Media Defender of the Week
Fox News Inducted Into Hall of Fame for Heroic Commitment to Alternative Accuracy
The Offense
The Failing Fake News Media is out of control, folks. They are always attacking, always complaining, and very unfair to your favorite President, who has once again been forced to personally identify which media outlets are telling the truth by saying the things he likes.
One network has risen above the pack. Fox News has shown America that journalism can still work, provided the journalism is pointed in one direction, aired at dinner time, and legally described later with extreme care by very tired attorneys.
The Truth
The Radical Left says Fox News has bias. Excuse me? Since when is patriotism a bias? Since when is editing reality during the sourcing process not simply a production choice made by very loyal people under tremendous patriotic pressure?
The network’s record shows a repeated willingness to protect viewers from dangerous complications, including legal findings, source documents, video chronology, and the emotional burden of having to know what happened before forming an opinion.
Key Points
- The Dominion misunderstanding: Fox News stood by election claims so firmly that it later agreed to a $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. Paying nearly a billion dollars is exactly what innocent, perfect journalists do when they are done winning.
- The hat incident: The jealous media attacked the President for wearing his beautiful USA cap during a solemn ceremony. Fox News protected the sacred timeline by showing older footage without the hat, then called it a mistake during the video sourcing process.
- Daily truth bombs: While other networks wasted valuable oxygen on boring subjects like public health, Fox News understood that viewers needed thousands of words about “extreme racial ideology,” because the republic always needs another panic button.
- Apologizing to the judge: When Fox lawyers forgot to clarify Rupert Murdoch’s role during the Dominion lawsuit, they submitted a letter to Judge Eric Davis apologizing for the misunderstanding. The courthouse fainted quietly into a filing cabinet.
