If it’s some "culture war" bs, just assume the opposite of what Fox News (or any reactionary outlet) claims

Christ, they have a stick so far up their asses that they have an issue with Levar Burton. Fox News doesn't deserve to exist

They had issues with Mr. Rogers... fox news claimed he was evil...

He's black.

If Trump said the same thing that would spin it as being the best thing anyone's said ever.

People who see color are the real racists.

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

It's more racist to ignore the inequities inherent to the systems created with racism in their core principles.

You can't just ignore the problem by pretending race doesn't exist. That won't fix anything.

This is an ignorant comment, unless I'm just misunderstanding.

Would you like to explain it?

Ah, I usually expect an element of humour when someone is being sarcastic or parodying something.

[–] zbyte64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Well the absurdity of "seeing color makes you racist" made me chuckle anyways

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago

They never did.

Their viewers want to be outraged, not informed. That sums up basically most issues with Fox news.

Let's not sugar coat it, everyone wants to be outraged. Fox news simply focuses on a particular genre of conservative outrage, which may or may not be more deceitful in general, but certainly promotes very specific and nonspecific hateful beliefs.

HOLD UP. ARE you telling ME that FOX NEWS purposefully manipulates headlines and news bits to suit a specific socio-political agenda and has been for decades?

Isn't it interesting that conservatives couldn't give two shits about women's sports unless a transgender woman is competing? They sure didn't care about women's sports when they were cheering the US Women's Soccer Team's World Cup defeat.

Apparently transgender women competing against cis women in sports makes the sports they don't like unfair.

Also, I never hear anything from them about transgender men competing in sports. Curious.

Trans woman: "I've been through lots of hardship where people are openly hostile toward me, even threatening my life. I've gone through difficult transition therapies and am even considering surgery. Everyday is difficult because of the social stigma around being a trans person but I persist because this is who I am and accepting that has benefited my mental health."

Fox news: "No, you just want to be good at sports which is unfair."

Not to mention that when it comes to sports all genetics are a crap shoot. Should the woman who was born with natural muscle mass, height advantage, proper bone structure, and high testosterone levels be barred from competing?

What's the point of this post? Outside of slightly worsening everyone's day, that is?

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Faux "news"

And I thought Brazil's news reliability was bad...
