Fox propaganda is playing on TVs 24/7 in airports, gyms, bars, hospitals, nursing homes and even military bases. If you see Murdoch's trash such as Fox or one of his other channels on a public TV ask that they change the channel or change it yourself if you can. It's time to do put a stop to it.
For changing the channel on a TV that you don't have the remote to (ex: public TV or nursing home TV) your smartphone might be able to do it if it has an IR blaster. If your phone doesn't support that there are USB-C dongles you can buy that I believe can do it. Another option is to buy a universal remote. Also for some smart TVs it might be possible to download the app and use that to control the TV.
Also especially if your parents/grandparents are elderly, or have dementia or Alzheimer's consider setting up parental control on their TV to block Fox News and other right wing channels. It's important to protect their health. I'd say this will depend on their situation but I trust that you'll know if this is the right thing to do based on that person's unique situation.
If you work for a hospital or nursing home maybe try advocating for a facility wide ban of Fox News and other right wing channels. I sincerely believe it will improve health outcomes.
Also when the image was made the percentage of scientists who accept climate change was 97%. Now I'm seeing multiple sources say the percentage is 99%. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac2966 https://theconversation.com/the-97-climate-consensus-is-over-now-its-well-above-99-and-the-evidence-is-even-stronger-than-that-170370
I still don't understand how they're allowed to call themselves a news station when they won a misinformation lawsuit by claiming its just "entertainment"
That's because they didn't. Tucker Carlson and Fox were sued for libel over statements made by Carlson and Fox's lawyers said nobody thinks Tucker Carlson is a real journalist but an entertainer. They didn't claim they don't have news channels or journalists. Their claim was Tucker Carlson specifically is an entertainer and everybody watching Fox would know that since he was never referred to as a journalist.
The reason they used this defense is because opinions are free speech and you can't be sued for saying what you think about someone. However, journalists are assumed to be reporting facts not their opinions. Fox does their best to ensure their actual journalists aren't the ones directly making outrageous claims.
All the more reason why a channel with "News" in its name should not be allowed to have entertainment or opinion shows exceeding a very small percentage of their airtime. A News channel should be news, not opinion.
Fox gets around a lot of shit by having all the bullshit during those shows instead of during traditional news segments with an anchor in a chair reporting on events.
They literally sued the US government to be able to lie. They have zero interest in news, it's all just propaganda
Fox news is the literatal propaganda channel that all dictatorships have; I never understood how it blcould become legal in the US of all places
We have other channels like that too, including the state sponsored "Voice of America". When I realized that I was ... Well not surprised but definitely not happy.
Are they really trying to copy v for vendetta?
Something something free market something something invisible hand
I remember reading something about laws that changed that made it so the government is much more hands off on the subject of the quality of news reporting...
