Ts and the autonomous zone. Do you trust Fox News?
Vote
Fox News published digitally altered and misleading images on its website's homepage Friday that made a demonstration in Seattle, in which a group of largely peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters have occupied six city blocks, appear violent and dangerous. The narrative that took hold this week in right-wing circles was one in which armed members of Antifa seized a section of Seattle. City officials have said they have not interacted with members of Antifa, a network of loosely affiliated groups that have a history of violently clashing with right-wing organizations. Among the photos that Fox News published on its homepage was one that showed a protester running past a burning vehicle and building with the headline "CRAZY TOWN" blaring across the website. The image, which accompanied a story about the situation in Seattle, was in fact taken from the unrest last month in Minnesota. A spokesperson for Fox News pointed CNN on Saturday morning to an editor's note that was appended to stories the network published with the misleading images. "We have replaced our photo illustration with the clearly delineated images of a gunman and a shattered storefront, both of which were taken this week in Seattle's autonomous zone," a Fox News spokesperson told the newspaper.

And with that, I do believe, the government should remove FOX from the air until they receive a complete management shakeup from top to bottom.

You could try suing Fox for libel, which is illegal, but libel is incredibly difficult to prove in court. All Fox really has to say is "We were not made aware that the photos were received were doctored." Then the case gets thrown out because you can't prove someone didn't know something. You have to prove they knew, and that can be incredibly hard to the standards of a US Court. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks ... Copied to Clipboard!

Remember when The Onion said Fox News was no longer legally considered actual news, and people believed it?

my dad is totally stupid regarding this story. my sister lives in Seattle. and she literally said that these people are peaceful and just going around planting flowers and holding signs and helping out their neighbors and shit like that. and they aren't from out of town. there is a myth that it was people out of town who basically took over a neighborhood and kicked out the people who live there. the people doing this ARE the people who live there
anyway my dad is acting like my sister is misinformed about her own city and is believing Fox over her. it just makes me want to facepalm ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ive been wondering for a while what we can do about the amount of power news media has to mislead the public. Because we sure as hell cant trust the average person to think critically. They eat this shit right up, like pigs at a trough.
At a certain point, there isnt much difference between a state controlled media and independent news organizations with this much power when they push political agendas. Even NPR is guilty. This is more heinous than most, but its everywhere. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

There needs to be a law put into place that allows us to take them to task over it.
For example a law that requires them to acknowledge that they understand a complaint is legitimate and that they have committed a mistake. Then, the amount of time that goes on before they correct that mistake, or the refusal to acknowledge their mistake all together, will each open up the punishment possibilities. Otherwise we're making the statement that corporations are individual people and deserve the same rights as individual people. This simply isn't the case and should not be the case. --- The wailing of men, and the roars of women, The squirting of bone, and the strength of skin can be all be heard in wars. ...
