Trump breaks friendship with FOX News, now OANN is his best friend
- Thread starter .Detective.
- Start date
It's literal propaganda.
Like, I know people say Fox News is propaganda, but OAN makes Fox News look like the epitome of Pulitzer-caliber reporting and journalistic integrity.
OP

I need a meme of that image where the dude looks thirstily at the lady walking by, while the one he is with looks outraged.
Holy duck thats baaaad I never even knew OAN was a thing till now and it looks like a more legitimate version of info wars. How the he'll did this thing exist its insanity.

Well, do tell why its hard to comprehend, I will definitely try to explain my stance.
Conservatism has been largely relegated for a long time( before Trump came) to an age group above 45 and non-educated White Men. Fox News was the only channel which had a conservative view point out there ( Remember the news section and opinion section is different).
Now you have a lot of young conservatives thanks to Trump, in a good or bad way, who are reaching younger age groups ( Fox Nation was aimed at this). Breitbart, OANN gained momentum. Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Candace Owens etc. who are reaching this using social media platforms which has been DOMINATED by Liberal viewpoints ( Take Late night hosts who do 10 minute monologues about Orange man bad which was very rare before Trump) etc.
Just saying, there needs to be some competition from a conservative media channel to show what conservative view points.
FYI, I am not a fan of OANN, Trump or Breitbart ( Although I do like many view points of Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon)
Thats absolutely not true. Remember no matter how bad things are, journalists are NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE STORY, they should report both sides of the story, case in point, BBC News.
Chris Wallace, Bill Hemmer, Bret Baier, Martha McCallum, Howard Kurtz , Weekend News hosts etc. are all news hosts ( yes, they are conservatives) and are NOT the same as opinion anchors like Hannity, Carlson and Ingraham.
Hard for me to laugh about OANN. We are living in a country molded by years of Fox News. And a lot of us sat around laughing at them the whole time they infected society. And now something new has come along that seems to find Fox News too tame, and our dumb fuck President is in fucking love with them. This shit is bad.
How the fuck have you survived two years on this board?
Hannity and Tucker Carlson aren't on 24 hours a day to lick his scrote
Not for a second. If Trump just told his supporters to never watch Fox News again because Fox were all liberals who betrayed America, you'd probably see their channel vanish into dust within a month lol
Well, that's an...interesting perspective.. Thanks for the feedback, I suppose.
FYI: You're going to find discussions here extremely difficult.
They aren't supposed to report both sides. They're supposed to report the facts and any context needed to understand the facts.
lol, my first entry into the etcetera section and my god its so hostile, its hard to have a discussion.
No one even wants to listen, I am not defending OANN or something, just saying there is a reason why Trump wants to promote OANN over Fox, because Fox News section can at times be critical which he doesn't like.
Not trying to give you shit man, but when you bring up Fucker Carlson people tend to react... negatively.
That is not happening is what I'm saying.
I've resorted to watching C-Span and PBS/CBS (The bias shows even here even though they are federally funded.)
You've been here for two years and you're blown away by any hostile reaction? Have you spent all of your time in extremely specific gaming threads?
Before you guys start reading too much into this; Trump's posted tweets like this half a dozen times already throughout his presidency. Whenever something appears on Fox that's not sufficiently fawning of him, he shits on them and touts OANN as the girl who WILL swallow after giving him head. He's not gonna stop watching Fox. This is like Tuesday for him. He knows it and so does Fox.
I'm interested in what specific opinions of bannon and Carlson you like?
I like SOME of their view points.
Case in point, over reliance on Chinese supply chain during the time of need is something Steve Bannon has strongly advertised against which in the current moment is something worth discussing.
Tucker Carlson, he has questioned the reliance on Wall Street by Politicians in terms of lobbying etc. He is one of those people who doesn't say Capitalism is god unlike a lot of conservatives who even balk when someone questions it, I think thats why Bernie was quite popular.
OP

I am always grateful that Fox "news programs" are banned where I live. FOX only airs it's TV dramas here.
Watched this the other day, when Fox News dies, OAN will rise from the ashes.
So like the mainstream media. It's incredibly frustrating because one side uses verifiable facts and the other uses misdirection, obfuscation, and lies.
They are all opinion. It's just the night hosts are so batshit it makes the "real" anchors seem fair.
Are those enough to overlook their white supremacy?
tucker Carlson is the lapdog of Rupert Murdock.
you are getting played so much and it isn't even funny.
Actually yes :)
Curious, where do you get your news from?

this is where I'm at. Plenty of other talking heads to listen to. Liking SOME of the views of a couple of nazis is a no go and weak.
"A bit too extreme, even more than MSNBC"
MSNBC is an actual news service. Breitbart et al are full on hate-mongers that flat out lie.
In what way does the "Main Stream Media" not even pretend fairness anymore? Why does having one conservative network dedicated to spreading misinformation and manufacturing hate balance out a bunch of networks that follow journalistic principles? That's a counterweight against accuracy, not ideology.
It is incredibly bad.
I shared the Atlantic article from today from Tom Nichols, a former Republican, who talked about how watching Donald Trump spew his garbage for the daily coronavirus press briefings was bad and making those who watch them into worse people. I contextualized this article by talking about how this is one of the critical dangers of elevating a person with the pathological psychology, that the more people are exposed to these kinds of psychologies, the worse it is for their well-being.
A kool-aid drinker came along and commented saying they 'loved me', but that I should 'find some new hobbies because this is making me insane'. The projection and gaslighting was not surprising, but still infuriating. And this kind of action is common for all of these people due to being mutated by him and the GOP propaganda apparatuses. Clearly, the person was/is triggered by my continual speaking truth to power about the nature of what's happening to the country, but this anecdotal experience of mine speaks to the danger of all of this.
To give some context, I am from GERMANY but am curious about US politics which is why I follow it, I have no bone in the game.
Just watch all channels and try to make my own opinion on things, just trying to see things from both sides which it seems is hard here.
OK. Just so you know, Fox News is entirely propaganda. Again, mainstream news is constantly showing both sides to its detriment. Lies should not hold the same weight as facts.
Its beyond what you could imagine... yet exactly what you are picturing right now.
If you're serious, then you're being disingenuous as hell. The political slant of Fox News is nowhere near comparable to the networks you mentioned (you've clearly never actually listened to NPR before). MSNBC is probably the most left leaning, and yet they're still not even close to Fox News. And that's not even getting into how much fucking misinformation goes on at Fox News. CNN is the only one close in that department.
On a side note, Fox News IS mainstream media! Their ratings blow away the competition, so enough with this "they're just the little conservative guys going up against the big, scary bully news networks" narrative.
