Fox Noose isn’t crazy. Or not exactly. In the first place, even though the Supremes have ruled that corporations are people, they aren’t susceptible to human mental ills. In the second place, they’re being smart: They have a (large) niche market and they’re doing a lot of things to keep them attached and watching. They’re paid to ACT nuts, so of course they do. Of course, it’s easier to act that way if you are… but the owners are just nuts about money.
Fox has always argued that no reasonable person would believe anything they say. Fox has always hidden behind the excuse that they are an opinion source and are not actually reporting the news. Roger Ailes said that in the past and recently a Trump appointed judge, Mary Kay Vyskocil, concurred in her decision to dismiss a case against Tucker Carlson. ……………………………………..
“Just read U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil’s opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox’s lawyers: The "’general tenor’ of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not ‘stating actual facts’ about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in ‘exaggeration’ and ‘non-literal commentary.’ " NPR
And now they have unfettered access to the ins and outs of The Capital’s security footage of January 6th. Making the Capital the least safe place in the USA.
Most of us have known all along that Fox lied – no reasonable person, etc. – but the tragedy is that there are lots of people, such as our Eldest Daughter, the Republican, who believed and dedicated their lives to this crap.
You can thank King Ronnie for that. He opened up all the insane asylums and let the nuts roam the streets. Apparently, some of them got hired by Faux Noise.
Will this network take the 41,000 hours of tapes given to them by Kevin McCarthy in order to properly document the insurrection and sedition, or will they edit it in a way to create their own narrative and provide intel so the next coup attempt is successful?
At first, I wondered what the right-wing loonies would do now that their primary source of lies, disinformation, talking points and propaganda has been clearly shown to be intentionally lying to them to keep their profits up. But then I realized- they would just ignore that fact the way they ignore all other facts. Fox may lose the lawsuit, but nothing will change. Sigh.
Right-wingers whipping up anti-trans hysteria into wave of violent threats
The right-wing anti-trans backlash has inspired a wave of violent threats against educators and health care providers. Tim Nordin, the president of the Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Area School District, checked his email before a school board meeting last spring and found a message from someone with the alias “Kill All Marxist Teachers” threatening his family’s life “for promoting the horrific, radical transgender agenda,” reported Vice News.
Poll: 7.2% adults in US identify as LGBTQ, more than a double than a decade ago
A total of 7.2% of adults in the United States identified as LGBTQ in 2022 a Gallup poll released Wednesday shows. While that’s just a small increase from 2021 numbers — 7.1% — the 2022 Gallup data reflects an overall upward trend. In 2012, when the analytics giant began measuring LGBTQ identification, only about 3.5% of adults self-identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or something other than heterosexual and cisgender (meaning they identify with the sex they were assigned at birth). Researchers credit the younger generations — especially those born between 1997 and 2004
Charlie Kirk claims ‘witches’ made him ‘sick’ as he attacks Trump grand jury foreperson
