I wonder why I see semi-frequent faux news clips and reports on DU?

It seems like we can find other things to post.

1. Yep! If I see/hear something on Fox News, I immediately search for a truthful source, not

faux news distortions and lies. Much as with tRump and his cohorts I don't trust anything Fox News says, although I'm sure of it is OK from Fox News. For example, I recall well the outstanding job Shep Smith did on reporting about Hurricane Katrina.

2. I stopped watching FOX in 2004 but...

everywhere I look I see FOX clips or references. The Mass Media is addicted and simply unable to ignore.

3. But why are DUers' posting it here?

Faux so-called news is a propaganda machine and that includes trying to snag the left.

10. I completely agree. I find it odd, if not suspect.

If I wanted to know what Fox has to say about something (which would be never), I would watch them.

4. I think it is important we watch FOX very closely at this time in our history.

I try to watch them at some part of the day to see what part of the Trump agenda they are pushing today.

It is important to understand your enemy. That is not possible if we ignore them. That does not give them credibility, in my opinion, but helps us to understand who is sneaking up behind us to stab us in the back.

6. I think we need to know what they are doing, yes.

I, however, do not agree with posting repug sources or memes, because the written word and visuals are powerful. The first thing people see is the meme, which supports rw evil, and so re-enforces it. On FB I permanently hide anyone who posts a rw meme or source, even when they say bad things about it, because I believe this is counterproductive. I also block the source so no one else can send that lying filth to me. Find a different source with a different slant about the same thing, don't promote their lunacy in any shape or form - that's what I believe anyway.

7. I agree

Every time something weird happens I look to see how they are spinning it so I know what to expect from the rwnj that I work with.

5. It's like watching a rolling train wreck I guess

you can't turn away... Thankfully the only time I see faux noise is here or HuffPo. Same with the head fascist. Can't turn the channel fast enough.. Like with Bush.. ! click !
