I have a lot of Republican friends very upset with Fox news the past ten days. I saw some people saying Fox was bought by liberals, not true as far as I can tell, it looks to still be owned by Murdoch.
I watched Tucker Carlson a week ago and he was a right wing nut, but parts of Fox News does seem to have had an epiphany that American Democracy and honoring the people’s right to vote and be counted is more important than ratings. Also, various people on Fox seem to think preventing the spread of covid is important.
Maybe since QAnon is now banned from facebook and there is no denying they are a cult organization that our FBI has serious concerns about, maybe just maybe they don’t want to be a party to the messaging being done by Q and other alt-right messaging. They will still tout their Republican twist I think, but just maybe not be off the deep end into risking severely hurting the country.
I wonder if the federal government has put pressure on these companies possibly, or their legal teams have been cautioning them. QAnon is supposedly listed as a domestic terrorist organization, in my opinion it is treason what these people are doing. Repeating their messaging is being a party to it. It is one thing when the average (ignorant) person repeats ridiculousness, but educated journalists (or posing to be journalists) will not be able to claim ignorance, they are held to a different standard.
@elbanditoroso I think they are losing viewership at least temporarily. We should check. Maybe some sponsors are leaving them and that caused the change?
