    If Fox “News” is ever the only entity reporting on a topic, then that topic is likely untrue.

    Fox “News” has testified multiple times in sworn court testimony that their content is not fact-based and that “no reasonable person could confuse” their content as factual reporting. They testified that their content is for entertainment only.

    We should never, ever look to Fox “News” for news as they are, by their own sworn description, never to be believed.

      That’s why I said to wait for corroboration. Fox would then be the first to report, not the only.

      I think most of us are mature enough to handle unconfirmed reports.

      They also didn’t make that argument about their content, they made it about their opinion personalities. Saying no reasonable person could take Tucker Carlson seriously isn’t the same as saying everything they publish is fiction. Yes, they suck and a world where they didn’t exist would be a better world but, unfortunately, we still live in a world where Fox News occasionally breaks a story.
