    Title is a little clickbaity seeing as this is specific to a local Philadelphia station. Would be nice if this was true though. There are really no consequences at all for making shit up.

      They literally won a court case about being able to lie as a news organization, they made that possible so don’t hold you breath

      We’ve unfortunately decided as a society to leave consequences to the state. The state is by and for capitalists only (i.e. capital owners, not you). When Fox is a threat to capitalist’s money and power, they’ll see real consequences, until then, probably not.

    We should require PSAs at the end of all TikTok/Instagram/Youtube social media videos like they had at the end of cartoons when I was a whee PĒB.

    When George W Bush stole the election in 2000 with the Brooks Brothers Riot I knew the conservatives days were numbered.

      And the people who don’t change the channel, believe the lies, and attack others because of it? The people who are emboldened in their racism because of Fox and those they support? The people who have an inaccurate world view because they believe the lies passed off as “entertainment” and opinion, but are called news? Tucker Carlson argued and won with the argument that no reasonable person would believe a thing he said and yet, he was one of their most popular segments. You really think we can just bury our heads in the sand with something like that?

      By their own admission, they are entertainment not press. They are the television equivalent of screaming fire in a crowded theater.
