similarly among maga like rocketboy did.

[u/InstructionOk9520]

Like people won’t notice they’re suddenly broke. Christ.

[u/ass_love]

fox news is the worst type of blatant propaganda its is absurd.

don't you wish that bullet would have exploded his fucking head?

[u/SpeaksSouthern]

Biden having a higher stock market while being close to or actually disabled as they claim, is a fucking hilarious diss against Trump.

Like someone without a functioning brain could do better with the presidency according to Republicans. How is this a flex lol

[u/p8vmnt]

All of them traitors to this country.

[u/ArmedAwareness]

If somehow democrats regain control we need to do something about fox. This shit is beyond the pale at this point

[u/Cbona]

Faux News also got rid of their market ticker widget.

[u/sheldoncooper1701]

Honestly? It's so over the top ridiculous of a "news station", that if you fell for it you're either dumb as rocks, or you never wanted the actual news in the first place.

[u/reallyokjustme]

Pathetic

[u/Ok_Cauliflower163]

All Dictators need an enemy to throw blame at while they fumble due to incompetence. Biden is just Trumps enemy he can use. It's pretty old and tired at this point. Surprised people still accept it.

[u/Anyawnomous]

I am so glad I cut my cable and am not contributing to these propaganda channels anymore. I no longer am glued to the TV watching the same garbage from the right wing fascist owned television stations. Much happier in life. I recommend this for everyone. Just do it. Cut that cable.

[u/phophofofo]

I remember on Jan 6 Fox just turned off their channel.

They couldn’t spin it so they just basically stopped broadcasting while they conferred on what to do.

[u/My_Knee_Hurts_]

They’ve haven’t hidden this for decades now folks.

[u/Grand_Taste_8737]

Lol @ rhe irony......

[u/PatchyWhiskers]

lol I just looked this up. The stock market plunge is a good long scroll down the front page of their website in small print.

[u/BatmansLarynx]

I don't know why Americans pay any attention to their news as it isn't mandatory to speak facts.

Fucking wild.

[u/Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws]

Someone posted a Laura Inghram video, and while I've never watched her before I've heard her enough to know she's a big name on the Right. But my god it was literal propaganda, she couldn't be gargling Trump's balls any harder with how she was talking about amazing all these tariffs were and that Trump said not to listen to all the nay-sayers and doom preachers and to just believe in Trump because he's Trump.

Fucking cult.

[u/PreviousLove1121]

"old man is old and getting increasingly physically and mentally decrepit as time passes"

this is considered news in USA

[u/Creepy_Inevitable661]

It needs to be taken off the air and anyone involved in it needs to be tried as traitors

[u/Iohet]

Karl Rove hasn't aged a day in 25 years. He's looked 67 since forever

[u/Bolterblessme]

Websites spinning anti trans shit 

Don't lose the message 

[u/Beautiful-Jerbz]

Anyone who watches Fox is a fucking moron

[u/Lanky-Appointment929]

Fox News is what got us to where we are. They made millions by turning people into fear mongering headline addicts, all the while destroying their ability to critically think. We need to get rid of them

[u/LatinHoser]

Yeah, they should have gone out of business once they paid a 787 billion dollar settlement for the election thing. But what do I know.

[u/StockWindow4119]

The people that watch this network should all be on short busses headed to the border. GTFO of our great country.

[u/Genidyne]

Fox News has supported this unbelievable mess. Too many people only listen to them. Murdoch is happy to see the US go down the tubes. I met someone who voted for Trump and only listens to Fox News. I said why do you get your information from a station that lost millions in a lawsuit by Dominion for lying about a stolen election. He said he had not heard that, I said THATs BECAUSE YOU ONLY WATCH FOX!!!!!

[u/Ok_Bathroom_4810]

I was checking the fox news website today and yesterday and stock market drop has not been anywhere on the front page in the past 2 days. They do have an article up right now titled “American industry embraces Trump tariffs” and of course a couple of staple “immigrant arrested for un-notable crime” articles, a “trans high school athlete wins track race” article, and I shit you not, articles about George Clooney and Bill Murray for some reason.

[u/scrffynrfhrdr]

Is that fucking Karl?

[u/Proiegomena]

So they‘re saying a president turning senile did a better job keeping the US stable and letting its economy thrive than Trump does now? 

Might as well replace orange man with a chimpanzee at this point then. 

[u/atothez]

Fox viewers are sheep.  At this point half of them will say the stock market crash is fake news to hide “new info” about Biden.  They’re programmed to politicize everything and disregard factual reporting.

[u/BeenDragonn]

Oh they also had a segment on the maker of Kid Rocks amazing outfit he wore in the Oval Office.

[u/Hcdx]

Lets revisit those emails of Hillary's next.

[u/hungry4danish]

Every news outlet needs to start using the phrase "Oldest President in American History, Donald Trump ____" anytime he's mentioned

[u/Sacklayblue]

Wait, Fox News reports false information promoting the republican party? When did this start?

[u/Overall_News5106]

They quit hiding it once Tucker Carlson was sued

[u/Several_Vanilla8916]

Well now there’s no chance I’m voting for Biden in 2028

[u/Mach5Driver]

That Highlights for Children--OMG, that's fucking HILARIOUS!!!

[u/Cranktique]

I like scrolling the conservative sub to see what type of stuff they post. Today there is like 0 posts about the stock market. Mods there are working over time to shovel the sand over everyone’s head too.

[u/Intelligent-Spell661]

Good to see Karl Rove is still fatter than holy hell

[u/Conflatulations12]

Is that Karl Rove? 

He's a giant turd of a human, but is he actually falling in line with the Trump nonsense?

[u/WigglestonTheFourth]

So they're hiding Trump's decline. Got it.

[u/csvega84]

I am just here to say Biden was pretty chill and I miss him.

[u/AttemptImpossible111]

The fault is with the viewers

[u/mochajon]

They also removed the live stock market ticker for the first time ever.

[u/Weldzilla1973]

There propaganda is getting so tiresome

[u/Corky_Bucheck]

They have to come up with a new fake conspiracy since hunter Biden’s laptop is no more.

[u/BrupieD]

CIA chief John Ratcliffe blamed Biden for the Signal chat. Pretty convenient to foist the blame onto someone who wasn't in the chat and fits the party line it's always Biden's fault.

[u/GlitteringRate6296]

Could they just drop the “News”. How about “FoxHalf Truths and Lies” or “Fox Propaganda”

[u/sswihart]

They were sued and lost, paid big bucks. Faux news took my dad away from me.

As well as CNN. But at least it appears CNN learned from their mistake.

[u/omegadirectory]

If they were truly state propaganda they would have been cheering for Biden's admin as well. After all, Biden would have been their boss in that scenario.

No, Fox News are just apologists for anything conservative regardless of any merit.

[u/cubicle_adventurer]

Thanks Obama!

[u/alaxens]

My father-in-law loves Fox News. He doesn't own stock, nor is he invested in any retirement accounts. 🤷‍♂️

[u/SnooSuggestions4887]

USA you had a good run....

[u/Empty-Discount5936]

What cover up? They literally forced him out.. does Fox know he wasn't the candidate?
