Hey beehaw, can you just use your magic admin toolbox to defederate fox news in real life? Getting tired of their propaganda.

[–] Thalestr@beehaw.org 17 points 2 years ago

Yes please.

Is it even legal for news media to misquote someone, especially an elected official?

[–] BourbonLaser@kbin.social 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't speak to the legality, but it sure sounds like they violated the terms and agreement in place with AP repeatedly. I wonder what recourse AP has and if they could choose to disallow their content entirely on Fox? It seems like most news organizations get a majority of reporting from AP. I can only imagine the detrimental impact to Fox News if that came to pass.

I mean, it's not like anyone goes to Fox for real news anyways. I doubt any of their userbase would complain.

@Noreia

@superflippy

Changing the text of articles from AP should be breaking a law somewhere.

[–] DrPop@lemmy.one 8 points 2 years ago

They'll just spin it as liberal woke media doing blahdeda.

[–] ArtZuron@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago

It does sound like it could be defamation again, which they'd probably lose again to in court. They knowingly misquoted information.

[–] gerowen@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They're not a "news" organization. They're corporate media, entertainment. They even lost one of their certifications as a "trusted news source" for blatantly lying and regurgitating internet memes without checking their sources.

[–] iamhazel@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Please share the source for your claim about certification? My searching left me nothing but a snopes article debunking similar claims.

That's great and all, but their behavior and actions are that of a news agency regardless, so wouldn't they have to face the same scrutiny as a news agency?

[–] thegreekgeek@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

...are we really that surprised at this point though?

[–] Zasha@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

They were even inconsistent in the changes in their own articles, ha

@superflippy we should sue Faux News for libel.

[–] ArtZuron@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

They already got baked by that defamation suit that saw tucker leave, so it wouldn't be as hard to do it again.
