| you'd have to actually care about politics, the far right, how ruper murdoch and nixon's advisors spent 50 years making Fox news an unassailable fortress of misinformation a geriatric rapist used as a platform to take over a democratic leadership. Those are the same people trying to take another media entity into. |

| i stay out of politics but to say that only fox is doing misinformation is turning a blind eye to the lies of NYT, CBS, CNN, ABC, BBC (although foreign owned) and MSNBC. |

| ▲ | mindslight 11 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | OP did not say "only fox is doing misinformation". Rather they are referencing what was a deliberate goal for Fox from its outset [0]. Other companies and individual journalists followed suit to various degrees, yes. [0] https://theweek.com/articles/880107/why-fox-news-created which is itself kind of a simplistic, preach-to-the-choir piece. But as you said you mostly stay out of politics, I figure it is easier to follow rather than say the full Wikipedia article on Roger Ailes. |
