An example,
- “A Fox News chyron called Biden a “wannabe dictator ” who had “his political rival arrested.”
- The text accompanied footage of Trump speaking after he was arrested and arraigned on Tuesday.
- Trump pleading not guilty to 37 counts brought against him over handling of classified documents.”
Another great example,
YEAH!
When does the White House Correspondents Association take away their News Credentials?
2024 will be the Battle of Right Wing TV Networks:
“One America News anchor Christina Bobb assisted Rudy Giuliani on the Trump campaign’s outlandish plan to submit rival Republican elector slates to affirm then-President Donald Trump’s victory in five states President Joe Biden won, according to The Washington Post.“
“a daily tally of Facebook’s top 10 engaged posts is always massively dominated by Fox News hosts and other far-right commentators.”
“From 1980 to 2001, trust stayed at roughly 40 percent except for a brief dip, during Bill Clinton’s first term, that was quickly regained. Then, right after 2001, trust began to plummet permanently. By 2019 it was down to 20 percent.”
“What accounts for this? It’s here that our popular explanations run aground. It can’t be all about a rise in conspiracy theories, since they’ve been around for decades. It can’t be social media, since Facebook and Twitter have become popular in the political arena only over the past few years. It can’t be a decline in material comfort, since incomes and employment have steadily improved over the past couple of decades. It can’t really be social trends, since most of them have improved too. And most of the specific issues that might cause alarm—immigration, racism, and more—are unlikely candidates on their own. They may be highly polarizing, but in a concrete sense they haven’t gotten worse since 2000. In fact, they’ve mostly gotten better.
To find an answer, then, we need to look for things that (a) are politically salient and (b) have changed dramatically over the past two to three decades. The most obvious one is Fox News.”
“Finally, Fox News also has an effect on what the mainstream news media reports, helping to spread conservative arguments far and wide. Remember the IRS “targeting” scandal of 2013? It was a routine news story until Fox News made it a cause celebre. Then it started to dominate the airwaves. More recently, critical race theory was an academic obscurity until Fox suddenly decided to give it the treatment earlier this year. Now you can hardly click your mouse without coming across yet another article or op-ed about it.“
“As we all know, Donald Trump isn’t the cause of the Republican Party’s descent into madness. He’s merely the result of decades of evolution that started when Jerry Falwell founded the Moral Majority, Rush Limbaugh picked up a microphone, and Newt Gingrich reinvented modern conservatism. But these were just warm-up acts. It wasn’t until Fox News was up and running that we started to see permanent changes in the electorate.”
“Several factors converged over two decades to destroy many Americans’ belief in professional journalists reporting the facts: in 1987 the FCC revoked the Fairness Doctrine, sparking the birth of conservative talk radio; 1991 saw the birth of the World Wide Web, a bottomless source of unfiltered, free information ready to be passed on to others; in 1996, the nakedly partisan Fox News, and its rival, MSNBC, were launched; conspiracist Alex Jones radio show was syndicated nationally in 2001; 2004 witnessed the birth of Facebook and the explosion of an unregulated social media that would become the primary source of information for many. Almost simultaneously, thousands of newspapers began to close across the country.”
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
“OAN, which rose to prominence during Donald Trump’s presidency, has been criticized for spreading conspiracy theories about the pandemic and 2020 election.”
“Fox News news hosts knew that Trump’s lies were lies—and they amplified them anyhow.”
“Speaking of the lies surrounding Jan. 6, the big media news of the moment is the discovery, thanks to the House committee investigating the insurrection, that Fox News personalities Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Brian Kilmeade were urging then-President Donald Trump to do something to stop the rioters on that day. All three sent texts to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, imploring him to persuade Trump to make it all stop.
What makes it newsworthy is they, along with many of their Fox News colleagues, have struck quite a different tone on the air, often questioning who caused the riot, downplaying just how serious it was and blaming people other than Trump and/or Trump supporters.
Like most media reporters and critics, I wrote extensively about this in my Tuesday newsletter. It’s been all the buzz for the past 36 hours. And like many, I was initially somewhat stunned that Fox News personalities would show major concern off the air, but mislead viewers on the air.
But then came this naive realization: Should we really be surprised after all?”
Like Shepherd Smith, Chris Wallace has had enough,
“Fox News still does real reporting, and there are still responsible conservatives providing valuable opinion and analysis. But the voices of the responsible are being drowned out by the irresponsible.
A case in point: Patriot Purge, a three-part series hosted by Tucker Carlson.”
A website dedicated to combating propaganda from Foxnews, OANN, Newsmax, Breithbart and others,
Why FoxNews? WHY???
Great question:
I am glad I don’t do anything with AT&T!
Foxnews, OANN and NewsMax Takes advantage of this:
and this:
Other right-wing outlets as well
Sad!
Compare and Contrast

OANN is trying to outdo FoxNews! This is so sad and so wrong!
FoxNews is bad enough!

Tucker Carlson goes with “There goes the neighborhood!”
In the video inside this article fast forward to 1:00 and watch David Zurawick says about FoxNews:
Laura Ingraham is a bigot!
Someone on FoxNews knows the truth:
Neil Cavuto seems to be upset that Shep Smith left FoxNews
So Shepard Smith LEAVES Fox and John Solomon JOINS Fox
Who is John Solomon you ask?
A Sad State of Affairs at Fox and for our Nation!
A Great Example (I broke down a @seanhannity video)
I grew up on Walter Cronkite. When News was a Public Service. It isn’t News anymore, it is nEws – a profit center instead of a money sink so eyeballs, ears and key clicks have to be capture. Sadly, everyone has retreated to their preferred silo of nEws.
FoxNews has two (2!) legitimate Newscasters.
10/11/2019 – Correction – FOXnews is down to one (1!) legitimate newscaster.
Thank You @ShepNewsTeam ! The FOXnews network just went from 2 NEWS people to 1, Chris Wallace @FoxNewsSunday Shep was always a lighthouse of truth in a fog of @foxandfriends @seanhannity @LouDobbs @TuckerCarlson @JesseBWatters @GregGutfeldShow @JudgeJeanine @IngrahamAngle
And at least one legal analyst that speaks the truth:
Sadly NOT Fair OR Balanced after those three men.
FoxNews flames the hatred of Islamophobia:
FoxNews flames the hatred of Bigotry:
