Fox News Credibility With Republicans Sank After Correctly Reporting Trump Lost Election

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on May 18, 2021 · Flag

Republicans’ trust in their favorite “news” network dropped precipitously in 2020, according to a recent poll that tied the fall to Donald Trump’s election loss to Joe Biden. However, much of the flock eventually returned to the fold.

Morning Consult wrote today about its poll conducted with The Hollywood Reporter last week:

Fox News’ declining credibility with Republicans follows sustained criticism from Trump around his Nov. 3 loss to President Joe Biden. Morning Consult Brand Intelligence data captured a decrease in popularity among Republicans at the time that stabilized a month later. 

In late December, Morning Consult noted that Fox’s popularity had mostly rebounded from its post-election decline.

Perhaps more importantly, Fox has remained Republicans’ most-trusted news source throughout.

Since the election, Fox has become more propagandistic. It is deliberately destroying its news division and bulking up its Trumpy opinion shows and Trumpy pundits.

Yet Lachlan Murdoch and his underlings are trying to sell Fox to advertisers and the public as “center right.”

So true, scooter, so true. And all that hatred will eventually find an outlet.

Europeans are often bemused by Americans who ask “Is it safe to walk around my hotel?” With the exception of war zones, the USA is actually the most dangerous country in the world, where hatred is increasingly perceived as a virtue not a sin.

FOX is lies for people who want to be lied to. It reinforces their biases, makes them feel OK to hate everyone who is not like them.

IMO, this is evidence that Fox viewers are not interested so much in fact-based news as in finding confirmation of what they want to believe. Fox(not)News has been the mouthpiece for a faith-based movement rather than facts. Truth has nothing to do with it and it is precisely that which is chilling.
