"Fox should not be considered part of the news media. It’s something else entirely. Indeed, it’s the opposite of news.

...decisionmakers at Fox News describing — in their own words– the process of knowingly and intentionally spreading lies to their gullible viewers for political and financial gain."

"Rupert Murdoch doesn't treat Fox News like an actual news organization.

The revelation is part of several legal filings... uncovering numerous instances in which the Fox Corporation chairman brazenly directed the network's leadership to help the Republican Party.

Taken as a whole, the statements show that Murdoch apparently views Fox News more like an extension of the GOP than a credible news organization"

"CTU released a statement without individually addressing the Tribune’s questions about its support of Johnson’s campaign."

Johnson also responded via written statement.

"Fox News is unique in its bad faith.

“Respecting this audience whether we agree or not is critical,” Hannity texted on Nov. 24.

It’s a version of respect indistinguishable from contempt."

"the deputy placed the barrel of a gun in Jenkins’ mouth, it fired and the bullet exited behind one of Jenkins’ ears."
apnews.com/article/politics-cr

"it fired"

Apparently, the gun fired all by itself. Otherwise, surely the AP would have said, "the deputy fired the gun"

Journalists use of passive voice to exonerate cops who shoot people is journalistic malpractice.

"By most accounts, [Tucker] Carlson shares Donald Trump’s deep cultural resentments. But... in trying to explain why Carlson and many of his colleagues do what they do, we shouldn’t underestimate simple greed...

“It’s remarkable how weak ratings make good journalists do bad things,” Bill Sammon, a Fox senior vice president until 2021, is quoted saying."

Trans lives are not a “debate” point, BBC. That’s for things like favorite bread recipe.

"video of the brutal beating death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old motorist fatally injured after being pulled over by police earlier this month."
washingtonpost.com/nation/2023

"fatally injured"???

Killed. Just say KILLED.

Seriously, who says "fatally injured"?
Tyre Nichols was killed after being pulled over by police.

@acosta Hey Jim,

Why did censor themselves and not post this to Twitter?

The George Santos story is a fascinating example of how modern media “journalism” has failed us. Now all they want to do is deflect blame for their failure to do their job to inform the public on others.

Testimony from the : Rebel News circulated a photo showing country music singer Paul Brant helicoptering food to the Coutts blockade. The only problem is the photo was from FIVE (5) years before. It never happened.
