Fox News with many other media outlets around the world is owned by Rupert Murdoch.
And who does Rupert like to hang out with???? 😎 🇷🇺👈🏻
People should be mortified how serious a threat his media empire has become.
TRUE! Possibly the most dangerous influence of our time. I turn it on every now and then just to see. Doesn’t take long for them to start screaming lies at you. Talk to any Republican. They can regurgitate Fox talking points in a second. This is no ENTERTAINMENT channel.
Combine that with a nation that for the first time in their history went to war under false pretences, around the same time, undermining their "sense of being good".
It's not just Fox. All the major news outlets now are giant corporations who have interests in keeping us divided and ignorant of many of the things our electeds are really doing.
The toxic “fruit” was and continues to be consumed by the American public as there has also been a coordinated dumbing-down of the American education. We are witnessing the deadly combination of hateful misinformation and a population lacking critical thinking skills. 🤯
Is a lot deeper than that. The obscenely rich placed Reagan as president and his policies are still on effect today making de wedge between rich and poor making it bigger than the Grand Canyon
MAGA threats are real, and some people are too afraid to do the right thing. This is the NAZI/Communist plan to induce fear in the populace to cancel freedom of speech and allow democracy to die in silence.

Nov 7th, 2028. A flickering TV screen. Static hums momentarily before cutting to a news broadcast... "ELECTION DAY SPECIAL—BROUGHT TO YOU BY TESLA MEDIA&TRUMP VISION." The act of voting still performed of course-Americans love tradition-but it is as consequential as a sitcom audience clapping on cue
I had to watch about 5 minutes of Fox News last night, Jesse Waters. Jesus, what biased terrible shit was coming from his mouth. I mean, North Korean Broadcasters would be like "chill bro".
Having watched it as a former GOP, the answer is yes. It took a hard right when Roger Ailes was canned for sexual predation in 2015. Murdoch took over and hitched his wagon to Trump, swinging the co. hard right at the time. That's when l left.
That could be, but constitutionally it could not cover anything else.
By time it was ended, there was question about the continued constitutionality of applying it to broadcast since new tech had solved the scarcity justification.
Rush Limbaugh got the whole far-right lie machine rolling when the Fairness Doctrine was eliminated, but yeah, FoxNews has been a toxic influence during its whole existence. I think even the Musk version of Twitter is not as bad.
And if we had instituted universal media literacy education in K-12 (like guess who? Canada!) we may have stood a chance against Fox propaganda. Critical thinking skills applied specifically to media messages gives kids/people the ability to be smarter than the media manipulators.
Know how that KGB agent said they recruited businessmen from many democracies...have you thought about who these people could be...wonder what rupert's code name is...it would make a lot of sense imo..no?
Just a reminder that Russia has perfected the art of dis- & misinformation after 1994. Russia strategically uses it to dismantle the US from within. Putin is the one that creates it, Fox is the tool to spread it &Trump regime is the tool to verify the lie for MAGA to believe. It makes perfect sense
Here a soviet KGB defector professionaly explains (in the year 1984) what Trump/Musk/Vance/Putin is doing to USA right now: https://youtu.be/IQPsKvG6WMI
Playing field setup by organized religion, that made sure there were enough humans on this planet that lacked critical thinking skills and didn’t question the obvious.
Fox News is only part of the problem. Poor education lacking in literature, art, music, civics which builds empathy and an understanding of how to be a good citizen. Reality tv dumbing people down and fabricating drama. And social media siloing and isolating people.
They have weaponized ignorance and turned it into hate. Hatred and anger inhibit human cognitive functions and force us to react with our reptilian brain. Social media algorithms also use this human characteristic to take us down rabbit holes. It’s very powerful.
That's for sure. My boomer peers are such a disappointment. As are the younger generation who helped slit their own throats by doing NOTHING(not voting).
So, what are you going to do about it? The other networks are serving marshmallows. I’m sick of this polite bullshit. Let’s call them Nazis, roll the January 6 tapes. The access Hollywood tapes.
...yes, but you gotta give due credit, they perpetrated white slavery with a bullhorn, no whip or shackles needed. Remarkable, the decline of this country.
I have been repeating this to my wife since Jan 20th. Fox News learned to capitalize on hate to sell ads. Just tell senile people what they want to hear and they will sit in front of your channel for hours.
I recently stumbled on a horrid channel - Sky TV Australia. I googled it and sure enough it's owned by Murdoch, so he's slithered back into his home country. This story was VILE - about Kamala Harris - it was as bad or worse than fuxx USA.
And Koch brothers w/ their Heritage Foundation, various 80s/90s radio "personalities" other fringe groups like John Birch Society all working toward our fab 2025. I hope it's all they ever dreamed (for rest of us, it's gonna be a nightmare). Their hard work has definitely paid off for them though.
Fox's "fair and balanced" tag line when they launched was a master stoke. It was BS, obviously, but all the other media suddenly got very scared that they weren't being "fair and balanced".
That's when this all went wrong. You don't both-sides when one side is clearly wrong. Doing that IS bias.
The GOP has been working toward this for nearly a half-century. It goes well beyond Fox News. They are just a propaganda arm of the GOP psyops on the base.
Improv time!
Yes, and...
the destruction of public education and shitty Christians betraying their faith to identitarian politics and abusing their children into moron fascists (and rapists)!
If this country had had intelligent people from the jump this entertainment should have lasted 3 months tops. Awfully frightening to think there are so many gullible enough to swallow so much bullshit. I guess that's why the Star Magazine was so popular.
EVERYTHING we KNOW - we LEARNED. Every word, every fact-we learned. Orwell & others saw the problem and tried to warn with their novels.
Murdoch (Fox) and others saw the possibility of "educating" the public and launched their media to purposefully create what we now see.
Isn’t that the disgusting horrific truth, all because dementia brained Reagan changed the FCC regulation MANDATING FAIR AND BALANCED NEWS. These one sided propaganda shows let alone an entire network are all thanks to fucking Reagan Rot-Brain☠️💩☠️
Thatcher was, they were buds. She decimated many unionized miners lives and the regions of the mines, she gave it all over to the wealthy and fucked the proletariats. Horrible woman couldn’t even show love or kindness to her only daughter. Raging malignant cunt.🤬🏴☠️🤓💙 Did that help?
It was horrible in those days. The unions stopped us getting into work with flying pickets.Gangs of union thugs on work gates. It was alright for them they extorted money from workers so they got payed , we starved.
It was a shit show on both sides of the Atlantic. All the pillaging started bc of Reagan’s deregulations, big Corps buying little mom n pop companies and promising not to break them up, HA! Broke them up and sold them for parts, stole everything of value (including retirement accounts of employees)👿
Oh dear ! She was amazing ! And the miners unions stole the money paid to miners for injury. Scargil tried to bring down a government . We have elections for that not mafia Union boss.
Fox News has fed lie after lie to the uneducated and uninformed maga cult leading to the destruction of our democracy ! they have destroyed our alignment with our allies! they should be shut down now!
Don’t know how to keep people from watching Fox conspiracy tv just about any business including hospitals,bars etc seem to have it on all day long and if they keep throwing shit against the walls sometimes it’s going to stick and it seems to have stuck
That will be Rupert Murdoch, an Australian who moved to the UK, fucked it up, moved to the USA and now he's fucked that up.
Fortunately he's in his 90's and won't be alive for very much longer.
Was it Fox News who forced the Democratic Party leadership to look the other way in Nov & do absolutely nothing to protect US democracy when the election was blatantly hacked by the fascist GOP, Musk & Putin?

Cable channels don’t have broadcast licenses.
By time it was ended, there was question about the continued constitutionality of applying it to broadcast since new tech had solved the scarcity justification.
It couldn’t have covered cable.
Maybe a more positive message? Oh, wait, that's what Kamala Harris did.
Think maybe the real problem wasn't the message? It was the medium.
Way to go, MSM! 🖕

Arbor day
Let's plant our future.
No work.
No school.
We occupy our towns, our capitals, DC.
Organize now.
So much to answer for.
Cunning and deceitful -- isn't something to be proud of.
? Poor you fox told you all be stupid.
It’s clear you have no idea what that old FCC policy was - especially if you think it would apply to… a CABLE CHANNEL 🤦🏻♀️
Give credit where credit is due
Fox, Twitter and Facebook.
It's ok to be a frothing racist with stupid conspiracy theories instead of basic facts, thanks to all of them.
He has had 6 wives, his kids hate him, he hacks dead people’s phones, admits to lying to promote far right policies & pays no tax.
Fuck Murdoch!
Fuck the idiots that believe his BS!!!!

Be bias for truth. Truth >>> lies.
Stop treating both like they are the same.
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

Fox has been lying for 20 years, but that is OK
