Happening Now: Downtown Phoenix Fox News Protest
This morning saw another strong protest in downtown Phoenix in front of the Fox 10 News station and Phoenix PD HQ. (7th Ave and Washington).
Protesters urged everyone to resist the lies and propaganda the Murdoch family pushes through Fox News and its affiliates.
Please remember to stay polite in this post, trolling or being rude to others on this site is not welcome. If you want to debate the effectiveness of protests or the topic of the protests, I highly recommend posting on /r/azpolitics sub.
PS: everyone knows Fox10 is not Fox News, but their parent company is the same.
âAides said he talked about Ivanka Trumpâs breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,â writes Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security
and
When Trump was the star of the reality TV show âThe Apprentice,â he appeared on the ABC talk show âThe Viewâ with his daughter in 2006 and said, âIf Ivanka werenât my daughter, perhaps Iâd be dating her. Isnât that terrible? How terrible? Is that terrible?â
and
In a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone, Trump reportedly celebrated Ivanka Trumpâs âbeautyâ and said, âIf I werenât happily married and, ya know, her father âŚâ
Yes, that is his daughter. He is a creepy ass old man.
Where are the signs for when Hamas slaughtered babies in cribs? FWIW Iâm not arguing that Israel is innocent, only that Palestinian supporters seem to conveniently forget that Hamas is just as violent and is in some ways a bigger threat to Palestinian peace than even Israel
Glad to see people protesting at places besides the capital!
Whether or not you agree if protests are 'useful', I would postulate that bringing attention to an organization or person that is part of the national issue is much more effective and targeted.
Completely unrelated, the Goldwater Institute is in Phoenix and on their own website says they're "spearheading the national campaign to dismantle DEI".
Thankfully, these trolls/bots only show up in the sub for posts like this so Redditâs tools auto remove their nonsense without anyone seeing it. Thoughts and tariffs!
Fox has affiliates throughout the country. We have a local Fox News affiliate here in Vegas and they are a very good news station. They do a lot of local news and support local causes. The San Francisco Bay Area has a Fox affiliate in KTVU where the 10 Oâclock News is actually one of the best news stations around. They arenât MAGA at all.
FOX 10 local news shares most of the same viewpoints as Fox News, and is the one FOX owned-and-operated station which is most upfront about it. Its news director has been there for nearly 30 years.
I love it. But. Protest organizers need to start having a SPECIFIC goal; a SPECIFIC ask or objective. This is what makes protests most effective, historically speaking
Disagree. Resistance to fascist bigots is welcome in any way shape or form.
Go watch the Nixon documentary âTricky Dickâ. He repeatedly told me everyone publicly that protesters were wasting time and wouldnât change anything. Privately, in his recordings that he made in the White House, he railed against the protestors and they had a huge impact on his decisions.
Trump is a narcissist. He desires everyoneâs love and attention. He canât tolerate resistance. So we resist.
Actually agree. Can't tell how many times I have seen a protest and you have some people holding up, resist the lies signs, stop deportation signs, right next to "my body my choice" signs. There is no clear message, its just all over the place.
Haha. Should be a Network News protest. MSNBC ain't no better than Fox. They just cater to different sheep. All network news is trash. BBC the closest you gonna get to non-bias.
All media is biased. Not all media lies so consistently. You can pretend all you want that there's an equivalency, and I'm sure you can even find a few obscure links or sporadic examples that enable you to validate that false belief
Saw a bunch of people on all four corners of 35th and Glendale Ave as well. Thought for sure they were Trump simps when I saw the west side American flags, was happy to see otherwise
Isn't this subreddit about the Phoenix area? Can we have free discussion here or is it not allowed? I'm currently out of state so this is kind of how I stay in the loop of what's going on in the Valley. Are the people being censored only just being nasty and troll like? Or are people being censored or having a differing opinion? Also why is the protest happening in Phoenix isn't Fox News stationed in New York? There's a local Fox affiliate in Phoenix of course but they aren't fox news.

I hope you are somewhere less hot :)
Are the people being censored only just being nasty and troll like?
Yes, we remove comments when people choose to be uncivil, including trolling. Additionally, when posts are labeled "Politics" we utilize Reddit's automod to automatically remove comments from people who have never posted in this subreddit before. Unsurprisingly, 90% of the removed comments in this post are people who have never visited the subreddit before. The vast majority of these comments also violate the civility rule, so this tool has been amazing to assist keeping things polite.
Or are people being censored or having a differing opinion?
A previous Mod wrote this years ago, and we still are in full agreement today:
Someone's political opinions don't disqualify them for inclusion here. How they project those opinions does. It's entirely possible to have a civil conversation about controversial topics without resorting to attacks or slights. When someone's post history shows a tendency to write deliberately inflammatory responses, whether sincere or just trolling, most mods will err on the side of caution and choose not to deal with the issue. Simply put, people get banned here for being dicks, not for having a different opinion.
I hope that helps!
Also why is the protest happening in Phoenix isn't Fox News stationed in New York? There's a local Fox affiliate in Phoenix of course but they aren't fox news.
Well the simple answer is... we are in Phoenix, not New York. Additionally, while yes it is a local Fox affiliate, its 100% owned by Fox News / Murdoch family. While from a IRS perspective sure I bet they are separate, but they are the same company.
He wasnât President yet so we didnât have to protest. The people you see here are not the ones who skipped voting. We were the ones paying attention. Too many people staying home got us into this mess, not the people resisting.
Bravo Arizona! Thrilled to see all these posters and positive signs of continued progress with the movement to RESiST the current administration. Keep up the great work & protesting (while we still are able)
Be nice. You don't have to agree with everyone, but by choosing not to be rude you increase the overall civility of the community and make it better for all of us.
Personal attacks, harassment, any comments of perceived intolerance/hate are not welcome here. Please see Redditâs content policy and treat this subreddit as "a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people.â
