Fox News Is Worse Than Bud Light or Target
The Stream ^ | 6/16/2023 | John Zmirak

Fox News: Deep State Collaborators Waving the Flag With all that in mind, let’s think about Fox News. Starting with election night 2020, that operation aligned itself with the Deep State, the architects of election fraud, and those in the GOP who’d rather lose the country than lose control of the party to populist candidates … such as Donald Trump. (And Kari Lake, and Lauren Boebert, and Matt Gaetz.)

With a few honorable exceptions (soon to be purged) Fox personalities joined in the mass gaslighting of Americans, assuring them that the 2020 election was “the most secure in history,” and the January 6 protestors were dangerous “insurrectionists.”

The fix was in from the top. I remember on election night, watching Fox in horror, as if I were in some Latin American country where a military coup had taken place — and our old, trusted journalists were suddenly reading off the new junta’s scripts.

Fox Proved Itself No Lion I never watched Fox News again, switching first to Newsmax, then to Steve Bannon’s incisive War Room — three hours a day of all the news and analysis anyone needs. With one exception, of course. I’d drop onto Fox for a single hour per day to watch Tucker Carlson’s program, which now stood out like the last show on television not taken by the body snatchers.

And we all know what happened next: the Murdoch empire decided it was worth losing tens of millions of viewers, and hundreds of millions of dollars, to stay on the right side of our new, intolerant regime. So it axed Carlson suddenly, and announced it would be holding him to his non-compete agreement.

In other words, it’s willing not only to lose all the advertising revenue he’d brought them…

Well, it is hard to live in Manhattan on less than 10 million a year.

And those people don't want to miss out on the money.

Just your basic venal, vapid, modernist, people.

They would go to MSNBC or CNN in a minute if they offered more than Fox.

The drip drip drip to shut down those who want real changing, while protecting the leftist to push things more and more left. I haven’t watched Fox in a long time.

No doubt of it, the call in Arizona which was a paper thin margin even with massive voter fraud, and they also said that Pelosi had won the House by a wider margin (it ended up as five votes). I haven’t watched Fox since the night they fired Tucker. The ownership has about as much integrity as the publishing/network family in the series Succession, which was based on the Murdochs.

Did anybody catch Fox and Friends weekend this morning (Saturday)? This “headline” makes no sense after they spent 20 minutes blasting PRIDE nite at Dodger Stadium.

Some of Faux shows are nothing more than tabloid reports or stuff the used to be 2 column inches in section C of newspapers.

At the same time casual flip to CNN shows them reporting on events around the world.

Then back to Faux - more tabloid news.
