I was forced to watch Fox yesterday, and Hannety was talking about the campus protests (which everyone at Fox thinks is the end of America) and at the end of a sentence he casually slips in "now that looks like a real insurrection doesn't it." And immediately changed the subject.
That's intentional, they're trying to dilute the meaning so next week he can say, "So both sides have insurrections from time to time, many more took place under Biden than Trump."
Yeah it was so transparent and stupid that I laughed.
Also, everyone on Fox is so ANGRY at everything. It's ridiculous.
Fucking ridiculous. We need to start teaching media literacy in schools.
Rule number one is: Journalists should not be influencing your opinion. A statement like that from someone claiming to be a journalist should wipe everything they just said from serious consideration.
They get around it by not classifying their talking heads as journalist when they get heat on them.
Yeah. We need better rules about identifying news vs opinions and entertainment.
Sure they can say that in court, but their audiences don’t hear that.
We used to have those rules. A certain group of people got rid of them.
Along with rules that required fair coverage of both sides of an issue.
