MODERATORS
I'd honestly rather Fox focus on this than their usual conservative mouthbreathing.
The article literally includes marketing material for the restaurant chain and is dripping with political allusions.
The subject of the article is 39, a redditor, disagrees with his wife on how to raise their kids, thinks everything must be transactional, and that only the "worthy" deserve "treats". The guy is literally a caricature of Fox's audience and right wing ideology as a whole.
So, no. It's not just a silly article. It's still thoroughly infused with the same propaganda, and now we've been duped into spreading it as something innocent.
We left Reddit for Lemmy just so we could post Reddit stories that appear on Fox News, on Lemmy.
Wow. Good job, folks.
did you forget that this is a shitposting community not a wholesome content community. I posted this because I wanted to make fun of it AND Reddit. Pointing out the obvious that I have seen in multiple places--not just news on social media, but my local news on TV, and many other places using a Reddit post--that is impossible to verify whether it was made up or not-as a source for 'content'. But even if it was false and just propaganda, I don't think the right are capable of interpreting this as you described. (I purposely don't look for these connections because I make it a point to ignore politics as a whole, and even after pointing it out, I still don't care).
Make better shitposts
A factually true story can still be propaganda. And yes, the right is actually constantly masturbating to stories like this.
"All these spoiled rotten kids think they're entitled to all these handouts! Back in my day... we got a tiny piece of cheese and if we asked for more, we got beat! Parents these days are all so soft and..." etc, etc.
I literally hear this shit every day, all day.
Just because you might exist in an echo chamber, doesn't mean it isn't happening.
It is a good distraction. But heck, I wish I could just copy and paste quotes from social media as a 'journalist' for a large company like that. It's all the article was with only a few sentences from the writer. They pretty frequently post 'everyday-type' stuff like this.
It’s ruff ya
Hmm, I suppose they might have language models built into their content management system to do that for them
There is not much stopping them. All the more reason to boycott. There are small trustworthy, non-politically-leaning news sources still worth using.
Sounds like a dream job if it wasn't Fox or similar.
It's probably done by unpaid interns anyway.
