The dominion lawsuit has them scared, rightfully so

Fox news' reporters have always been reasonable, maybe on the low end of reasonable, but reasonable. The thing that makes Fox as a network awful is their opinion people, and how much they blur the line between their opinion people and their reporters.

Could be opportunism. Fox senses that Trump might go to prison or get barred from the election in another way, and so they either prepare endorsing a different candidate or are simply cautious.

But it's journalism by accident at best.

I wouldn’t necessarily call it integrity. I think Faux News has realized they created a monster that lost them a ton of viewers to even worse garbage at Newsmax. They’re trying to walk it all back now.

They ought to know that since they were first to call Arizona for Biden, they will be first against the wall if he is re-elected

Back in the day if you couldn't nail the price of a gallon of milk you were an out of touch elite. Trump hasn't bought gas himself in decades I'm sure. That's the lesson people should take from this.

people are super-confused about that presidents don't set the price of gas.

It seems to be mostly one side of aisle that can't grasp it. Always the same line of "gas was so much cheaper under trump.."

and I always reply with "well you should have seen the gas prices under clinton, you would be a massive fan!".

It usually goes as well as you'd expect it to.

After all the maths for gallons to liters and euros to dollars and vice versa, gas where I live is about $8.50.

The second best time to start is now.

Don't the networks only see dollar signs?

You think pointing out one specific contradiction will be a wake up call to anyone? It's hard to find a single sentence this sack of shit says that there isn't written or recorded evidence of him previously contradicting. He has spoken on both sides of literarly almost every topic he talks about at some point. He is the ultimate null, he cancels himself out and proves himself a worthless nothing over and over again.

You know his base doesn't give a shit about that. He also said he'd take away all the guns and go through due process later but they don't remember nor care about that either.

It's true. Time and time again these fools are radicalizing their base, and then when it gets out of hand they can't rein it in and it bites them.

Fox and a handful of right-wing politicians made radicalizing into a profitable business that's not regulated and freely available to anyone with no scruples and an imagination.

The people that far gone started pissing on Fox News the day they said Biden won the election. Maybe even a little before that.

I get the distinct impression Fox thinks it can pivot to a different set of subscribers as its armchair-bound geriatric viewers die of Covid and old age.

As [email protected] pointed out, Tucker leaving Fox has done wonders for Fox, but ended up creating that more hardcore Russian propaganda outlet you are talking about. I mean, an interview with Putin, how much more Russian propaganda can it get?

😆 oh you sweet summer child

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

It's not enough. They still lie too much and lean into conspiracy theories
