The new boss, same as the old boss. They are all about money. Spreading lies, deception, misinformation and making their viewers angry and fearful is what they want. It’s very lucrative for them.
The goal of Faux “News” is to be the official organ of an Evil Empire they’re trying to create, like Pravda was for the old Soviet Union. The stupid people who watch it and believe all its lies are their foot soldiers, and they’re completely unaware of the fact that they’ve been brainwashed.
Will this current unregulated capitalist era end democracy to sustain the increasing inequity in the US … or will AGW/pandemic consume enough of the self-destructive denialists that the younger more educated, less gullible can restore liberty and justice for all and just laugh at the fake news and conspiracy theories?
Food for thought – If you have to be persuaded, and reminded, and pressured, and lied to, and incentivized, and coerced, and bullied, and socially shamed, and guilt tripped, and threatened, and punished, and criminalized -if all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance – you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest.
Here’s another guy that will be “passing the torch”, as he’ll be sitting in a jail cell. Menendez, the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair got caught with gold bars, a convertible Mercedes, and over $500,000 cash stuck in envelopes. He and his wife won’t escape as they did on PREVIOUS charges.
@Al Fresco. Fox IS the Nazi puke. In every country they operate, Murdoch’s organization has worked to destroy democracy and diversity, and promote the right-wing, racism, sexism, and corporatism. That is its purpose, not even out of some philosophy (at least the Koch brothers believe their Bircher nonsense), but to make a buck.
It fascinates me how you manage to project or reverse so thoroughly, and I don’t say this as an ad hominem insult, but as a statement of fact:
- Nazism is right-wing, not leftists: it was and is an explicitly racist, nationalist, sexist, anti-Communist, anti-socialist, pro-corporatist, and authoritarian political stance.
- The Democrats are not radical; they are roughly the same point on the political spectrum as George H. W. Bush, only somewhat more socially liberal. There are no left-wing radicals in national government. None.
- Climate hysteria agenda? Some of us follow science. The evidence is clear.
- Biden corrupt? Did you pay ANY attention to the previous administration? The billions funneled through the Saudis? The deals with China? Or, for that matter, the Supreme Court Justices who openly flaunt ethical standards for the sake of personal wealth? Biden’s son may be corrupt, he isn’t.
- Shut you down? Shout you down? No, that’s what #45 has explicitly stated he wants to do. That’s what DeSantis is doing in Florida with his book bans. That’s what Republicans are trying to do across the nation, by creating a modern apartheid preventing Democrats from voting.
@AlFresco: It is tiring to see so many people complaining on public forums about how they’re being cancelled or silenced. I am reminded of Ms. Greene who went on national TV to talk about being cancelled. Please stop. Thanks in advance.
The first amendment allows people and organizations to lie. (They might have to pony up large amounts of dollars in fines to do so, under certain circumstances.)
It is up to people to determine whether those lies should be believed. It is unfortunate to see how many otherwise-normal adults can be sucked into a cult that instantly seals and protects themselves from truth and reality.
If all you Democrats are so envious of the success of Fox News, why don’t you spend more of your time watching Gumby and the CCCP dictator’s daughter on the Communist News Network, instead of looking for FNN tidbits to attack? The viewer share of Fox seldom dips below that of any of your favorite stations, and it’s often twice or more higher.
Your concern over what conservatives watch is so touching! I think I’m going to go into the bedroom now and have a good cry.
Sorry, but they’re only as effective as their audience is gullible. And ignorant. And uneducated. And stupid. And gross. And racist. And misogynistic. And….

Murdoch admitted in court that Fox News lied, so now we are supposed to believe that he is stepping down.

Republican hero Rupert passes the torch — sort of, kind of, maybe to a future Republican hero — or maybe outcast.
We’ll see.

The mere mention of Fox News to a leftist is like tossing holy water on a vampire. What an entertaining thread!
