Why is FOX allowed to be on the air?

Post by Icarus »

Fox News has yet to air any of the Biden administration’s COVID-19 response team briefings

Fox showed 89% of Trump’s COVID-19 task force briefings

Fox is to news what McDonald's is to food. Only people who are lazy and don't give a crap about their health and well being consume it.

Not to mention the fact that their mascot is a clown.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Rather than damage Trump by showing what a COVID-19 response team briefing looks like under a President who allows the science to speak, they have decided to let their viewers remain ignorant of the essential information that Trump tried hard to make sure they could not get.

Result: some of their viewers will die from not knowing the facts. But Fox would prefer their viewers to die rather than have their faith in Trump diminished.

Fox is not a news organization. It is a political organization that manipulates select bits of news to advance its agenda. It has been able to shield segments of the population from unfiltered news to create a highly partisan response. It is propaganda for those who crave propaganda, as well as propagandizing those who watch the network with them.

This reminds me of the local right-wing radio station in Arizona here when they carried Trump's “Stop the Steal” rally speech on January 6th, but this right-wing radio station didn't carry Biden's inauguration speech.
