Never in the history of television - especially television news - has there been such obvious lying, not by a particular anchor, not by a particular show, but a conspiracy by an entire network to lie and knowingly lie about an issue that affected the public.
This should concern every decent American.
This lying probably happens all the time at Fox but there has only been clear-cut evidence recently of Fox lying to its viewers. Is this just another example of a corporation where the ends justify the means? Is the SCOTUS in on this too with their 2010 Citizens United ruling? Has the goal become to lie and fib to make a profit? Do corporations knowingly lie to serve a larger objective? Or is Fox News a one-off?
Fox News should be treated the way Alex Jones and other disinformation outlets that are known for misconstruing the truth are treated. These disinformation outlets are destructive, dangerous political operations, and that's the part where we all have to act accordingly - to start treating these disinformation outlets like pariahs.
It seems that Rwing media's goal is to carefully craft a "news story" to manipulate and stroke fear and hatred. Fox's motto, if they are honest should be: "We deceive. You believe."
I suspect that It's not just about money for Fox News. They're also doing it for power. Power that they use and operationalize to drive change, not just in policy, but in our culture, and in our country.
How is the GOP any different from any of these disinformation outlets? The GOP have become a front for a terrorist organization called MAGA with its lies and stroking fear and hatred in their quest for power to control the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches of U.S. Government.
Contrarian, extraordinaire
