Did you notice how FOXNews doubled down for Trump after the election?

Rupert Murdoch seems to see it as an avenue for mischief?

They were complicit with their propaganda before the election. They carried the water for Donald Trump.

But, since the election, they have been more and more the pro-Trump agenda. They have been attacking Biden at every opportunity and have said very little about the insurrection of January 6th.

They have given about 2 minutes per 24-hour period to the Matt Gaetz coverage.

They have had around-the-clock coverage of the immigration at our border and the failures of the Biden Administration.

They are complicit with the attacks upon our Capitol and they have been busy inciting the domestic terrorists against our country.

came right out and said they would be anti Biden, so if that means pro Trump or anyone else that tries to vilify this administration, that is where they will be.

9. That seems like an admission of being nothing but a propaganda outlet?

Would that not be reason to take away FCC license?

but yes that is exactly what he said, but then they have been a propaganda outlet for at least 20 years or more, we just notice it more, or they are no longer even trying to look "fair and balanced" anymore. I think it is all out in the open now, like white supremacist's, Trump gave them permission to be them.

The followers of 45 got really pissed, and Fox has been losing shares in the ratings ever since.

Their zeal now is an effort to bring viewers back from OANN, Newsmax, etc.

7. Why the hell did we ever let Murdoch into this country and let him buy all these media properties?

Insanity.

We all knew he was a snake when we let him in.

He has a history of putting out his crap "news" in other countries, and we said Yeah, Rupert, c'mon in. Bring some money and we'll write you licenses to buy up TV, radio, cable stations, newspapers and use them to ruin our country.

12. Should MSM report on FOX as part of the larger conspiracy theories in vogue on the right?

Should they report on them as the propaganda arm of the right-wing extremists, rather than letting them slide as a legitimate "news" source?
