Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, and other TV purveyors of fake news

I guess I don't know what about the definition change they are complaining about?

Because they don’t want to be classified as anti-vax, they want to be classified as against vax regulations. But not anti-vax.

But Mark Thiessen and Dana Perino are public health experts so you should listen to them!

They can't stop. If Faux news stopped all the fake outrage, their viewers would go into complete shock and would be looking elsewhere to get their fix. The whole reason Fox had to go down the larger rabbit hole was because they were losing viewers to OANN due to the fact that OANN was more extreme. So, Fox had to become more extreme than they already were just to keep their viewers.

[northland10]

yep.

A long-time friend of my husband, who used to watch faux noise all the time, now only watches Newsmax now. Faux noise spews only lies now.

[notorial dissent]

Pur bubbies. They are running out of things to be outraged about. What they don't seem to get is that the Dictionaries, Webster et al, do when they add a word is used whatever the current majority meaning of the word out in the real world, not what some tinfoil hatted minor minority wants it to mean, and that is what they have done, modified it to fit what the majority interpretation is..

Projection again.

THEY would publish whatever definition they pulled out of their ass, they figure everyone else would do the same.

OANN gets the boot from DirecTV.

DirecTV says it will not enter a new contract with OANN

DirecTV and One America News Network are parting ways, the satellite television company confirmed to CBS News on Friday.

"We informed Herring Networks that, following a routine internal review, we do not plan to enter into a new contract when our current agreement expires," a DirecTV spokesperson said in a statement. Bloomberg News first reported the decision.

However, the spokesperson noted that the television company will continue to carry the the pro-Trump network's programming through their existing agreement. OANN will still be available on Verizon FIOS and a few other smaller distributors, according to the company's website.

BREAKING: OAN is being dropped by DirecTV, majority owned by AT&T.

This is huge news. 90% of OAN's revenue may disappear overnight. An OAN lawyer once told a court that if DirecTV dropped them, OAN "would go out of business tomorrow."

I guess they're about to find out.

I never realized that DirecTV had the power over my electricity, heat, and water. Who knew?

Like all the other whack-a-doodles proclaiming that they've dropped DirecTV, I don't believe a word of it. They'll say it, but they aren't about to go through the hassle of finding another cable provider or streaming service.

"Alternative facts." I have trouble believing these are real screen-caps. Or do I? I've seen them posted by a number of mainstream, normally reliable accounts.

Yesterday OAN host Dan Ball asked viewers to dig up dirt on AT&T's board chairman

"Cheating on his taxes, cheating on his wife, saying racial slurs towards white people, folks do that, whatever it may be, find it for me"

Listening to Fox News to see if they're reporting on the latest Trump news from NY. Crickets so far, but I had to chuckle that there was some *shock, I tell you, shock* over the visitor log jam at the WH and what does or doesn't the public know.

There seems to be some outrage over the new M&M rebranding and why it's important, I can't follow...

[Foggy]

They redesigned the goofy characters in the advertisements I never see to make them "more inclusive".

I like inclusive and Fox News can pound sand.
