The CNN journalist, Brianna Keilar used one of the segments of his show to expose Fox News as the “Mother Ship” of democratic decline in the United States.
“We cannot discuss the tsunami of misinformation that endangers the American democracy without mentioning the Mothership, Fox”, said host and journalist Brianna Keilar at Home Front. “I don’t call it News (Fox News), even if they do, because it’s not news.”
Fox News is the news channel with the highest reach in United States and one of the most lucrative businesses on television.
However, has unfolded as a chain of disinformation, including have testified in court in favor of herself disinformation .
Characters like Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, S teve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, Brian Kilmeade and Jeanine Pirro, to name a few ‘hosts’ that have been pointed out by journalists, analysts, deans, authors and sociologists-political scientists for the anti-democratic message that they have carried and increased year after year.
What does Fox News say and what does the evidence say?
Both Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham have been faithful vocalists to the alteration of realities.
On the one hand, Carlson has mentioned on his show that “ of all things it was January 6 (the day of the attack on the Capitol), it was not a violent event.”
However, in a public hearing, the Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray
Fox News has mentioned conspiracy theories such as the intervention of the FBI, ANTIFA and the Democrats as the cause of the insurrection events in the Capitol.
The most watched channel of the United States has wrongly proclaimed that the insurrection, was not an insurrection under the pretext that no one was accused before the court of insurrection, treason or sedition.
To date, the United States Department of Justice has 11 people accused of Conspiracy against the government.
Fox News and its demands
Tucker Carlson has been sued on several occasions and both his lawyers and the Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil reached the following conclusion: “Fox argues that given Mr. Carlson’s reputation, all treasonable evidence arrives with an appropriate skepticism regarding the statements it makes”.
In a nutshell, Fox News can say mass and in court they argue that no one believes what their newscasters say because “ are exaggerations, non-literary comments or simply speak without meaning “.
