Why is Fox News (web) completely ignoring the devastating fires in Hawaii? As of now (evening of Aug 10) there is nothing - Nothing on their webpage. Biden bashing? Sure, of course. Stories about a racoon with a jar on it’s head? Naturally. Over 50 people die in a wildfire and most of Lahaina burnt to the ground? Nah, not worth putting on the page. What the fuck? ---

That’s it, exactly. Or racism. Only a bunch of AAPI people dying in the fires. ---

Also its probably due to non-existant global warming. ---

True, and you’d think they’d pick up on the fact that the wildfires are _obviously_ being caused by Democratic governors not instructing their people to properly rake the forests or something. ---

Duh. Liberal white folks are the ones who vacation in Hawaii. It’s expensive and elitist. +Obama. Mouth-breathing Fox viewing white folks vacation in Florida because they can’t afford anything else. ---

Has anyone been keeping an eye on the westboro or whoever they are? Anyone seen one of them walking around with matches, gasoline? I mean they’ve got prophecy going on here. Prophecies don’t just appear on their own you know.\ Sorry, not about lying f’s fox news. But at least that “church” is about the most lying bunch of f’s ever…so sort of on topic. ---

I’ve never been on Fox’s website (I am a Brit and well, I’m also not a right wing a-hole), so perhaps I am a bit naive, but my god that front page is breathtaking. Not in a good way. ---

Aren’t the websites of British Murdoch rags more or less the same? (honest question, I really don’t know. But I’ve stumbled across the Daily Fail website unintentionally from time to time, and it’s awful) ---

Probably, if the front pages are anything to go by. Same goes for the other right wing papers (which is most of them in this country). I don’t give them the clicks so I haven’t been on their websites. ---

Note that for a nominal financial site, “business” should be in quotes, as it is primarily a click-bait and political propaganda site. [This article in Fox Business](https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/wholesale-inflation-accelerates-july-first-time-months) opens with the line “Inflation at the wholesale level rose more than expected in July, ending a year-long streak of steady declines in consumer prices.” Obviously this it not a reliable economic news source if they think prices have been in steady decline for the past year. It is as if they have taken the bait in misterpreting White House press conferences about decreasing inflation rates. ---
