Hey beehaw, can you just use your magic admin toolbox to defederate fox news in real life? Getting tired of their propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Yes please.

Jesus, this is just about as blatant as you can get. I honestly can’t imagine how people can eat up such clearly dehumanizing politics and not get a bad taste in their mouth…

Here’s how you can tell if you’re the baddy: Do you support policies to spite or “own” others? Do you think, “fuck ‘em, I don’t care,” or “they’ve gotta be taught a lesson?”

Then you’re probably the baddy, stop it! Dehumanization, even casually, is the root of all evil.

It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re wrong, obviously — you might’ve stumbled into being right for the wrong reasons — but wow, is it a huge red flag!

I wish more people would understand the value of letting people make their own life choices, even if you disagree with them.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think this why it became so important for people in this camp to establish the whole grooming whatnot. To their listeners/readers, they are not dehumanizing, they are saving 😐

When Pride Parades are chanting “we’re here, we’re q****, we’re coming for your children”, you can’t blame grooming accusers for believing that. 🤢

I thought this country was about freedom and freedom to be who you want.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

It's freedom in the sense that you are free to own slaves set up your own church and stop paying taxes to the British empire.

Do you think, “fuck ‘em, I don’t care,” “they’re disgusting,” or “they’ve gotta be taught a lesson?”

I often think this way about Fox News, and Health Insurance Companies, and Gab, and kiwifarms

Is it even legal for news media to misquote someone, especially an elected official?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't speak to the legality, but it sure sounds like they violated the terms and agreement in place with AP repeatedly. I wonder what recourse AP has and if they could choose to disallow their content entirely on Fox? It seems like most news organizations get a majority of reporting from AP. I can only imagine the detrimental impact to Fox News if that came to pass.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I mean, it's not like anyone goes to Fox for real news anyways. I doubt any of their userbase would complain.

@Noreia

@superflippy

Changing the text of articles from AP should be breaking a law somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

They'll just spin it as liberal woke media doing blahdeda.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

It does sound like it could be defamation again, which they'd probably lose again to in court. They knowingly misquoted information.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They're not a "news" organization. They're corporate media, entertainment. They even lost one of their certifications as a "trusted news source" for blatantly lying and regurgitating internet memes without checking their sources.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Please share the source for your claim about certification? My searching left me nothing but a snopes article debunking similar claims.

That's great and all, but their behavior and actions are that of a news agency regardless, so wouldn't they have to face the same scrutiny as a news agency?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

...are we really that surprised at this point though?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

They were even inconsistent in the changes in their own articles, ha

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@superflippy we should sue Faux News for libel.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

They already got baked by that defamation suit that saw tucker leave, so it wouldn't be as hard to do it again.
