"Fox News is a right-wing talk channel that profits off Republican propaganda. This isn't an opinion. It is a fact laid bare via the hundreds of pages of legal documents in the Dominion lawsuit. And yet, credible newsrooms continue to describe the outlet as a "news" network. This does a disservice to readers ... Fox News' business model is not predicated on informing viewers. It's dependent on feeding them lies that validate their views"

Preach, @oliverdarcy: https://view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/1677641642131a48fca269f90/raw

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy Can we stop calling it "Fox News?" Just call it "Fox Lies" instead.

@cowvin @drewharwell @oliverdarcy This is exactly what I call it. The Fox Lies Channel.

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy agreed. It’s like Russian propaganda.. sad times

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy Seems like they ought to be described as an illegal campaign contribution airing billions of dollars in primetime ads for the GOP without identifying their PAC or reporting to the FEC.

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy i suggest everyone just call it "The Murdoch Channel" from now on.

It's a 24/7 lies network that would be illegal in any reasonable country.

I don't understand why the shareholders would be upset. Peddling GOP propaganda doesn't hurt the foxnews brand - it *is* the foxnews brand.

@atzanteol @drewharwell @oliverdarcy but they didn’t want it known.

@drewharwell On a side note, we also have @FoxNews which is pretty reliable (/s - if needed)

And Murdoch isn't a criminal...to paraphrase Carl Sagan: once the lie has been bought, the shame of having bought it, keeps it alive.

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy As should’ve been obvious from its launch in 1996.

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy it doesn’t “ profit off the Republican propaganda “. It IS Republican propaganda. There’s no profit. No business. Just propaganda.

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy from their own words, Fox has repeatedly revealed that they are not a news source. They should be de-platformed just like Newsmax and Scott Adams.

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy
Deplatforming probably won't work as its a voluntary action and they are the platform.

Not a lawyer but maybe it will open them to truth in advertising lawsuits?

MT Nickerson Mar 1, 2023

@Basic_Bench @drewharwell @oliverdarcy I'm thinking along the lines of cable news providers such as Spectrum, AT&T, etc., along with satellite providers. If those providers removed Fox, the country would be better imo.

Curmudgeon Mar 1, 2023

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy You do understand that you are making exactly the same argument that Fox is using to defend themselves in the Dominion lawsuit? That they are "entertainment."

Fox News is the propaganda wing of the American #Republican Party.

Kris Samsel Mar 1, 2023

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy FCC… since they can’t do their job? Call them. Rag on them! FOX and News Corporation should be shut down, by now. Our crappy government has their heads deep in their rear ends. Do you think they can see or hear us? Get loud!

Silvia Rasmussen Mar 1, 2023

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy please! Fox entertainment network? Fox gop propaganda network? Anything but the truth network? All alternates that might be more accurate than news network.

@drewharwell @oliverdarcy I'd like to see what the WHCA says about all this. Nobody ever provided more cover for Fox than they did.
