I don't know which is worse - Fox telling an artist to not be political or the NYT reporting that Fox is telling an artist not to be political.

I'm very, very tired of the news being the news. It's no longer about reporting events and ideas but generating content and ad revenue. We've been the frog in the pot for a while now. How much worse is it going to get?

In fact, we should just get rid of news outlets (Fox, NBC) entirely and only allow news agencies (AP News, Reuters) to report on news and politics.

in some places fox news isnt allowed to use the word "news" in the name, because they are, by their own definition "mostly editorial/entertainment"

they avoid the markets where they dont get to pretend to be news

Can we say that to them as well?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Right-wing activists have indulged in baseless speculation that Ms. Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — a kind of ur-American couple of football star and wholesome pop icon — is a contrivance engineered by Democrats, or perhaps the National Football League, to trick unsuspecting Americans into boosting Super Bowl ratings or voting for Mr. Biden in November.

Swift flies on a private plane, “yet she constantly talks about climate change.” It was the sort of eco-scolding that rarely turns up on a cable network whose guests often voice skepticism about global warming.

Swift said that Mr. Soros’s son, Alex, helped fund the sale of her song catalog to the producer Scooter Braun.

Another “Hannity” guest, the Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt, told viewers not to dismiss the bizarre conspiracies about Ms.

“Republicans haven’t won the Popular Vote in 20 years so now we’re trying the novel strategy of attacking one of the most beloved pop stars on the planet & … the NFL,” Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump administration official and a co-host of “The View,” wrote on X.

On Brian Kilmeade’s Saturday show, he asked the Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer about the Swift phenomenon.
