Fox “News”
Pry back the digital veil
obscuring reality.
Gaslighting.
Pernicious, false rhetoric.
Designed to enrage.
Imaginary conspiracies.
Charlatans,
posing as investigative reporters.
Innuendo replacing facts.
Purveyors of outrage,
spinning
layers of deception,
misinformation,
disinformation and
outright lies,
like straw,
into ratings gold
Insulated from accountability (until recently)
Unmoved, uncaring of the
consequences.
Acknowledging their lies
are
gold.
What the audience wants.
And with enough gold,
you manufacture the truth.

Author's Note
Fox is not the only one that falls into this category but has by far the largest audience. In a rare example of accountability for knowingly spreading lies about Dominion the lies proved costly. Speech is free but lying is expensive.

I hate hate Fox News.
It's sad to say but you can kinda tell what kind of person they are if they think Fox news is actual news.
Bravo, for writing this!!!
I wish it would explode all over social media 😊

Sounds rather like the daily mirror. Just saying. I don't know how it can look itself in the said mirror sometimes, honestly! ;-)

Given the evidence presented in the Dominion trial as long as they make money and “give the audience what they want “ they don’t seem to care about truth, reputation or the view in the mirror.

That's why I don't watch mainstream legacy media. We need to research and think for ourselves!
