If Big Journalism doesn't start treating the Murdoch family's poison-spewing Fox "News" like the rogue propaganda-for-power-and-money outfit that it is, the craft will demonstrate its utter contempt for journalistic ethics.

The Fox-McCarthy partnership is one of the most egregious examples yet -- and simply covering it as just another story is not nearly enough.

The times grow more and more dangerous, and Big Journalism is not up to the job -- yet. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/20/politics/kevin-mccarthy-tucker-carlson-january-6-footage/index.html

What can/should Big Journalism do? For starters:

-- Fox "News" and its employees should be kicked out of any press organization or association in which they hold official status or membership.

-- News organizations that care about journalistic integrity should announce publicly that they will not hire from Fox.

Treating Fox as a legitimate news organization should have ended long ago. Better late than never, but if the craft won't do the right thing now, it never will.

And it should not be played on military bases or used to recruit military or other government personnel!
