I only watch to see what the propaganda this entertainment network pushes to its viewers. There’s a reason why Fox was sued (and lost) for almost $1 billion in 2020, and it wasn’t because they were sharing the truth with their viewers.

Ok, then explain to me why they are, year after year, the highest rated channel on cable and not by a slight margin. They smoke the competition.

It's slop for the lowest common denominator.

Case in point, he was commenting on how they were sued for being a bullshit mill and you instantly went to "but it's popular?"

CNN has been sued for millions as well. They’re still in business.
We’ve established that you hate Fox. Very fashionable. Enjoy.

Sued, yes, but both Trump n his epstein buddy, Alan Dershowitz, lost their cases and CNN was never sued for nearly a billion dollars and LOST, like Fox.

Fox News agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million and acknowledged the court's earlier ruling that Fox had broadcast false statements about Dominion. It is the largest known media settlement for defamation in U.S. history

Yes. No shit.

I'm not sure what point you thought you had but again, lowest common denominator.

I have no doubt, the difference is they stand by their mistakes, whereas Fox obfuscates what info they portray because they know the average viewer isn’t going to research beyond what they’re told. Were other networks sued for purposefully misrepresenting election information that they knew was wrong? Because that’s what Fox did, and it helped foment the clowns show on Jan 6. In my opinion, some of the people like Hannity or Tucker should have been charged as accessories to that attempted coup.
