Faux News employees embarrassed by fakeness

[someoneyouknow]

"I'm watching now and screaming," one Fox News personality said in a text message to CNN as the person watched their network's coverage. "I want to quit."

"It is another blow to journalists at Fox who come in every day wanting to cover the news in a fair and objective way," one senior Fox News employee told CNN of their outlet's coverage, adding that there were "many eye rolls" in the newsroom over how the news was covered.

The person said, "Fox feels like an extension of the Trump White House."
. . .

Fox News journalists took significant issue with their network's opinion hosts, who deflected from the news and, in Sean Hannity's case, characterized Mueller's investigation as a "witch hunt," a term Trump used on Sunday in a angry tweet to describe the probe.

"That segment on Outnumbered [questioning Mueller's integrity] was absurd and deserves all the scorn it can get," a Fox News employee told CNN, referring to the network's noontime talk show.
. . .
"It's an embarrassment," another Fox News employee echoed to CNN. "Frankly, there are shows on our network that are backing the President at all costs, and it's that short term strategy that undermines the good work being done by others."

Murdoch or Mordor?

‘Different level of crazy’: WSJ reporters furious that pro-Trump editorial page is ‘living in some alternate universe’

More reporters are coming forward with public complaints over baseless attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller from publications owned by right-wing billionaire Rupert Murdoch.

Reporters at the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal spoke to Vanity Fair about the newspaper’s declining credibility one day after staff at the Murdoch-owned Fox News spoke to CNN to air similar gripes.

“The editorial page has been doing crazy shit for a long time,” a former long-serving Wall Street Journal editor told Joe Pompeo. “It does feel like this is a different level of crazy.”

The problem arises from The Journal defending President Donald Trump on the editorial page in ways that kneecaps the journalism of reporters investigating the White House.

“We could disprove half the stuff” the opinion writers “are saying if they just read our own reporting,” one Journal reporter explained. “It’s like living in some alternate universe.”

Trumpistanian fiction?

If they're bothered, why don't they quit?

SPOILER: because money.

They're owned.

This isn't the first time (nor last) folks at the Faux News network were up in arms about the blatantly biased and lying shilling from on high. Back in May the round of lies being pedaled entailed Seth Rich, a DNC staffer who was murdered in Washinton, D.C.

As the lies go, he was the source of the leaks of emails from the DNC and others, and he was murdered in retribution. As we now know (and anyone with a brain would have known this) Russia's intelligence services and those they hired were the culprits of released emails.

Despite this, for weeks the Fake News network pounded away at this lie despite both the D.C. police saying it was only a murder (still unsolved) and the family having to repeatedly come out and correct the lies.

"I'm disgusted by it," one Fox News employee told CNN.

"It is disappointing because it drags the rest of us down," said a senior Fox News employee, who asked how Fox News leadership could continue to allow Hannity to spread an unproven theory on the network.

Another Fox News employee said he feels that Hannity isn't letting go of the Rich story because he wants to "distract from any and all Trump scandals."

"It hurts those of us who are legitimately focused on journalism," added the first employee. "We have a chance to turn the corner at Fox, and perpetuating this conspiracy theory damages our integrity."

The Daily Beast additionally reported on Monday that Fox News staffers were "embarrassed" by Hannity's promotion of the conspiracy theory.

Brad Bauman, spokesman for the Rich family, told CNN last week that "anyone who continues to push this fake news story after it was so thoroughly debunked is proving to the world they have a transparent political agenda or are a sociopath."

If the actual mission of your organization is wrong, you have no legitimate reason to be embarrassed.

What network is Number One in the ratings?

It's nice that everyone on this board hates Fox News, but at some point, it has to dawn on you.

You're in the minority! Not by a little. By a lot.

Keep Whining Though. It sure is entertaining.

That would be ABC News.

And you should invest in their stock.

Also, apples and oranges...but hey, it probably sounded witty in your head.

Just because something is on top does not mean it's good. It's easy to be on top when you deliberately lie and the people you pander to are too uneducated to know otherwise.

Apples and Oranges...and you know it. Besides, no one watches the network news anymore...at least, no one who wants to be informed.

Wait.... aha....explains a lot.

No, popularity does not imply quality so much as marketing.
