That cable channel ranks especially low on the integrity scale and that's even AFTER they fired Phucker Carlson 
We see it over and over and over. One controversy after another.
Yes, every station has its faults. No question there!
But FOX NEWS has everybody beat in that negative department. And that's not even addressing their ultra-partisanship for only conservative rhetoric and talking points.
The chasm between Fox News and, say, CNN or BBC has closed over the last 10-15 years or so. That chasm is the width of a C hair in 2023 in my opinion.

Ironic too.
For those of us who remember back to late 2020, after Americans went to the polls and kicked trump out on his oversized keister, it WAS TRUMP WHO TRIED TO WEAPONIZE THE DOJ!! After Bill Barr told the fascist in no uncertain terms that he had investigated the alleged fraud and found no basis for it whatsoever - and resigned - trump then tried to pressure acting AG Jeffrey Rosen to *LIE* by declaring 9without evidence) the election was corrupt, so trump and his accomplices could effectuate their criminal scheme...
“Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen,” Trump said on the call, according to Donoghue’s notes.
When that failed, he tried to insert far-right loyalist Jeffrey Clark into the vacant AG position so Clark could ramp up his own designed fraud/scheme to keep trump in power!
FACT.
@StumpTownStu
No Stump here’s the difference in the chasm! MSNBC is actually a news organization with a left-leaning bias. CNN is mostly afflicted by low standards and a corporate bias; politically, they are pretty centrist. In fact when one sees people like Sanjay Gupta in the pocket of the pharmaceutical industry and discussing the problems of health care as if it’s some kind of obscure mystery what the rest of the world is doing, the corporatism is so flagrant that it’s indistinguishable from Fox News. But the bottom line is, MSNBC and CNN are news organizations with various degrees of imperfections and biases,Fox News is simply the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, with absolutely no qualms about the fact that they are a shameless pack of liars - in fact lying is so much of their standard operating mode that they actually and shamelessly sued for the “ right to lie “. No wonder we’re at each other’s throats with national gridlock & health care is totally broken, the government is entirely dominated by corporate interests, climate change is considered a hoax, and lunatics are revising textbooks to include creationism in the biology curriculum. And meanwhile the orange snow eaters care only of there entertainer, which is 1/3 of the of the country! …..Talk about dark ages!

Media matters report that Fox news or Trump defense network is painting Georgia indictments as criminalizing legal right to challenge election irregularities. Complaining that it is not a crime to complain. Actually, Trump and associates are indicted for trying to overturn fair elections.

As usual, just like revealed only a few months ago, FAKES News misrepresents the truth.
Deliberately
RUDY
CNN —
The evolution of Rudy Giuliani is an epic tale.
The images of Giuliani’s early success paired with
his later disgrace, culminating in a historic RICO
indictment with 18 other accomplices,
are striking and sad.
“Giuliani: What Happened to America’s Mayor?”
airs Saturday at 8pm ET, only on CNN
One of my buddies, a native New Yorker, a few days ago pointed out the irony in Guiliani's use of RICO in targeting the mob only to now be caught up in a RICO case. Personally, I think RICO laws are kinda bullcrap but I don't feel bad for Rudy. I find his involvement in all of this hilarious.
Center for climate integrity reports that Honolulu and other communities have filed dozens of lawsuits against big fossil fuel corporations. Alleging corporations history of deception campaigns to sow doubts about climate science and delay climate action. They knew their products would fuel dangerous climate change but they lied about it for decades to protect profits. Now communities are working to hold them accountable. Recently, a Montana judge ruled in favor of plaintiffs who sued state government on the grounds that pro fossil fuel policies violate rights to healthy environment.
seems similar to the tobacco industry fraud
Everyone wants to mindlessly shuffle through the fog only hoping and praying that their mascara doesn’t smudge , but fuck that fucking smug , take on the transgressions of all this essence surrounding me like a crown of thorns , cuz I keep pounding the pavement and towering with my sword , above these hooligan outlaw gargoyles with their unloyal toy with you fucking attitudes , that sit back relax and act a fool while accomplishing nothing , so my monster doesn’t bother with the frolicking and the fussing , of these judgey wanna be fucking queens cuz I’m the big kingship to the fraud , of all this silly bickering with it’s villainy and it’s taut , buttocks of dumb banter dedicated to nothing but going in circles , as you jerk each other off till the salty tosses from your balls looks like snow on your Urkel , glasses , so stop with the ass kiss , cuz you’re part of the problem , and not apart from it as you dart and zip from what I spit like a slalom …….
Jan. 6 defendant representing himself at trial compares himself to Brett Kavanaugh
Wed, August 23
WASHINGTON —
A Jan. 6 defendant, in opening arguments at his trial before a jury on Wednesday, compared himself to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and said that he liked that members of Congress were fearing for their lives during the Capitol attack.
lock him up for at least 3 yrs
First GOP debate is full of abortion misinformation. Republicans falsely suggest democrats support abortion rights until the moment of birth. This is misleading because late abortions are rare (under 1%) but medically necessary due to complications. 90% of abortions occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
MAGA MORON sentenced to 17 years
CNN -
A leader of the Proud Boys who led the far-right organization’s infamous march to the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, has been sentenced to 17 years in prison – among the longest sentences handed down yet for a convicted rioter.
"Proud Boys: Stand back and standby"
- GOP leader of organized crime enterprise
lying is listed on page one of the maga republican playbook
New York times report Oregon and N.Y. pension funds are suing Fox news. Shareholders allege they are negatively affected by Fox's falsehoods which resulted in $787 million settlement with Dominion voting systems. A lack of journalistic standards and strategy to mitigate defamation have harmed Fox's reputation and profitability.
I would expect you gentlemen to tire , but you just keep on smooching each other every chance you get , doesn’t it get old and stale ? Or boring ? How about making some of your points with people outside of your circle so that we can gain greater insight to where the problems actually exist or manifest ? There’s no way to crack the code to anything new or brilliant if you’re just gonna stand off to the side of the dance floor and be a wallflower . Come on dudes let’s boogie . I want to see what kind of rhythm you got . Dig ?
I , for one , am not gonna take the blame for all this mess that is going on from future generations who look back and frown at all these debacles that are going on right now .
I’ve loaded up a time capsule filled with honest and real answers as to why the people of this time period were unable to rectify mistakes and solve problems and I’ve included excerpts from these pages here in the Covers.com political forum as proof .
So just know that not only are people aghast and shaking their heads at you right now for all of the tomfoolery shenanigans that you guys are exhibiting but people that will be living in the god damn year 3000 will also be disappointed and pissed off . Now try and hold your heads high .

Well that has been the case for the past several years, although FOX has gotten noticably worse the past three to be sure.
But while I agree with the plaintiffs on this issue, it's probably a long shot that they win their argument in court.
Media matters reports that Rupert Murdoch is retiring from his media empire. His legacy is deceit, destruction and death. Fox news, Wallstreet journal and New York post disregard basic journalistic practices to spread misinformation. Reshaping GOP into an authoritarian cult. Fueling attack on capitol to undermine democracy. Allowing dangerous medical misinformation to worsen the pandemic, resulting in countless needless deaths. No one on Earth has done more to promote lies denying man-made climate change and efforts to address the crisis. The world is worse off because of him.
