Comment on Groceries are expensive and they're too busy talking about culture war
Nonprophet@lemmy.world 8 hours agoI was on a 2.5 hour flight recently, and a guy a couple of rows up was watching Fox News. It just jumped from: Trans, Immigrants, Socialism, over and over and over the entire flight. It made me realize how fitting the term ‘News Story’ really is!
That’s repetition if just 24 hour news channels. CNN is similar they just harp on a different set of issues.
I’m mildly curious how much longer they can keep it up as they slowly become less and less relevant. Few under 40 subscribe to cable television and instead consume social media influencers who are both myriad and cheaper to influence.

It identifies as news.

Under penalty of perjury, FOX News lawyers assures the court it is absolutely not a news channel but entertainment. Therefore should not be subject to news media regulations. During the 2020 election recount when they were lying about the integrity of Dominion Voting Systems election machines, the lawyers made it super clear now not news FOX is.
So FOX is not only a propaganda machine, but is deceptive at its core.

but… if it identifies as it, that kinda means we need to let it into the newsroom =(
