Did you watch FoxNews? Do you still watch FoxNews even though they've publically admitted in court that no reasonable person would believe anything they see or hear on the network, and their internal documents show all the executives and on-air personalities knew Trump was lying about the election but, for rating's sake, to keep their loyal viewers watching, they continued to push the lies? Do you buy Murdoch's claim that it is okay for FoxNews to lie about everything and anything because they are an entertainment network, not a news network, and that its on-air personalities are actors, not journalists? And, if you still watch FoxNews, please don't bother with all the Whataboutisms regarding CNN and the other networks. This isn't about them. If you want to complain about them, start your own discussion. This is about the blatant lies and misinformation broadcast and written on and in Rupert Murdoch's media outlets for the sake of profit and the employees at Fox and the other venues that willingly went along with it despite the harm it was doing to the country. What I'm curious about is why, if you still watch Fox, knowing they are willfully lying to you about nearly everything, and openly acknowledge that no reasonable person would believe anything they broadcast, do you still watch?

Do you watch any news channels or, like me, have you given up on them and seek your news in other ways?

@wolfgirl569 Local stations tend to report the news rather than spin it as the bigs do.

We used to get Fox News here, but they pulled out of the UK, from what I heard the regulator was getting ready to put an end to their style of 'news'. Now we have a home grown channel, called GBNews, which seems to be using a similar model

Right-wing radio here in the US built an audience by selling racism, hate, anger, envy, fear, lies, and conspiracy theories. This eventually worked its way into right-wing politics, and now there may be no going back.

@Ronrybs A lot of them are doing exactly that and getting rich off the paranoia of fools.

@DWDavis From what I've been seeing most of them seem to have a big side business in flogging 'prepper' rat packs and equipment. Doubtless at inflated prices!

I don't either. I peruse a wide variety of sources and compare them to one another until I dig out what's really going on.

Once, journalists could be relied on to be impartial. That's certainly not the case anymore.

I've never watched it. That is all my mother has on at her house and she has become brainwashed by MAGA lies and gaslighting. I find it HILARIOUS that FOX News uses the defense that they are "entertainment" and that no reasonable person would believe the things said on their shows when they are involved in lawsuits.

When they hired hate peddler Sean Hannity and disgraced judge Jeanine Pirro and made Tucker Carlson their prime-time lead, I thought people would realize they were full of crap and not to be taken seriously.

Fake news has been around for sometime. I do not know what or who to believe any more.
