Fox News isn't a news network - it's a legitimate threat to democracy.
At the beginning of 2024, Trump went on Fox News like over 100 times since 1/1/24.
At the end of the campaign, Trump was going on Fox News almost nightly. He made like 35 appearances from 9/1/24 to 11/1/24. At one point, he was going on that channel so much that even the producers didn't know what to do. In the last week, Trump has been on Fox News 5 times in three days. He gave his first post-inauguration interview to Sean Hannity. Gee, how did they land that one? He really thinks Fox News is his personal PR arm.
This week, he's been on Fox News almost nightly. Fox News gave their quarterly pep talk to the MAGA Congress with Sean Hannity. He sat down with Mike Johnson like he was a regional manager giving him his annual performance evaluation.
Other MAGA senators and representatives like Tommy Tuberville, Anna Luna, Marjorie Greene, Harriet Hageman, Lauren Boebert, and Ronny Jackson are regular contributors to Fox programs.
The simple fact is that Fox News is all over our government. From the White House and Congress to state and local governments, judicial branches, police departments. And let's not forge the Supreme Court. They are controlling it all. They act like the US government is their personal property and are actively taking away all things good and decent. A peaceful and prosperous America isn't in Rupert Murdoch's best interests.
It's time they answered for what they are doing. They are not the "we report, you decide" network. They are the "you will think what we tell you to think" network.

(155 posts)right wing Republican propaganda outlet disguised as news. Roger Ailes, a political consultant and aide to Richard Nixon, hatched the blueprint for Fox during Nixons first term. Ailes finally got it launched in the mid 1990s. It was bad enough when it started but has lurched further and further into the gaslighting pit with each passing year.

CNN and MSNBC are all money making ventures. None of them care about reporting actual news.
