Politics Happening Now: Downtown Phoenix Fox News Protest

Post image

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.

How many millions of dollars did those stations spend settling lawsuits due to their lies?

Make a post on /r/azpolitics if you want to discuss more!

Are you truly arguing Apples to Apples or apples to oranges? Because I don't see any of them that had any part of any elections whatsoever. And wasn't it part of the election results that was in question and that's what their issue was and why they were sued? I really don't think that these two situations are the same but you are more than welcome to do the work and post the information and see how many non-maga people are actually interested in it.

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

All CABLE media is biased. Local news is much fairer in its coverage. Most local stations are not owned by the channel they are on.

Often times still a lot of bias favorable to the politics of their locality/audience, but yeah that's fair. But even then, local news stations primarily focuses much more on local news

Something to remember about local news is that it's full of reporters/anchors/photographers/desk managers who are your neighbors. Their problems are your problems.

Cable news employs people who probably have never heard of Apache Junction, or Casa Grande, or Cordes Junction, etc. Cable News can't relate to you and me. Local news folks are just trying to tell both sides fairly.

Sorry but I don't follow how any of that is inconsistent with what I'd written. Up until the last sentence which has nothing to do with the rest, and still fits in with saying that they have the biases which are commonly held in their locality.

Also, don't forget that all those roles you mention can have the best of intentions (even with biases) but the biggest impact is often the people who decide what to cover and how much.

Bro on the opposite end of the spectrum CNN / MSNBC were gas lighting the hell out of everyone. It’s like the pandemic didn’t happen to you guys lol. Even when they knew the information was false they still kept pushing it.

u/DonkeyDoug28 May 12 '25

Can you help me understand what you're referring to? What did CNN or msnbc say about the pandemic not happening, or pushing fake info?

None of what you said refutes my point either way, as far as I can tell. But still don't even know what you're getting at

I mean just the basics.

Claiming ivermectin is dangerous when it’s indeed one of the safest drugs for humans to take. The created even won the Nobel prize for it.

Regardless of personally beliefs putting a yellow filter on joe rogans image to make him look sick was hilarious

Saying the vaccine was the only safe treatment of Covid when all of the data showed antibodies were just as an effective treatment.

They basically ran lock step with the administration and fauci. Propaganda at its finest, I’m just commenting merely on the hypocrisy to say Fox News is propaganda while cnn/msnbc are some holier than though news sources. It’s all propaganda. We haven’t had a balanced news source in over a decade
