Fox News appears to have removed their DOW ticker in a pattern for the company, choosing to block out the steep drop in DOW points after Trump’s tariff announcement

    Multiple times, in multiple court cases. Tucker Carlson argued that no regular viewer would consider his content news or factual.

    The fact that they get away with this is infuriating. They should have to put a Surgeon General warning label on the screen like tobacco product have on the package.

    “WARNING: This content is for entertainment purposes only. We acknowledge that most of the content presented is not factual, and most of the opinions are not based on reality. This platform was created explicitly as a right-wing propaganda outlet to spin damaging news stories and prevent another Republican from being impeached after Watergate. Viewing the content and opinions presented will leave you less informed than not viewing any content at all”

        I’ve seen enough 1AM porno commercials in the early 2000s to know that these warnings already exist for some content.

      Throw up that warning with a mandatory font size and duration like a law and order disclaimer on a black screen.

        I’m seeing the King Of The Hill meme right now.

        “Those viewers would be very upset right now if they could read”

        Maybe force some bottle blonde to read it to them. Seems to be the only way to get info past the barrier.

      Thank you! That helps narrow the search. I’m trying to fund him on video saying it, or the court transcript, so when I’m told “fake news” and sent Fox articles I can clarify things effectively.

      I also would love to see them forced to show that warning. Maybe when we have a functional govt admin again.
