    Hey beehaw, can you just use your magic admin toolbox to defederate fox news in real life? Getting tired of their propaganda.

      Do you think, “fuck ‘em, I don’t care,” “they’re disgusting,” or “they’ve gotta be taught a lesson?”

      I often think this way about Fox News, and Health Insurance Companies, and Gab, and kiwifarms

    Is it even legal for news media to misquote someone, especially an elected official?

      I can’t speak to the legality, but it sure sounds like they violated the terms and agreement in place with AP repeatedly. I wonder what recourse AP has and if they could choose to disallow their content entirely on Fox? It seems like most news organizations get a majority of reporting from AP. I can only imagine the detrimental impact to Fox News if that came to pass.

        I mean, it’s not like anyone goes to Fox for real news anyways. I doubt any of their userbase would complain.

      It does sound like it could be defamation again, which they’d probably lose again to in court. They knowingly misquoted information.

      They’re not a “news” organization. They’re corporate media, entertainment. They even lost one of their certifications as a “trusted news source” for blatantly lying and regurgitating internet memes without checking their sources.

      They already got baked by that defamation suit that saw tucker leave, so it wouldn’t be as hard to do it again.
