Morning! There is so much to say about the Fox settlement! My first response, and this is important: This should not become an excuse for the rest of the press to backlide into treating Fox as legit news again. salon.com/2023/04/20/fox…
Why to read past headlines to enjoy this 2 minute article: Receipts! Both of the past efforts to normalize Fox and the current media longings to do it again. Analysis! Of why it's so important for Fox to pretend to be a "real" news network. salon.com/2023/04/20/fox…
@AmandaMarcotte Fox did learn one thing: Lying may be worth it.
@AmandaMarcotte ..the billionaire class can’t even feel a $787.5 million slap on the hand..
@AmandaMarcotte "Fox News has learned nothing — the mainstream press can't let them forget." They absolutely can. I bet Chris Cilizza is even now preparing 195 hot takes urging that everyone look forward, not back.
@AmandaMarcotte Good morning, Amanda! Looking forward reading it!
@AmandaMarcotte “Fox News has learned nothing”…. Jesus Christ. Exactly the opposite.
