This critical race theory bogeyman and they way the R's are coordinating in using it everywhere is some really dark shit. 

The most explicit they've been yet about being a movement of white supremacy authoritarianism. Very bad things will come from this.

A difference here is they are mobilizing a movement around being explicitly racist. It’s David Duke’s vision of the klan being put into practice. No more hoods needed.

It's hitting its mark, too. I don't think they're going to stop anytime soon.

Nope. They are doubling amd tripling down on being the party of open white supremacy. It’s amazing - and horrifying - to watch.

It’s only going to get worse.

Well, her reasons are terrible and she's a vile woman but I'm not going to argue with a broken clock.  Does this mean we can all agree now to finally cut the bloated military budget?

“Control over our nation’s weapons”.

This clown who shows his ass on Fox every weeknight doesn’t even know that the chairman of the JSC and the entire JSC do not have operational control over combat forces and in fact it’s written into law. 
 

Not that he or his audience have ever let wrongness get in the way of opinions before.

But, in recent years things have gone badly off the tracks at Fox News. Fox News is no longer a truthful center-right news network. The channel (especially the leading prime-time opinion programming) has contributed substantially and directly to:

I first discovered Foxnews during the runup to the 2000 election. Probably sometime during that summer 2000. So I can't really speak to what Foxnews was for the first 4 years of its existence ('96-'00), but ever since I've been aware of it the idea that it was in any way a truthful, center-right news network is absolutely laughable. They've never ever attempted to be good faith actors in my view. The only difference is the toxicity of the fires they start now has increased compared to what they were doing 20 years ago.

So, Fox is going to take a Sharpie to the weather now.

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/06/business/media/fox-weather-channel-plus.html

 

  Quote

Weather is taking the media industry by storm.

Later this year, Rupert Murdoch is set to debut Fox Weather, a 24-hour streaming channel that promises to do for 7-day forecasts what Fox has done for American politics, financial news and sports. Not to be outdone, the Weather Channel — granddaddy of television meteorology — announced the creation of a new streaming service, Weather Channel Plus, that the company believes could reach 30 million subscribers by 2026.

Expand  

 

  Quote

Amid a waning appetite for political news in the post-Trump era, media executives are realizing that demand for weather updates is ubiquitous — and for an increasing swath of the country, a matter of urgent concern. In the past week alone, temperatures in the Pacific Northwest broke records, wildfires burned in Colorado, and Tropical Storm Elsa strengthened into a hurricane over the Atlantic Ocean.

At CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, average viewership for the first half of 2021 fell 38 percent from a year prior. The audience for the Weather Channel was up 7 percent.

So now, evacuating for a hurricane will be a partisan, political act.  Can't wait to see hundreds and hundreds of trumpkins killed in hurricanes.  I say this is a good thing. 

Of course, the other side of that, is you could have roaming bands of trumpkins blocking and/or harassing folks trying to GTFO of town.

Well at least give them some rakes so they can mitigate future wild fire threats while they are at it.

This is a good thing, imo.  Fox's presentation style will be alarmist about everything, which will start changing opinions about whether weather stuff is actually changing.

 

And also, every eyeball that moves from Fox News to Fox Weather is one set of eyeballs that spends time thinking about godless hurricanes that aren't upholding traditional tropical storm values, which isn't nearly as bad for our country than the alternative.

There will be hours and hours of "climate" shows that will preach about how any "green" initiatives are bad for the economy and won't effect the coming climate change.  Guaran-fucking-teed.  It will make the divide worse, not better.  That's what Fox does.

It was....entertaining in the 90s and into the early 2000s.  Bill O'Reilly would occasionally get interesting guests and ask them decent questions.

It's much more toxic and repetitive now than it was 20 years ago.

On the one hand, they can be extremely coordinated when they find a new story to be outraged about, and there wasn't as much of that 20 years ago.  On the other hand, these days they feel like a bunch of blind monkeys slinging shit around to see what sticks.  20 years ago it seemed like they were run by actual adults.

It’s good if they’re truly trying to diversify because they think political media has a lower upside now.  But I agree their play could just be to inject their own political slant into weather coverage.

Let them try and slant it however the fuck they want.  They can't change the fact that it will be hot as shit outside, or a blizzard, or a drought or whatever.  If they try and fuck around too much, people will bail and/or start questioning their talking points.

oh come on, man. have you EVER watched FN? they'll tell people that Dems are causing climate change and here are 15 examples. they'll figure out a way to pin random blizzards or heat waves on Dems, watch it. It'll happen. Probably in the 1st week.

That guy legit looks and sounds like he may be developmentally delayed but fox puts him on the national 'news'.  Because... of course!

All of you out there with half demented parents who watch this shit all day - change the channel every time.  Maybe they'll change it back but at least make an effort.  This shit is beyond the pale.
