Current Events > Fox and Friends is straight up propaganda

(+) Yeah! (+)

I had the unfortunate experience of having to endure an episode of it in the physician's lounge this morning.

It's not even biased. Bias is at least stating facts with spin. I can tolerate bias.

The shit they have on F&F is straight out of totalitarian regime playbooks. It's utterly insane. They were talking about Trump and the Mar a Lago raid, and for thirty minutes there was NOT ONE MENTION of the documents. It was literally 30 straight minutes of how Democrats have always hated Trump because he's some kind of centrist populist with great policies and oh my gosh he's so great and Obama was worse and blah blah blah

It was legit insane. I don't know any other way to describe it. They didn't even dance around tough issues - they just pretended they didn't exist at all. MAL was raided because Liberals hate Trump. Let's go live to JARED FUCKING KUSHNER for more information (seriously).

No wonder conservatives are so batshit delusional - if this is the kind of shit they watch, most of them DON'T EVEN KNOW SHIT. And I don't mean in an "oh they're ignorant" kind of way - I mean their sources of information DON'T EVEN FUCKING REPORT IT. How the hell is this even allowed? How can we have a functioning democracy when one side has such a hermetically sealed misinformation echo chamber completely divorced from reality?

You shouldn't treat an ex-president like that*

*unless he's keeping state nuclear secrets in his safe (this part not mentioned on Fox)

Ouch. Sorry your sibling married such a POS.

I literally had a discussion a few days ago where a guy said something to the effect of "yeah it was a politically motivated hit job"

And I respond with "you know they found top-level classified intel, some related to nuclear weapons, right?"

And his only response was "yeah that's what they want you to think"

Bitch this is the fucking FBI not a goddamn National Treasure rerun.

Facts, but Republicans clearly don't care about those except when they stand to benefit from them.

Jfc I really feel bad for people who think they need to put up with that bullshit from their spouse. If any partner of mine did that I'd look into removing them from my life entirely.

To play devil's advocate, their viewership would probably say the same of left-leaning news outlets like MSNBC.

Its also ironic because fox and friends is done nothing but bitch and moan about Democrats so whos in whose head rent free??

It's pretty abhorrent how easily a false narrative can be so easily promoted. But you know what's really abhorrent? That more people aren't eating Magic Spoon. Magic Spoon is a healthy alternative to sugary cereal from your childhood. With the code "FACTCHECK", you can get...

is that a show reallt called "fox and friends"?

that name sounds like a freaking Disney cartoon

I tried telling my mom about the documents (which she didn't even know about), and she kept saying "it's not a big deal, nuclear codes change with each president", and ended up saying she didn't want to talk about it.

I love her to death, but my God...

I love when Republicans say that because if you go "Ok fine. We can arrest Obama and the Clintons along with Trump", they suddenly don't want equal treatment.

"I watched for 30 minutes and all they talked about was inflation and the treasury. They didn't say anything at all about JFK being resurrected by lizardmen to usher in democracy and anoint Donald Trump as the true president of the United States at all! How do liberals even stand this drivel? it's like they're living in a bubble and blind to reality."

What I find particularly frustrating is that everything they think Obama did illegally is just speculative bullshit, yet they think that's somehow on the level with Trump having fucking classified documents in his house.

Eric Holder and the Mexican cartel gun thing was a legit scandal and yet ironically they didn't care because it didn't directly involve Obama.

"CNN won't even mention the 33 million pages of top secret documents Obama keeps in Eggo boxes in his freezer! And they think we're the ones living in a fantasy!"

"Yeah because Obama gave them to the National Archives when he left the White House"

"According to Obama!"

"No, according to the National Archives" (shows link to NA's statement)

"Yeah that's just what they want you to think "

I'm sure some of the old propagandists are kicking themselves in Hell because they didn't think to add "and Friends" to the title of their broadcasts. It just seems so nonthreatening.

"Greetings, Berlin! Up next, it's Hitler and Friends."

It's easy to never be wrong when you refuse to acknowledge being wrong exists.

Not trying to be mean - why did your sister marry this guy? Or rather did she know about his views before marrying him?

This oddly brings up an interesting point. Like if they got Steve Doocy to plug Raid Shadow Legends a bunch of times, it'd probably increase it's sales dramatically. These people are easily led. Something as simple as "Playing Raid Shadow Legends is driving the left nuts" could probably make them a fortune.

Many do, and even some posters here on CE ("CNN is just as bad!!"), the difference is there is objective data to show Fox has a higher number of falsehoods, more speculative/opinion shows, etc

Those are the same people that will see people post nonsense said by GOP Congresspeople and governors and go "I see lefties post shit just as crazy on CE".
