[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone upthread said “the stock market correction.” Bingo. The next time major news outlets are reporting that the stock market is down 10% from a year ago, or something similar and using objective data like that, take screenshots of the first 3 pages of the Fox News website, then the same with NY Times, Al Jazeera, CNN, etc.

Because I did, and at the same time the other major news sites were reporting on this “correction” and hypothesizing it was because of erratic tariff application and withdrawal, Fox was filled with stories instead about Trans people trying to use a bathroom, or making fun of AOC, or something similar. I don’t know how far you would have to scroll down on the Fox site to see the loss huge decrease in stock market value, but it wasn’t there in the first three pages.[/quote]

This. [/quote]

This absolutely. OP you can easily do it yourself by checking Fox and other outlet. Recent example: yesterday i opened WSJ.com and first bug news was Musk about to be briefed at the Pentagon on the US’ secret plans on fighting China in a war. Checked CNN.com and nytimes.com and if i remember theguardian.com and the news was there prominently. Checked foxnews.com and could not see it anywhere. That was a pretty big news but fox readers could keep themselves occupied wiht the latest bad photo of AOC or the female teacher in montana accused of molesting a kid[/quote]

They covered that pretty extensively.  That is how I found out about the fake news.

That's not news, it's an opinion piece that puts all focus on the left's reaction as opposed to putting any attention on the actual story.

And by the way, whenever  Trump calls something "fake news," history has shown us that more often than not it means it's TRUE news that Trump just didn't want getting out.  [/quote]

Translation:  I was wrong that Fox didn't cover the story so I will divert to insults and ignore the fact that every official has denied a story that was thinly sourced by "anonymous" sources.  [/quote]

It wasn’t covered by them. They just criticized the other sources coverage when it became too big to ignore. [/quote]

Which is typical. They did cover the 10 year old in Ohio who had to travel across state lines for an abortion, but they dragged their feet until it became too big to ignore while it had been the top story for many hours. And often enough, they will bury such headlining stories far down their webpage or ona  subsection.

Also, the immediate take on the right was that it was because of illegal immigration allowing criminals in. A balanced take would have looked at the publicly available (at the time) Ohio data on the number of very young pregnancies in the state. You cannot make the claim that it is only immigrants causing young pregnancies for what was at least 300 / year for a similar age range when I pulled the data from the Ohio public health website at the time. Sure, just pretend that US citizens never ever rape young girls and cause them to get pregnant so no 10 year old will ever have to travel out of state for abortion if immigration is solved. Such willful ignorance. [/quote]
