Fox News is not news. Say it with me.

Even by the standards of a television network that constantly pushes disinformation and conspiracy theories, there is something appalling and momentous about Tucker Carlson this week launching a series explicitly designed to erase the real history of the January 6 insurrection and incite more right-wing violence.

So although it’s been a long time coming, starting this week members of the journalistic profession — individually and collectively — have no excuse anymore: They must publicly and urgently distance themselves from a so-called “news” network that is in fact the opposite of news.

Fox “News” is a right-wing propaganda operation wrapped inside an entertainment channel. It does not adhere to the professional standards of journalism. And every moment is it allowed to operate under the guise of “news” gives it more credibility than it deserves as it chips away at our democracy.

The old excuses – that Fox does employ some “real” journalists, that taking a stand against Fox wouldn’t be politically neutral, that journalists should be “at work, not at war” – simply don’t hold up anymore.

1. Fox needs to add a laugh track..

After everything Hannity, ingraham, and Carlson says.
In this way, the Fox network wouldn’t come off as being deliberately and directly, trying to cause an upheaval of our democracy.

2. I don't think they ever were news.

Or intended to be.
