This is DESPERATE. I can't find it now, but there was research that showed when Fox doesn't cover Trump related crises it actually hurts their viewership. People find out about a big thing, check other sources, say "holy shit, why is Fox not covering this?!?" and maybe drift away from the network.
Fox works by SPINNING the bad news. That they can't even find a plausible spin on this one gives you a sense of how BAD-BAD-BAD it's going to be.

The difference between this and most Trump policies is that the tariffs affect everyone. Literally every single American tomorrow will be objectively and noticeably worse off with no exceptions.

When they turn on the news to hear why or how that will actually be a good thing, hoping that maybe they’ll make a profit tomorrow, it’s not good to hear them say “it’s fine, don’t worry about it, we all knew you’d be fucked anyway!

Jesus literally says that the core tenet is to love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as you love yourself. The latter clause is a guide to understanding how to do the the former, and the former clause is because He gives you the strength to do the latter.
Instead, they hate their neighbor, spit on the refugee, exploit the poor, mock the sick and abuse the widow, and say they're doing it because God told them He'd make them rich if they did so.
The Prosperity Gospel specifically, and Conservative "Christianity" in general is a sick heresy, tailor-made to lead people into sin and cruelty. They replace worship of God with the worship of Capitalism, exalting greed-poisoned monsters in exchange for a license to be brutes. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

multiple pastors tell me essentially the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount parenthetically in their preaching - turn the other cheek - to have someone come up after and to say, where did you get those liberal talking points? And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ, the response would not be, I apologize. The response would be, yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak. And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis.

I think it's even more insidious than merely worshiping Capitalism. Their belief that you receive good things because God favors the faithful has developed the corollary that those who do not have good things must therefor be wicked and unfaithful to be so without God's favor. Therefor it is God's will that the poor should be suffering, and it is working God's will to cause them even further suffering. Which justifies all their racism and xenophobia and anti-empathy rhetoric and actions as being the will of God.
The suffering is the point, because they believe it is the morally correct thing to do.

I mean, this has been a pattern with Christianity and religion in general for literal centuries. At what point are we going to have the conversation that maybe Christianity needs to go away?

Christianity inevitably becomes a self-serving hypocrisy that seeks control and the spread of hate and mistrust. Whatever good it has done is vastly outweighed by centuries of hate, bigotry, and violence that continues at this very moment.

I think you might be putting the cart before the horse?
You're familiar with post-Western-Roman-collapse concept of "As Above, So Below"? There's a bunch of meanings behind it, but the relevant one is that the political system of those times was deeply hierarchical, and so the ruling class pushed the belief that the temporal order was based on the divine one. This was a reversal of causes, but it was useful to the ruling class in justifying the status quo.
That is as true today as it was then. The ruling class is empowered by and ensconced through capitalism, and so the divine order must follow: God must love the rich, or why else would they be in power? This is not caused by Christianity, or even religion in general: those are emergent properties of natural pattern recognition and a human tendency towards symbolism, intentionalism, and narrative.
The cause is that we have a hierarchical sociopolitical system, and so some beliefs systems follow. Religion is part of a power structure that supports the ideology of the ruling class. It is not the cause. It can reinforce other power structures - including devolutionary, liberatory, or horizontal power structures.
That's why trying to fight injustice by fighting religion - fighting belief - is so futile. Not only does it not address the underlying causes, but it's fighting a fundamental human tendency towards pattern recognition and narrative creation. There's a why the most effective science educators are also excellent storytellers. They channel that tendency, instead of trying to tell people to... not think like people.
If you want to fight the excesses of religion, couch fighting against hierarchy in human terms.

We're so despised China and Japan, which have had an adversarial relationship for centuries, just made a trade alliance against us.
"Yeah yeah, the rape of Nanjing was bad, but have you seen what Trump is doing? Wanna make a deal?"
Should make it pretty fucking clear how bad things are.

destroyed trade relations
Mate, you have destroyed your trade relations with Canada for fucks sake.
And lets be honest; you've got to work really hard to piss off Canada.

But pity the people who do…Canadians have absolutely no ability to give any fucks once the rubber hits the road. A fierce and formidable people.

It's also interesting seeing what every major US and reputable world news website is showing on a given day like yesterday and today... and then checking Fox News website.
Zero mention of the stock market there today. Only mention of M13 evil gang members, something about Obama, and left-leaning liberal in some city did something. And lord have mercy on you if you venture into reading the comments section.
It's surreal. They literally refuse to report the actual news if it's *anything* that makes Trump or the Republicans look even remotely not great.

Serious question. Didn't Fox get out of a lawsuit not too long ago by saying they were not a news channel but an entertainment channel? I'm just wondering why they can call it Fox News?

Dems should run on a platform implementing policy wherein any non-news media has to start their reporting with a disclaimer that they are not an actual news site.
Consider it like labels/ingredient lists for media.

Republicans and their media are guilty of literally everything they ever accuse democrats of. Pure projection and hypocrisy all day every day.

Fox News viewers are still as stupid as they’ve always been so doubt they noticed or can connect those dots.

In an alternate universe Fox News is just the script of a long running office style show about an incredibly bias news network.

Stick in there champ, the worse the economy gets the better it is for the health of this nation.
It will be a catalyst to keep republicans out of office and get real left leaning politicians into office to do to this country what should have been done a long time ago.
I wish with every bone in my body that one day we will look like the EU, or many parts of it anyways(while still holding onto all the truly great things that make us American).
Besides, there are far worse things than the economy/money happening right now that need to go.

I was watching the Denver Fox affiliate news yesterday. With a straight face they said, “Democrats have jumped at the chance to criticize the President [for tariffs] but have not offered any other solutions.” They are so clever in their dishonesty. Solutions to what!?

I know it’s been at least 20 years because the 2006 LCd panel my Wife’s grandparents own have the Fox News and stock ticker burned into the screen. Watching The Grinch Christmas Eve is always fun.

Perfect example of how they know they are the propaganda machine for this administration, fake news! Wouldn’t be shocked to hear he called and told them to remove it. This being done, even when they know the maga crowd watching Faux News during the day, are more than likely not investors, yet still didn’t want them to see that ticker.

This is not ok! Agree with you completely, posting things that haven’t been properly fact checked makes us look as bad as Trump/maga/gop when they lie about everything.

Fox is not a news station it is a propaganda source for conservatives and the GOP, so it is no surprise that they would not have the market ticker showing as the stock market hits the skids and tanks because of Trumps tariffs.

I hear Newsmax commercials that say that "Even Fox is bad" after tossing shade on all of the other major networks. It's far worse than we know.

u/JefSpicoli 18h ago
Hardly. Unless you're watching Fox Business, it's rarely on there. Usually on only at the end of the market day. If I see it at the bottom of the screen, I assume I'm watching Fox Business. Also, Fox is now less pro-Trump than ever.

The irony is that is a good thing. I remember news before they started slapping all that extra crap on the screen. The stock ticker in general was the most horrible idea.
It encouraged short term thinking when it came to our investments. When you see your investment take a couple day fall, people panic and abandon solid investments. So over the last 25 years companies have been forced more than ever to focus on making sure every moment was a positive short term story.
Less and less interest in focusing on the medium and long term investments to grow your company with R&D and becoming more innovative.
Cut staff, cut investments. Do whatever it takes to make that ticker go up daily on your cable news station.
If only Fox were doing this permanently, I would celebrate.
