Host of Hardball calls out Fox "News" for what they are

This meme needs to spread to all the actual news outlets…




Fox not airing the J6 hearings proves Fox is not news. This should be a clear bright red line for journalists: It's no longer accurate to call Fox a "news outlet" or even a "right-leaning news outlet"

Fox is objectively a Republican media channel—so tell your audience what it is


You could also call Fox a "right-wing media outlet" or "far-right TV channel"

The job of journalists is to call things what they are, not what they claim to be. Fox has now acted at the highest corporate level to suppress major news. It's time to stop calling them a news network

name tag is a joke as Negrin has been at war with Chuck Todd and before that Chris Matthews for ages

So, willingly admitting that you represent yourselves as entertainment, then we should start referring to them as such.

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello, how low
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey

I personally think that someone with those credentials would not write something like the afore mentioned note...
I think someone used his name without his permission.

@amanpour
Fox News doesn’t plan to carry the Jan. 6 Hearings live.

Former Senior Adviser to Obama @danpfeiffer tells me he isn't surprised: "Fox is actually a participant in the story. They are the ones who spread the big lie.. they are not observers, they are participants."
