Are we still acting like Fox News is not the same?

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)
  1. Fox News isn't state owned
  2. Fox News has argued in court its entertainment, you're a sucker for believing their crap, and they've won

That said, yeah its quite the hypocrisy.

State owned is not worse than private owned, when the private owned company have obvious political agendas.

Especially in democracies.

They're just better at hiding it.

Well, yeah! It was settled in court that they're strictly an entertainment company. It's the most-watched cable entertainment station that just likes to riff on the news ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, they are. They're not the ones getting banned, because they maintain an air of plausible deniability.

Not saying they don't deserve to be banned, but they're not overt Russian propaganda—simply the regular, alt-right Conservative kind, and apparently Facebook is totally fine with that.
