superflippyFox News is altering language in AP and Reuters articles on anti-trans legislation — including a quote from an elected official
NoreiaIs it even legal for news media to misquote someone, especially an elected official?
exohumanThey'll just spin it as liberal woke media doing blahdeda.
They're not a "news" organization. They're corporate media, entertainment. They even lost one of their certifications as a "trusted news source" for blatantly lying and regurgitating internet memes without checking their sources.
hazel 🤷🏻♀️🏳️🌈Please share the source for your claim about certification? My searching left me nothing but a snopes article debunking similar claims.
Ironic
That's great and all, but their behavior and actions are that of a news agency regardless, so wouldn't they have to face the same scrutiny as a news agency?
I can't speak to the legality, but it sure sounds like they violated the terms and agreement in place with AP repeatedly. I wonder what recourse AP has and if they could choose to disallow their content entirely on Fox? It seems like most news organizations get a majority of reporting from AP. I can only imagine the detrimental impact to Fox News if that came to pass.
ArtZuronIt does sound like it could be defamation again, which they'd probably lose again to in court. They knowingly misquoted information.
Jesus, this is just about as blatant as you can get. I honestly can’t imagine how people can eat up degeneracy politics and not get a bad taste in their mouth…
Here’s how you can tell if you’re the baddy: Do you support policies to spite or “own” others? Do you think, “fuck ‘em, I don’t care,” or “they’ve gotta be taught a lesson?”
Then you’re probably the baddy, stop it! Dehumanization, even casually, is the root of all evil.
It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re wrong, obviously — you might’ve stumbled into being right for the wrong reasons — but wow, is it a huge red flag!
Mitchell and Webb: "Are we the baddies?"
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING. ALL CREDIT TO THE ACTORS AND DIRECTORS. =)Sketch comedy show in which David Mitchell and Robert Webb play multiple different character...
EuphoricPenguinI wish more people would understand the value of letting people make their own life choices, even if you disagree with them.
I thought this country was about freedom and freedom to be who you want.
It's freedom in the sense that you are free to own slaves set up your own church and stop paying taxes to the British empire.
“Freedom for me, but not for thee.”
rhythmisaprancerI think this why it became so important for people in this camp to establish the whole grooming whatnot. To their listeners/readers, they are not dehumanizing, they are saving 😐
HaleyHalcyonWhen Pride Parades are chanting “we’re here, we’re q****, we’re coming for your children”, you can’t blame grooming accusers for believing that. 🤢
ericjmoreyDo you think, “fuck ‘em, I don’t care,” “they’re disgusting,” or “they’ve gotta be taught a lesson?”
I often think this way about Fox News, and Health Insurance Companies, and Gab, and kiwifarms
@superflippy we should sue Faux News for libel.
They already got baked by that defamation suit that saw tucker leave, so it wouldn't be as hard to do it again.
thegreekgeek...are we really that surprised at this point though?
Sarsaparilla
ColonelSandersHey beehaw, can you just use your magic admin toolbox to defederate fox news in real life? Getting tired of their propaganda.
ThalestrYes please.
ZashaThey were even inconsistent in the changes in their own articles, ha
