    Hell, they did in the past when FOX News was banned back in 2009. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_controversies#Obama_administration_conflict_with_Fox_News

      They relatively recent consider themselves not as news, but entertainment

        Only relatively.

        Sadly, it is not just Fox News that has made the claim that their shows are not news. In the same year, Rachel Maddow’s lawyers successfully argued that her program is also not news.

          And they were both telling the unvarnished truth for once. Billionaire-owned media aren’t reliable sources for news.

            Absolutely. It all started with Ted Turner and CNN. He very obviously viewed news as entertainment. Every story, no matter how small, was announced as Breaking News.

          This is a bit of the classic “both sides being the same” argument. The first article you linked even calls it out.

          In the Fox case, Carlson was presenting his own narrative, not even one extrapolating from known facts.

          Maddow was like “hey this journalist is working for Putin and writing for OAN. OAN is Russian propaganda.” When in reality, the journalist in question wrote for Sputnik News, which is affiliated with the Russian government. Granted it is a bit of a stretch to say all of OAN is Russian propaganda.

          Carlson, on the other hand, just completely made up a story about Karen McDougal blackmailing Trump. A completely made up story.

          So yeah, I wouldn’t go saying both sides are the same here.

            There is no “both sides” in for-profit news media. There’s only corporations figuring out which the most profitable demographic for them is.

          Yep, it’s not Fox in general, that was only about Tucker’s show.

        No they don’t. They just say that for legal reasons.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
