Why do all these right-wing female "news" anchors look like B-list porn stars?
LeaveMeAloneDamnIt
DrSchlepenstein
Fox, aka the Nazi Party propaganda network.

Repubs are so far down the contrarian rabbit hole that they would indeed welcome our new alien overlords

It's okay I called her a "Press Secretary" when I couldn't call her bullshit Barbie in certain settings.
ProbablyNotMegatron
We need to take a stronger stance against these comments

Fox News should just be called RT

As a European I knew Fox News was kinda sketchy, but what the actual fuck ...

Surprised that little crucifix doesn't leave a burn mark on her chest.

American 'Christian' 'Conservatives' are very luck heaven and hell aren't real.
EpicEggnog
If the US knows anything about it they should shut it down! Doesn’t impede on free press since propaganda is practically causing harm to us.
Thecynicalspud
Murdoch and his cronies need to be take off-air as Russian propaganda
Krypnot
"I will never lie to you" Lies literally every day, then gets a job at Fox and continues lying every day. At least she is consistent?
kalinsovrin
Obi Wan was wrong. we found a place worse. Fox news is the place that is worse that Mos Eisley Spaceport.
jamesx
In what world is sending troops in to kill and occupy another country NOT an invasion?
Biggless9
Dumbest humans allowed to be on air.
ErniesWidow
WTF????
KT8819
To be accurate, its an incursion, Russia already illegally invaded Ukraine in 2014 and never left. The invasion already happened, Fox Sucks
Hogeron
uhm?? is... is this news?
Hogeron
all those "patriot" political parties (e.g. the AfD a**holes in Germany) have shown their ugly face by defending this Putin war criminal
idonotthinkitownswhatyouthinkitowns
To be fair, this is possibly the most honest thing ever to be said on Fox
fr0stbyte124
They're just reporting the "facts".
idonotthinkitownswhatyouthinkitowns
Nah they're just facts not "facts". But that's unusual for Fox.
7hatsBollocks
Besides the question "What is white supremacy?" With fucker Carlson right above it showing what it is.
raybo101
Her dumbness is only superseded by her cuntyness.
bravotipo
who is WH? european here. ah shit don’t tell me it stands for White House. WHAT fucking problem do they have at fox news?
zHurk777
President Biden was slow or hesitant to use the word "invasion" when the russian military first entered Ukraine last week. fox news takes >>
zHurk777
>> every opportunity to criticize President Biden & his fellow Democrats. fox tends to side with russia.
zHurk777
>> last week tucker carlson of fox news made a long statement in support of putin & russia. Now, he's claiming he didn't say those things.>>
zHurk777
>> This is what we in the US call gaslighting. It's a component of the Nazi playbook: lie & lie until no one knows the truth.
Jackstraw207
Make this shit illegal again please.
zealabyrinth
Execute these traitors please.
pareidoliaperson
No no, it should be called "insurrection" also in quotes for /s.
AgainstMethod
Make what illegal?
GrayWhiteWolf
I understand the sentiment, but I would die defending her right to lie. What we need is better education so her efforts are not effective.
AgainstMethod
Education doesn't fix this problem, but you're right that speaking well of Russia should be legal.
SirJimmothy
There's a difference between lying and lying while presenting yourself as news. The word "news" should have a legal definition.
Marcolorn
What? Totally wrong.
DVSBSTrD
Sorry, but the politician who wants to make this illegal only agrees with you on 90% of the issues. So you have to let Trump get reelected.
ABBOTTDOESNTCARE
Just revoke the waiver the FCC gave them in the 90s for a foreign owned news media company to operate within the US.
ABBOTTDOESNTCARE
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-05-05-fi-62827-story.html It’s not like Fox News is an American news company.
sambaah05
This would never have been illegal. The fairness doctrine never required truthfulness, just reporting the opposing view.
WhellerNG
The fairness doctrine also never applied to cable networks. Only antenna broadcasts.
mylastusernamewasmylastname
If the us gets dragged into the war, it becomes illegal/treason. Giving aid/comfort to the enemy.
sambaah05
No it doesnt. You need to read the law and cases. Believe it or not, just giving a pro-enemy speech isn't treason. We still have free speech
KeepingRepostStatsBusy
There were definitely ways to call out bullshit with the FD, once it ended, capitalist learned from Rush how profitable it was to peddle bs
ABBOTTDOESNTCARE
Fox News is not an American news company. The FCC should just revoke their waiver given in the 90s, obviously it was a mistake.

weilong
Also the fairness doctrine doesn't apply to cable news: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ronald-reagan-fairness-doctrine/
Micro2112
Right because the concept of cable tv didn't exist. The law should have been updated not dismantled
weilong
No - the FCC governs terrestrial broadcast because the system that carries it it tax funded and publicly available. Cable is opt-in/premium.
SomeDetroitGuy
The Fairness Doctrine forced news companies to carry misinformation. It was bad policy. It was of questionable legality over the airwaves
SomeDetroitGuy
but was absolutely, 100% Unconstitutional over cable.
AdmiralBananaSplitter1
Plus it's a right to lie except under certain circumstances. That's why politicians get away with everything.
OmnipotentBeing
Should also be illegal, but that would be hard to enforce.
AdmiralBananaSplitter1
In government offices yes. Otherwise, no. Because then it conflicts with the 1st amendment.
Jackstraw207
Ok. Let's make this illegal for the first time then. This garbage is poisoning minds.
sambaah05
That's a very bad dea. Who decides what is truth? What about if it was under the Trump admin? Who decides then?
Bmxtucker
It sounds good in theory but, suppose a Republican Majority voted in one of their own. What then? Just playing devil’s advocate.
OriginalAndWitty
They need to be stripped of their 'news' title as a minimum. Fucking anti-democracy propaganda station is all they are.
PersonalityFire
Their viewership won't care, and would merely see it as an attack on free expression. Which it sorta is. This is VERY tangled.
GoNAVYNo1
It sure is. I have a few "friends" who eat their BS up and now it's very sad to try and even relate to them. They've become fox parrots!
RightRev
Can’t fix stupid. Seriously
GoNAVYNo1
You've got that right! It just boggles the mind to imagine what these dolts are even thinking!
weilong
I completely understand the impulse, but I'd be super-hesitant to create a US Department of Truth, which is what you'd need.
Silmarilcrown
I’d prefer the complement version that’s just charged with flagging falsehoods
farfie
Requiring journalistic integrity wouldn't be a department of truth.
weilong
What metric would the government use to decide if an organization's reporting is cause for fine/penalty?
Ghlargh
I wouldn't ban a single instance of a false fact. I think there could be an argument made to make it illegal to systematically tell lies.
Tr1gg3rH4ppy
Until a bad actor gets put in charge of what the truth is....
SomeDetroitGuy
And when someone like Trump is in charge of it, what information do you think they are banning?
CatBeagler
1] Would we need one? We'd just need to outlaw any company that produces news from having affiliations with foreign states. If a nation
weilong
Could you define affiliation here? Promote interests of, or even cheerlead for a foreign nation is bad journalism but well inside 1st Amend.
CatBeagler
2] REQUIRES a news company to air propaganda or to withhold information from the public there, why should they be allowed to operate here?
KingofDucks1990
What about removing the profit motive for this garbage? Make all news or political opinion shows non-profit via taxes.
KingofDucks1990
A right to a free and independent media does not mean a tiny number of people have a right to make billions pedaling disinformation.
weilong
Can a person write a book of political opinions and sell it for a profit?
bardman135
WH calls Russin invasion an "invasion."
IndianaJawns
Someone needs to “invade” this nazi’s face with a fist.
icommentwithsteveharvey
"Fist"

Your fists in their faces is "legitimate political discourse" when GOP does it, or "Peacekeeping" when allies do it.

Yes.
CarpoolTunnelSyndrome
Fuck fox news but this Nazi name-dropping is exactly the sentiment being spread by the Russian media right now. Fuck fox news in particular.
Tumescentpie
But fox news has aligned with nazis. Literal fucking nazis. The right wing in America doesn't kick nazis out of the party.

what's the context here?

Fox news is full of fascists.

ABBOTTDOESNTCARE
They are not even an American owned news company. I don’t know why Americans love this shit so much.
lljkstonefish
Is Murdoch not the owner? Is he not a US citizen these days?
ABBOTTDOESNTCARE
And yes he has dual citizenship to America.
ABBOTTDOESNTCARE
He has cross ownership waivers due to him having so many media companies in so many different countries.
ABBOTTDOESNTCARE
Fox News America was also started and funded by foreign companies.
ABBOTTDOESNTCARE
So while based in America, it is not an American company while it is dual vested by foreign companies.

sambaah05
Gah. Why do people make me defend them? This chyron is about how the White House hesitated in calling it an invasion the first day or so.
gitguuud
Thank you.
relsky
Exactly. It pisses me off. There is SOOO MUCH evil to dunk on them about (and, hopefully one day, prosecute...) Stop making shit up!
stevencloser
Some people call you a "commenter".
soThatWasThat
Why the quotes? It's a normal statement, doesn't need em. But they add the sarcasm.
bronx72a
Huh. Thanks. Fuck whoever first framed it this way. Last thing we need. Thanks a lot, people who give tfg-ers reason to say "both sides."
davegur
Sigh. Agreed. They have enough actual crap to be called out on. No need to make more up, and now there’s something to call you out on, too.
storebrandproductmascot
What kind of shitheel do you have to be where you make Fox News look honest by comparison?
zHurk777
Regardless, russian media have been playing video of fox "news", tucker carlson & trump. These are facts.
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
Yeah I think most major news sources are terrible but the nit-picky stuff both sides do to shit on the other side is so childish and 1/2
zHurk777
fox, tucker carlson & trump have been used by russian propaganda machine, and not just recently, either. regularly over the last 5 yrs.
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
Okay I didn’t say they weren’t. Please read the rest of comment string
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
it’s not like there isn’t very good reasons to shit all over Fox but when people get in a uproar of stuff like this it just waters down 2/3
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
all the legitimate reasons to shit on them. It’s why you hear botg aides calling each other “snowflakes” when the fringes complain about 4/?
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
*both sides* sheesh need to slow it down a bit this morning
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
this kind stuff 5/5
DaveSamsonite
Eight hours.
sambaah05
I support the administration, but it was silly to not call what was clearly an invasion, an invasion even for 5 minutes. If I see something
sambaah05
Silly, I'll call it out. It's not the end of the world. Just a comment.
breadandpizza
I mean, at least they weren't openly praising Putin though
DookieHowserMD
In this segment at least
alexstamat
They have Tucker for that.
zHurk777
tucker carlson is now gaslighting his pro-putin, pro-russian comments he made just a few days ago.

Fox was in the right here, for once. Souce: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/white-house-calls-russian-moves-on-ukraine-an-invasion

Where's the link to the fox "news" segment. There have been multiple instances in which fox's own reporters have called out fox misinfo. >>
zHurk777
>> Jennifer Griffen for example.
fredh67
I was flipping news channels yesterday, and ended up watching Fox for a while (BBC was doing a show, not news, CNN just on commercials). /
fredh67
It was just news. There was zero bias in what I saw, they didn't argue with a rep for Zelensky, just let her talk, praising him and Ukraine.
chaft
Y’all are really putting a damper on the Imgur hate mob with this “reasoning” and “logic” approach
DaveSamsonite
What did you feel a hate mob was criticizing? The WH for taking 8 hrs to double check their intelligence? Or Fox for the chyron?
zHurk777
fox commentators have repeated been called out by their own reporters in Ukraine for pushing misinformation (Jennifer Griffin for example).>
DaveSamsonite
Ah. Ok. I think 100% of what is on Fox News is disinformation.
sleepinggreenidea
Probably shouldn't pluralize reporters. It's pretty much just been Jennifer Griffin.
sleepinggreenidea
Don't get me wrong, she's been doing the work of a handful of people with her pushback. But I haven't heard of others.
zHurk777
>> trump is pro-putin, pro-russia, without question. fox news is pro-trump, without question. fox pushes the russian agenda, tucker >>
zHurk777
>> carlson for example, who is now gaslighting today about things he said just a few days ago. So fuck you.
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
There's a big push from Democrats to try to turn Ukraine into a partisan issue. Ask yourself the mindset that this comes from.
walnutbreath
Democrats? Fuck outta here with that absolute horseshit. Fuck right off, traitor.
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
Who else is claiming their opponents support Putin?
walnutbreath
Which side keeps effusing praise for Putin? Which side has pushed his propaganda? You're pretending these things haven't happened and it's
walnutbreath
incredibly and fundamentally dishonest. We're done here. I don't waste time engaging with traitors who traffic exclusively in bad faith.
zHurk777
trump has made dozens of statements in support of putin who is a dictator & murderer. Over 60 rus journalists murdered at putin's behest.
zHurk777
>> fox supports putin: some of their own journalists, such as Jen. Griffin, have called out the program hosts for their disinformation.
zHurk777
>> tucker carlson last wk opined full support for russia over Ukraine; now he's gaslighting his own statements in full Nazi Fascist mode.
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
Fox is literally controlled opposition. They're owned by Disney and exist to tell conservatives whatever dems want them to think.
