They can CALL it “News” but their lawyers argue that not only is it not news, but anybody with a reasonable grasp of reality will know that it’s not news. Which tells us exactly how good a grasp of reality their viewers have.
Kandiss Taylor lost the GA Republican primary for governor because she received only 3.4% of the vote. Like her hero Trump. she refuses to concede, claiming that the election was rigged.
Pennsylvania Repub Doug Mastriano running for governor wants to require that all voters need to re-register, falsely claiming fraud by “phantom voters”; judges have ruled that there isn’t any evidence of dead people voting.
This is exactly what Trump and the Repubs wanted. Create doubt in the electoral process when there isn’t any evidence and then they’ll have Repub state legislatures throw out elected candidates in favor of their picks.
Just like Hitler & Goebbels taught them – the Big Lie needs to be maintained at all costs, more than anything else for the party. Accuse those who catch you in the lie of what you yourself are doing. Find scapegoats to blame and distract the nation away from the party. Deflect attention away from the Big Lie by bringing up other minor issues or creating other lies.
Actually, Fox would have reported that the Confederacy won. Also, slavery was… is a venerable tradition—don’t listen to those muckety woke liberals like Lincoln.
Fox thrives on division — weakening our resolve/stremgth — rather than uniting us in common causes that benefit all Americans. There was a time — before hyperpartisanship clouded thinking — that most Americans would have found the Fox distortions repugnant/divisive/seditious … but now the siren call of the innuendo and conspiracy theories lure the [deliberately, it seems] undereducated, who have no critical thinking skills, to prefer the [sometimes titillating] fantasies over the objective truth of reality.
Prior to the 1960’s the Democrats were southern based and the “Dixiecrats” were a large part of their base. Kennedy didn’t want to seriously deal with Civil Rights in the south, it was a political bomb for him. When the Democrats, very reluctantly, passed the Civil Rights bill in the 1960’s, LBJ said, “We have lost the South for a generation.” Considering that many of them haven’t conceded the Civil War, he was unreasonably optimistic. But, once that was done, liberals chose the Democratic party and those who disagreed with that act became Republicans by default. Prior to that the “Solid South” could be depended on to vote Democratic. They tried the Dixiecrats and a few other options, but they needed a national party to still have a hope of winning elections, and the Republicans were their only other option. The Democrats were seen as the party of those who didn’t approve of the dogs and fire hoses used on children that we saw on TV, and that was the hand they were dealt, so they are still playing it. They had to, if they wanted to continue to exist, since they had lost their biggest bloc. Since then, both parties have continued to attract the types of people that they got stuck with in the “60s. They don’t have a choice, they need votes and they have to try to please the people who will most likely vote for them. You may find the MAGATs to be pretty disgusting people, but a disgusting person’s vote counts for exactly the same amount as that of a saint.
Faux News is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party. Always has been. They all know who signs their paychecks….Rupert Merdoch, The super right wing zealot.
Biden name-checked Fox again when he was explaining his agenda for lowering costs on things like health care, child care, and prescription drugs.
“This is not, as our friends on Fox would say, socialism. This is very practical,” Biden said of his plan to lower the cost of insulin.
He went on to lay out many of the facets of his Build Back Better plan, which is when Kimmel and the president teamed up to call Fox a giant space station with planet-killing false information lasers:
JIMMY KIMMEL: This all makes perfect sense. And the fact that this makes sense is why it doesn’t make sense, and why it seems so crazy, and that we have so many problems and that… Maybe it’s just that Americans aren’t as knowledgeable as they should be. Or maybe there is a Death Star pumping false information into our brains.
smurph and jackoff constantly keep cherrypicking and ignoring history like the Hitler & Goebbels Big Lie Play book tells ’em to.
buzzturd forgets conveniently that most of us watch CNN about the same amount as we watch OAN. Yet it screams and whines when we fact check its BS and bias check its sources just like we do ours.
Poor lil’ Nazi and Confederate babies gonna whine, whine, whine ’cuz they both lost, just like Rump lost after those traitors all tried to steal democracy away from citizens.
They DIDN’T lose. They’re actually winning. They hold the Senate (or at least paralyze it), and the Supreme court, and they are likely to be the House majority. We will be a wealthy Third World country.
It is only an “Entertainment Channel” legally, what harm could it cause? No one in the USA is gullible enough to actually think what they broadcast is news. Right?
