Great news, but do we still call it Fox “news” when it’s pure propaganda?

No, let's rename it to The Fox Propaganda Network. After all, it is state-sponsored by the GOP and the Trump band of fools. Let's get real and call a spade, a spade!

It's best to call it what they called themselves in court (lawsuit they lost, for selling propaganda as "news"): FOX ENTERTAINMENT.

They're surely amusing their viewers to death...

It is a another way of saying fake/faux Like a phony item sold as real on EBAY or other websites that sell things as real items of value and they say that they are FAUX and most people are not aware of the disclaimer.

DatGuy Ovuhdare knows how to spell FOX and how to spell FAUX. Furthermore, it seemed perfectly evident that HE UNDERSTOOD the MEANINGS. He was making a JOKE--a play on words, a linguistic joke, if you will.

I propose we call it what Ben does in his videos, 'the state run propaganda network known as Fox'

Wordy, sure, but it's hella accurate lmao.

Didn’t their own lawyers claim they were an entertainment network and couldn’t be taken seriously as a new source?

Faux News is more appropriate.

It is but it’s not “catchy” and it is as close to “fake news” as it gets and that’s Trump’s saying. So FOX SKEWS is NEW and accurate. Now to make it go viral.

The term as used during the Dominion trial was fox opinion media (or something like that).

Eviscerate FOX. Deny them ad revenue by denying their ad buying company CEO and executives his annual bonuses. For example Wayfair. Boycott them for a full fiscal quarter. Get all the on line influencers to remind everyone every day for the entire quarter. See how fast CEO’s stop buying ads - do only ONE brand - do it implacably for an entire quarter. See how quickly you become the new sheriff in town and how fast other CEO’s quit buying ads.

See how fast FOX changes content. All they care about is money. That’s it. All of it. Money. Oh - and next generation FOX CEO will be a decent human being if you do this.

Better -- sue them when they defame you. Extremely vulnerable. $787.5M in largest ever defamation settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. Must face Smartmatic $2.7 billion defamation claim.

When you sue them, you get millions in free publicity.

Meanwhile Fox shareholder derivitive suit: Plaintiffs the New York City Funds and the State of Oregon in this shareholder derivative action against certain directors and officers of Fox Corporation. In connection with Fox News’ propagation of unfounded, defamatory conspiracy theories concerning the U.S. presidential election of 2020, the action alleges breach of fiduciary duties for: (1) the adoption of an illegal business model by which Fox News pursues profits by committing actionable defamation; (2) the lack of good faith efforts to establish systems or practices for minimizing, mitigating, or monitoring defamation risk; and (3) inaction in the face of red flags of defamation risk.

BTW Newsmax had to pay $40 million to. Smartmatic

How is it that this is so little known to the outside world? There should be an ongoing discussion on how the Reps tried to spread impertinent lies to intimidate and infuriate voters.

If there ever is another election, this must be firm knowledge in the country or Trumpsky will claim election fraud again.

Fox has over 100 advertisers. We need to boycott them all. Call and email them til they listen. NY Post also. Anything rupert needs to feel the burn!

David Holst-Grubbe's avatar

That’s a problem. The general public will lose focus and the boycott would be unsuccessful. Have no fear - ruin the bonus’ for one company and the rest will melt like a MAGA snowflake. All we want is to get FOX to modify content.

I listened to the interview with Dr. Vin Gupta yesterday, which was very informative. He has impeccable credentials and extensive experience in the medical field. We need truth to dispel RFK's lies. Congrats to MTN on earning another excellent asset for your impressive team.

Sorry, Julia but disagree. Fox "news" is the front line for the battle for Democracy as their garbage is what put Trump there in the first place. To know that we are living "rent free" in their heads brings me endless joy and it will make them get even more radical to appeal to their base (they don't get new people, they just keep brainwashing their cult more). As they do that it will give us more subscribers!!! Go Ben, Go Meidas Mighty!!

Reframe. This "pissing contest" is about bringing down Fox News. Disabling its ability to strangle the conversation and leave us without a country. The rise of our own, independent info channel *defines* "move on" and away. Take tangible action toward stomping Trump: join us.
