Went to Foxnews.com this morning to se their tariff coverage and was surprised that they have no front page tariff coverage but also how all-in on right wing red meat stories they are today.

About once a week I go to the Garner Library-they have a quiet room with the NYT , WSJ, N and O, USA today and some locals like the Carolinian
It is kind of a nostalgia half hour.. Quality ain't all that great-but its fun

JFC, Fox once tried to pretend, a little. We’re fully in the Goebbelization of the entire Republican media apparatus.

They've haven't been pretending for a long while, imo, and those news stories are pretty typical of what they place on their website these days. It was always designed (by Roger Ailes & the Murdochs) to be a GOP propaganda machine, but with the rise of Dear Leader they're nothing more than a GOP version of the old Pravda. They're the unofficial official state media of the Trump Administration. The fact that so many Fox talking heads are now serving in his administration should give any true objective "independent thinker" pause about believing anything they see or read on that network, but Republicans of course just lap it up, as it tells them exactly what they want to hear and believe, and not the factual news of the day. It's not a news network, it's a blatantly right-wing opinion and editorial network masquerading as a news network. Or at least they were masquerading, I don't think they're even trying to hide it anymore.

ETA: They did try to pretend back in the 1990s and early 2000s when they first started, with the whole "Fair and Balanced" and "We Report, You Decide" BS. They had "HANNITY and Colmes" with it being laughably lopsided in Hannity's favor, but they did try to pretend to be a real news network for a few years. But even then it was a joke.

"A wide variety of political and ideological perspectives" is the last thing that these people want. The first time CBS News says anything critical of Trump in any way they'll attack them as still being a left-wing news source and demand that they "reign in" the obvious liberal bias of the network. The goal is stop any media criticism of Dear Leader, not provide a "variety" of perspectives. His statement is no more true than the old Fox News slogan "Fair and Balanced."

Will be interested to see what CNBC rebrands into as it is my understanding that none of the networks being spun off from NBCUniversal into Versant will be able to use the Peacock logo or the letters NBC in their names.

CNBC is keeping its name.
