    Lol, okay. A lot of people watch them and listen to what they say therefore they’re news. That’s the logic on politics unfiltered. Sure seems like there’s a lot of filters around here.

      So even though Wikipedia decided they are news, other news orgs consider them news, and practically half of the country considers them news, YOU are the one who’s right when you say they’re not news!?

      Is that what you are trying to get me to believe?

        Not me, they’re the ones that say they’re not news. So here’s the question you have to ask yourself if half the people listen to their opinions and their opinion is they’re not news does that mean half the country thinks they’re not news?

          So if Fox News isn’t really a news organization, where’s the lawsuit to shut them down for falsely advertising themselves?

          The fact is, the Democrats—and every other critic—know they can’t legally do that, because even tabloids and entertainment shows have the right to report on real events.

          Court statements like “no rational person would reasonably believe…” are legal jargon used to dodge liability in lawsuits—it doesn’t suddenly strip them of being a news organization.

          If the content’s purely entertainment, then let’s see someone challenge their status. Until that happens, it’s all noise without substance.

          Yet, they still call themselves “Fox News” so they are not saying they are not news.

          And to your question, I totally think that half the country thinks they are not news! And almost all of Lemmy agrees! lmao
