š³ļøāššš½Thereās not āliberalā and āconservativeā news. Thereās the news, based as close as can get on fact and truth, and then thereās propaganda, filled with lies and distortions.
Fox is the latter.

Stegosaurus@georgetakei There is a large group of influential people (lawyers) who will not recognize anything as "fact" or "truth" except as it is interpreted by a single person in a court of law.
regphunt@georgetakei Well, I think you can stick to what's true and still present a biased POV, but by cherry picking. You don't have to actually present false information. But it's the false information that's becoming a huge problem now.
Matt@regphunt @georgetakei lying by omission

@georgetakei
Fascists have been been repurposing language intentionally for a very long time, for reasons of propaganda and moving the Overton window.
This was most succinctly pointed out in only two words in January 2017, with the invention of the phrase "alternative facts."

CoachJeffery@georgetakei itās really sad that the āNewsā is used to divide us.
@georgetakei I know a tiny number of people who consume Fox News. I can tell because that parrot the Fox News talking points. Their brains are absolute crap. The only times I see anything on Fox is when the legitimate news outlets or the late night comics show clips of it.
The one or two times the TVs at my health club were tuned to Fox, I complained until they changed the channel. Luckily I live in the Seattle āburbs, so Fox rarely appears on TVs in public settings here.

@DTBurosh @georgetakei this is an example of a bubble. Head to the middle of the country and it flips opposite. Both equally problematic. Algorithms and news-for-profit have ruined how we see the world.
Pete@valkraider @DTBurosh @georgetakei
What flips opposite? Truth instead of lies? Love instead of hate? Tolerance instead of intolerance? Equality instead of inequality? What?
@pete @DTBurosh @georgetakei you do realize that people in red bubbles say the same sort of stuff about liberals, right? They sit around and talk about how evil liberals are and how all the stuff liberals do is bad. They feel that the left is full of lies and is intolerant. Bubbles. When you only live and operate in one or the other there is never any understanding whatsoever.
Ursula Katherine Spiller@georgetakei I remember Miss Piggy saying that it was laughable to accuse Fox news of being news... Smart woman.
sleepfreeparent@georgetakei there's no distinction between "liberal" and "conservative" news because liberals are conservatives in denial, and both are fascist enablers
Ambigram ArtSame in the UK :
MP John Nicolson asks Ofcom:
How come Tory MPs are interviewing the Tory Chancellor on GBNews?
#Ofcom rules are clear. MPs may not present the news or conduct political interviews.
Lazarou Monkey Terror ššš@Ambigramart @georgetakei if that's a rule then they've had their usual Tory contempt for the rules š”

donkey@georgetakei Yes. Fox is to news what Prager is to universities.
SammyGalen@georgetakei Compared to a great many ConservaMedia outlets, #FauxSnooze isn't that conservative.
Stoy Ware@georgetakei Any news is going to be biased, just by virtue of facts being filtered through human bias. Propaganda is bias filtered through available facts.
DamnKimberlee@georgetakei you couldnāt be more correct, George. The problem is, Fox News is doing what Russians do--and Americans donāt know how to fight back! Hereās a little piece I wrote about propaganda. Itās amazing how weāre being manipulated https://medium.com/illumination/making-people-stupid-wrong-the-power-of-propaganda-for-profit-b09bd7fec5dc
Jens ElbƦk@georgetakei There is also selected news. You can choose to bring only the news that fit your political view.
@georgetakei Exactly. Truth matters.
@georgetakei a friend says he watches Fox so he can get the other side. I told him he may as well tune into Russian state tv to see what Putin is saying about the Ukraine.
JYThere ARE "liberal" and "conservative" news _outlets_. What part of "the news," facts and truths, one chooses to present can be based on political philosophy.
So there are "liberal" and "conservative" news outlets and there's propaganda outlets, filled with lies and distortions.
Fox is the latter.
climbbike@georgetakei nailed it
Science Bob McGwier@georgetakei I wish we could pull off a class action lawsuit that would bury them
@georgetakei no mainstream news media in the US is based on truth whether conservative or liberal but your sentiment is correct
