Fox Entertainment has been controversial for a long time. Sometimes leading viewers to violence because of the propaganda and fear mongering. By labeling themselves as entertainment they’ve been able to shirk any responsibility of their hosts words even though it’s obvious that viewers ignore or don’t understand this distinction. However, with the current COVID-19 pandemic they’ve directly endangered the lives of their viewership and those around them by influencing those who believe the networks first and continued statements on it. They’ve spread misinformation, conspiracy theories, had reality tv “doctors” on who make up numbers, called COVID-19 a hoax, and have overall encouraged people not to take this seriously or get vaccinated when they are able, all while requiring those employed by them to be vaccinated. At the very least Fox should be required to air disclaimers throughout broadcasts stating that their “fair and balanced news” or “opinion segments” are for entertainment purposes only and should not be considered actual news by viewers as many of them take the networks statements seriously. However, they’ve not taken that step and their continued propping up of willful ignorance and propaganda has become dangerous to the general public as it has now played a roll in the deaths of thousands of Americans. Add to that the continued support of insurrectionists attempting to overthrow our country’s democratic process as well as currently acting as Putin’s mouthpiece and empowering him to continue the atrocities he is committing in Ukraine. We’ve had enough and will no longer allow this to continue. It’s time for Fox “news” to shut down and apologize to the citizens of this country for the damage done to our democracy and lives lost thanks to them.
