The formula used here is more disturbing to me: mine social media for 4 or 5 mean posts, then use that as the basis of implying “Look how evil Democrats are!”
I mean, even legit news channels sometimes resort to just reeling off a bunch of random people’s tweets or whatever, but they usually say “Some people thought X, but others disagreed and thought Y”, giving examples of both.
Once again, there is no pretense of FOX doing journalism here.
Any sign of the House Committee’s letter to Hannity yet? It’s been a few hours since I checked.
Social media chatter that supports Fox objectives is frequently used to generate “news” stories, as in “Dem Official In Left-Leaning State Blasted On Twitter For Insensitive Remarks”.
The tactic of painting fringe yahoos as typical of one’s political enemies is commonplace; Fox has learned how to generate ratings by turning it up to 11.
I think you mean Pro-Trumplication. Part of the Department of same. Get Trumplicated at Trump University today!
I popped in to watch for a just a few minutes yesterday. That Brian guy is really angry and just seemed full of so much hatred. Whew, so ugly to see.
Brian thanks you for the positive performance review. That’s exactly what Fox News is looking for in an on-air performer.
From part-time racist sidekick to full-time insurrection propagandist:
Is Fox News bad? Only if you think taking a list of the ten healthiest cities in the US, according to source, and presenting it as the ten unhealthiest, with the same source attribution. Easy mistake to make, right? And also the graphics department mixed up Irvine, CA with Irving, TX …
Fox News is so fucking hard-up for anything bad about Biden, this is the current leading headline on their website. Fox News is not only “really all that bad”, they are also “pathetic as fucking shit”. I’m “captivated” by how fucking moronic that “news” site really is. Up next for them: Bat Boy!
If you watch or read Fox News, find a new source.
Yes, but how spicy is his pizza?
If you drip pizza sauce on a tan suit, it looks really bad.
Wear this instead.
Fox News has a story today on its main website about fare-dodging on Seattle’s light rail system. It includes the following eyebrow-raising claim:
“…the lone Republican on the Sound Transit Board says taxpayers who have forked over $168 billion for the system are getting ripped off.”
As far as I can ascertain, $5.2 billion has been spent on Seattle’s light rail so far. Much higher than forecast, sure, and arguably a bad use of money that could go for less sexy but effective mass transit.
Still, a far cry from “$168 billion”.
I think that this is where they are getting the $168 billion number.
So they just dropped the decimal point.
Also it’s proposed spending for the region over the next 16 years, rather than money already taken from the tax payers.
OK, but other than getting it wrong by a factor of ten, and getting confused about the past and the future, their reputation remains intact…as an arm of the Russian propaganda machine.
Jesse Watters admits he’s a creep.
Deflating a colleague and 25 tires is impressive.
I remain stunned that guy got such a primo spot on Fox. There is no bar so low that Fox won’t crawl under it.
Check out the comments cheering him on.
Party of family values. Party of law and order.
