Fox News Celebrates 25 Years of Ripping America Apart with Propaganda, Lies, and Racism

Posted by on October 10, 2021 at 7:07 pm. 5 Comments :

In 1996 Rupert Murdoch, an immigrant to the United States via England, via Australia (neither of whom would take him back), joined with a professional Republican propagandist, Roger Ailes (who was later fired due to his serial sexual harassment), to launch a cable “news” network with the express purpose of advancing ultra-rightist policies and promoting neo-fascist politicians.

Fox News, Fake News

Twenty-five years later Fox News continues to sow discord and turn the American people against one another. Most recently Fox News has contributed (along with Donald Trump) to the demise of hundreds of thousands of Americans by dispensing disinformation about the deadly coronavirus. They have fractured democracy by buttressing Trump’s “Big Lie” that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged” and “Stolen” from him. They have defended the domestic terrorism of Trump’s January 6th insurrection. And they have exacerbated racial hatred by promulgating the “white replacement theory”

Notwithstanding that resume of ill-repute, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes at Fox and Friends were anxious to honor their employer with platitudes that bore no resemblance to reality. Co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy embraced a fairy tale worldview when she gushed that…

“Don’t you wish you had a dime for every time someone said to you, ‘what would happen to America if we didn’t have Fox News.’ We’d have no alternative information at all. Think about that. Democracy, essentially, would die. Because you can’t have a democracy like that.”

Really? Campos-Duffy is lauding Fox News for its commitment to “alternative information,” a close cousin to the infamous “alternative facts“ contrived by Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway. And her conclusion that such manufactured falsehoods are required for democracy to continue is downright laughable.

Speaking of laughable, Desi Lydic of the The Daily Show had a much better tribute to what Fox News has contributed to the nation and the world for the past twenty-five years. Her homage includes such gems as…

“Without Fox News I wouldn’t know that Hillary Clinton showered in baby blood or that Planned Parenthood invented Benghazi with George Soros and the Teletubbies at the Venezuelan BET Awards.”

And…

“Fox News, you should be proud of yourself. For the past 25 years you brought half this country together – against the other half.”

Buckle up and enjoy the rest of the fantastical accolades Lydic has compiled for the Fox News anniversary. It’s funny because it’s true.

  1. …‘what would happen to America if we didn’t have Fox News.’…
    Me: Ooh! Let’s find out!

    “…We’d have no alternative information at all.”
    Me: Sadly, that’s no longer true; but we’d have much less of it & that’s a good thing.
    You can have alternative opinions, but “alternative information” & “alternative facts”… All you actually have are LIES!

  2. Fox News is very much domestic enemies of democracy.

    We are in a cold civil war and they are just oppositional propaganda.

  3. 25 years ago, one of this country’s most prominent terrorist organizations was founded solely to destroy democracy and everything this country stands for. And in the last 5 years, they have converted themselves into the Church of the SubMoron — Home of the Seditionists and Tyrant Worshipers.

    On another note, today, the Seditionists and Tyrant Worshipers celebrate the life of America’s first terrorist, first European slave trader, and first European mass murderer. A man who completely misread a map and landed on a continent he refused to believe was NOT Japan (Cipangu) up to his dying breath.

    In other words, they celebrate their patron saint today: a murderer, a terrorist, and a pathological liar.

  4. Fox News was denied a broadcasting license in Canada because they don’t actually cover news.

  5. Ahhh…to live in Canada would be so fine!

    Recipe for “DisasterUS Pie” :
    Mix together: Uber-Greedy, millionaire (R) politicians – “lifers” amassing power & $$$ …+… Idiocracy of minority (R) Party voters (who adore Trump & believe all his & Party’s lies are the real truth)…
    Fold in: Heaping scoops of Rethuglican BS… & whip it all up until stiffened into frothy peaks…
    Serve: Serve promptly…on bed of bigotry; garnish with anger & hate on the side; with a paper cup of “special kool-aid” to wash it all down.
    (A favorite dish to serve at Trump rallies.)
