Onscreen and off, in ways subtle and overt, Fox News has adapted to the post-Trump era by moving in a single direction: Trumpward.
The network has rewarded pro-Trump pundits like Greg Gutfeld and Dan Bongino with prize time slots. Some opinion hosts who ventured on-air criticism of the former president have been replaced. And within the Fox News reporting ranks, journalists have privately expressed concern that the network is less committed to straight-ahead news coverage than it was in the past.
On Tuesday night, Fox host Tucker Carlson ignored what Mackeyâs actual charges claim and instead shouted that Mackey had merely âhurt (the) feelingsâ of liberals. Carlson said that Mackeyâs arrest was proof that the First Amendment is âeffectively suspended,â and he declared that âwe are clearly living under some form of martial law at the moment.â
They aren't Trump state media...they just negotiated a confession about lying that included non-disclosure until after the election.
On Oct. 12, 2020, Fox News agreed to pay
millions of dollars to the family of a murdered Democratic National
Committee staff member, implicitly acknowledging what saner minds knew
long ago: that the network had repeatedly hyped a false claim that the
young staff member, Seth Rich, was involved in leaking D.N.C. emails
during the 2016 presidential campaign. (Russian intelligence officers,
in fact, had hacked and leaked the emails.)
Foxâs
decision to settle with the Rich family came just before its marquee
hosts, Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity, were set to be questioned under oath
in the case, a potentially embarrassing moment. And Fox paid so much
that the network didnât have to apologize for the May 2017 story on
FoxNews.com.
But there was one curious
provision that Fox insisted on: The settlement had to be kept secret
for a month â until after the Nov. 3 election. The exhausted plaintiffs
agreed.
Trumpers...even your media is playing you..Tell lies until you get to court, and then drop or settle the suit. Don't worry...the details about election fraud are coming...any day now...
The sudden call by the right for 'Unity' face plants while Faux Spews keeps up its vitriol. As long as falsehoods are allowed broadcast to the public, this will not end.
President Donald Trump spent the weekend tweeting clips and quotes from Fox programs that were laced with misinformation and conspiracy theories about the election he lost to President-elect Joe Biden as part of his effort to delegitimize the results.
Biden won the election by a convincing electoral vote margin and enjoys a large and growing popular vote lead. Trumpâs campaign is now trying to win in the courts what they lost at the ballot box by alleging widespread voter fraud, fueled by the same viral misinformation circulating on social media platforms. Their legal case is comically weak, has virtually no chance of reversing the election even if it succeeds, and appears to be in no small part an attempt to soothe the president's bruised ego — but could nonetheless do real damage to the American publicâs faith in elections. And the upper echelons of the Republican Party and the right-wing propaganda apparatus are continuing to support him as he takes a hammer to the U.S. democratic system. (...)

Having big sexual appetites is part of the American identity.
Look at the reputation that American women have developed abroad: "Aye! Aye! Sir! Ready to give head on a moment's notice!" That in part stems from young American women fondness for getting staggering drunk with total strangers.
So, we're just going to leave this here untouched?
