Rupert Murdoch had to pay Dominion $787.5 million for knowingly broadcasting falsehoods. Given that, what qualifies a Fox anchor to talk about trust in the media?

Fox News and ilk got away cheap. They are still focused on presenting the American People with BS. They still think they are getting away with it. Note how arrogant and self-righteous Jesse Watters continues to act. Several billion dollars, say, 30 billion or more might have gotten their attention.
Accountability matters. Murdoch's settlement shows the cost of eroding trust. How do we build sustainable business models around truth, not profit? What role should leaders play in restoring faith in media? #CorporateResponsibility 🤝
Fox News talking trust? LOL. Bestie, that's rich AF.✊ Time for more accountability tbh. Their profits come before ppl ALWAYS. We gotta fight for workers, climate, healthcare & EQUALITY. Organize! #Medicare4All #GreenNewDeal #UnionStrong fr fr 🔥
“The mass media…amuse, entertain, and inform, and to inculcate individuals with the values, beliefs, and codes of behavior that will integrate them into the institutional structures of the larger society.”
The sane washing of trump, and the down playing of the warnings, by all of the corporate media has played a significant role in discrediting them. Yes, the right player a big role, but frankly they did nothing to help themselves.
That 787 million is going to seem small compared to Smartmatic asking 2.7 Billion $$ in its lawsuit against FOX for defamation. That trial should be starting soon as well. Hopefully they ream them in court since they have just as much evidence as Dominion did.
Totally agree! It all stems from Fox knews which was spread to other affiliates threatening them to spewing faux news. That delivered us podcast evil like Alex Jones, etc. They should have been shut down for intentionally lying pretending to be a real news show.

They have contributed heavily to the decline of our democracy.
The asshats who put them there.
