Right, and we also need to censor CNN and MSNBC for inciting violence for months last year

I'm supportive is separating news from opinion journalism. The left would have to comply as well. It just so happens that in 2021, the left is closer to reality than the right is. Conspiracies aren't intellectual equivalents of hard, provable facts.

Americans need a place to go to get the facts. Right now, there's so much confusion because people perceive opinion journalism that confirms their cultural biases as facts. Biden won the 2020 election, there's no plot to take everyone's guns and Bibles, Russiagate was overblown, there's no basement beneath Comet Pizza, and Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.

This laughable posturing between factions of a club that excludes almost all of us from membership is a complete waste of our time.

The Washington Post, like other liberal media, is realizing that competition is a b*tch.

Sorry, I can't open that perspective article but the headline is repeating their attack on FOX that has intensified last year. The real hazard to democracy is their attempt to limit free speech.

They seem to have something to hide?

Fox News isn't a "hazard to our Democracy".

They're just a hazard to the Washington Post. And CNN. And MSDNC. And the liberals in government.

No wonder they're screaming hysterically about Fox News.

Gf put one of their shows on the other day. Tucker Carlson.

Oh... my... no wonder the rights so messed up. It wasn’t news. It wasn’t facts. WAs just droning on with some whining. I couldn’t take it. Usually just see like 30 second clips. Actually having the show on was depressing.

There really isn't much for them to worry about. In recent months, Fox has flipped from a slightly right-center network to another left of center one. Their business has plummeted. IIRC for the first time in a decade or more their viewership was below CNN in the last 2 months. WAPO doesn't have to worry about having the government shut them down, the have done so themselves by becoming yet another left-wing echo chamber, focusing on manipulation and propaganda rather than news. In short, they have largely become another CNN, MSNBC, WAPO, NBC, NYT, etc.
