Anyone working at Fox News who thinks they're involved in reputable journalism clearly doesn't have the objectivity needed for proper reporting.
Didn't they say, "we're entertainment, not news" ?
Tucker Carlson defending himself, he claimed a playboy model tried to extort trump.
Fox's legal team argued that his comments couldn't reasonably be considered factual, and that any viewer should be skeptical about what he says.
That was on his show though, not the news program.
Its a good thing fox news cultivates a viewership not made of reasonable people.
Imo, there should be a law in defamation cases like this where a network's viewers could be polled to see if they actually believe these things and show its malicious on those grounds.
Corporations should be punished for cultivating dumb audiences and lying to them. Cities should be able to sue news companies if they, for instance, impart the impression crime rates have gone up instead of down.
The pure distillation of useful idiot
especially creeps like jesse watters, and working for a ghoul like rupert and son.
I'm sure they have plenty of employees we don't see who aren't journalists.
In addition to the people we DO see who also aren't journalists.
