chat is it good when Fox doesn’t have a stock ticker anymore

Reposted from Nuke

This is probably the best microcosm of the divide.

Right? I never thought I’d live to see when left-leaning media outlets were more concerned about the stock market than the traditional right-leaning folks. I mean, Fox News could burn out an early 00s plasma with that infographic.

News organizations ought to have a duty to inform people, with penalties for failure. Fox removing the stock ticker to cover for Trump should be a criminal act.

theoddprop.bsky.social•82 days ago

I believe Fox has legally argued they are entertainment and therefore not held to the same standard. The dominion lawsuit I think.

Can't wait til Fox News anchors are telling us everything's fine while looking like the anchors from the Batman movie because they can't afford any cosmetics

Clearly pronouns did this

Seems to me this is the problem. No amount of Dem messaging or resistance can make up for the fact that an alarmingly large portion of our country lives in an alternate reality where the "real problems" are that schools are turning kids trans.

A constant stream of lies believed by default

With friends, I've explained some of the issues and republican/fox lies around immigration. RE: child separation and the "Obama did it too" myth. Eventually winning in the moment, only to hear them return to the lie a year later.

The truth cannot compete with an endless barrage of lies.

dwhydx.bsky.social•82 days ago

Could you elaborate on the "Obama did it too" myth? I've heard people say this (for Biden too) and it sounded wrong but didn't know how to refute it.

daless.bsky.social•82 days ago

Obama admin sued to be allowed to separate minors from adults crossing the border. Did this to combat very real concerns about child trafficking. It was used only when they believed the child was in danger.

So yes, Obama separated children from adults at the border and took them into ICE custody.

joyouspanther.bsky.social•82 days ago

He also had unaccompanied children stay in facilities with fences inside while they processed them and people said that Obama also put kids in cages.

agtmadcat.bsky.social•82 days ago

Ah that's good context, cheers.

daless.bsky.social•82 days ago

Trump made it the default policy to separate children from their parents. They packed children into appalling conditions, refusing to give them basic shit like toothbrushes. Usually, going out of their way to make sure the parents had no idea where they were.

Obama didn't do that.

lippard.bsky.social•82 days ago

And Trump lost track of parents, so many who were separated are still separated.

jenny-algies56.bsky.social•82 days ago

What about the one ," Obama divided America "?????
Not American but that one really gets me.

daless.bsky.social•82 days ago

Again, the point is: I am successfully attacking a lie via verifiable facts. Winning the moment only to have the person come back to the lie later.

If the truth is told and accepted once it will still lose over time to the oft repeated lie. Hate to be dark, but I don't see how you fix that.

jenny-algies56.bsky.social•82 days ago

Fair enough. Pretty bad in America atm

denisedeenice.bsky.social•81 days ago

Yes! This is why I think something I read yesterday sounds like a good idea. Anytime you're in a store, say "fucking tariffs" out loud if others are around. Use the same repeat tactic Fox, Newsmax etc use. If they hear it enough it sticks.

nickforbrains.bsky.social•82 days ago

That’s been true so far. But I’m of a mind to think it can’t last forever. When people are out of work and have lost their savings and are sick, they’ll be very angry not just to the point that of stopping watching, but more serious than that.

xeynon.bsky.social•82 days ago

Actual reality is about to get so bad that living in this alternate reality is no longer tenable. Fox News BS does nothing for people who lose their jobs and can no longer afford to pay the cable bill, which is where we're headed.

eugenehetzel.bsky.social•82 days ago

Oh, theyll be hit soon. Theyll blame. Wont matter.

daless.bsky.social•82 days ago

That's my point. People keep thinking reality will set in and it will shift opinions. The majority of those voters are immovable. We cannot await their come to jesus moment because it is not coming.

We need to find a different way.

eugenehetzel.bsky.social•82 days ago

And I aint waiting for fools to rush out. Never have. Which is why D politicans who try should be excised.

eugenehetzel.bsky.social•82 days ago

Those are simply fools.

penguins18.bsky.social•82 days ago

Those people still need to eat and own cars.

flipturns.bsky.social•78 days ago

Fox News is trying control the narrative. They Gox News and its owners do this almost constantly on political issues. They are a propaganda network. They are not an Entertainment Network. This network has caused so much hurt to all the world and it's people.

andyinafield.bsky.social•82 days ago

I'm sure their patrons will look elsewhere to fill rectify the information deficit.

zaphodbeeblebr0x.bsky.social•81 days ago

If you actually are to become a functioning democracy then Fox is going to have to face some consequences for what it’s done. Same for newsmax et al

jaanagolf.bsky.social•81 days ago

Do the magats masturbate in front of their TV's when watching the blond porn stars on Faux?

agamemnonrex.bsky.social•82 days ago

How much longer before the old man just hires leggy blond strippers in very sort skirts to read the freshest propaganda instead of paying the boring newreaders and their "facts" and "numbers" and "recession"???

various-threnodies.bsky.social•82 days ago

Some Fox viewers are going to be very surprised when they have their quarterly financial meeting

noongoon.bsky.social•82 days ago

No news is good news. Reminds me of this commercial. I’m just surprised they’re not just reporting that the stock market is up to record highs.
