MODERATORS
Multiple Fox News employees expressed concerns about the network’s editorial standards and the conduct of top hosts in an internal survey conducted in the summer and fall of 2020, with one going as far as to wonder if they had sold their “soul to the devil”, according to legal filings.
I'm sorry, were you confused about where you work? It's like complaining about the workplace being "too spooky" while working at Spirit Halloween. Fucking idiots.
'Im concerned this meat grinding facility doesnt support animals rights.'
This Tyson facility is vegan, right?

That's fucking hilarious.
Alright, you win comment of the day for me, that was a great analogy.
Anyone working at Fox News who thinks they're involved in reputable journalism clearly doesn't have the objectivity needed for proper reporting.
Didn't they say, "we're entertainment, not news" ?
Tucker Carlson defending himself, he claimed a playboy model tried to extort trump.
Fox's legal team argued that his comments couldn't reasonably be considered factual, and that any viewer should be skeptical about what he says.
That was on his show though, not the news program.
Its a good thing fox news cultivates a viewership not made of reasonable people.
Imo, there should be a law in defamation cases like this where a network's viewers could be polled to see if they actually believe these things and show its malicious on those grounds.
Corporations should be punished for cultivating dumb audiences and lying to them. Cities should be able to sue news companies if they, for instance, impart the impression crime rates have gone up instead of down.
The pure distillation of useful idiot
especially creeps like jesse watters, and working for a ghoul like rupert and son.
I'm sure they have plenty of employees we don't see who aren't journalists.
In addition to the people we DO see who also aren't journalists.

Golly, you know, I think this fire might be trying to damage my house!
expressed concerns
Concerns? Expressed them? What. The. Fuck. Are you talking about?
Fox News has been a propaganda cha nel for the gop for two decades, it's internationally renowned for its huge quantities of absolute bullshit that it manages to spew all day, every day...
And then you want to voice... Concerns? And you THINK it might intentionally aide trump?
Are you high?
It's bad when people who wilfully and knowingly work for Team Evil, start reporting that things are a little too fucked up for their liking.
Kind of like when everyone went "We're all for exploiting and enslaving people, but for fuck's sake, Columbus."
Which is pretty much what Ferdinand and Isabella did when they removed him from his post as governor of Hispaniola and brought him back to Spain in chains.
Hey, I still firmly believe that the network was somehow connected to the election of George W. Bush. How else do you explain a Bush relative working for the network and the network being the first to call the race hours before any other outlet would call it for Bush.
So I’m far from surprised they would outright aid a President and their party.
I mean - helping republicans to do what they’re doing was always the goal - it’s the founding principle. Anyone who wasn’t aware must have been a child or not born at the time.
It’s never been in doubt.
I was a baby during Watergate, and I know that.
and fox working behind the scenes with the 1/6 insurrection, at least laura ingarham was involved with mark meadows on what to and how to frame the "Riot" if antifa showed up.
Shocker.
That's every mainstream media outlet, not just Fox.
“Are we the baddies?”
Oh is the network literally started to become a propaganda wing of the Republican Party pushing a political bias?
Thanks captain obvious
Every day news USA!
Trying to set up plausible deniability? There's no way these social fabric ripping fuck heads don't know exactly what they are doing.
I would call the decisions made in horror movies smart and well thought out ages before I believe this crock of absolutely intelligence insulting bullshit.
For real. Thats like working at a gun factory and after years expressing concern thats it might be harmful.
They were a little slow getting there, but its the spirit that counts!
I refuse to count the spirit!!!
Yeah really. That ship has sailed and sunk.
