Fox News creates a story then reports on that same story as if it were organic

[HomerJS]

We know Biden is the oldest President in history. Fox News reporter corners Biden while shopping and asks , aren’t you too old to be running for President?” Later this SAME reporter pens a story that “people are saying he is too old to run”. In reality that very reporter created the story and then reported on it.

Once again this network misleading the public while schilling for the GOP.

Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson asked President Biden a question and used the moment to gin up coverage about Biden’s age.

Well...lots of people...myself included think Biden (and Trump) are too old to run for office.

I don't disagree with you but this is about dishonest reporting. Read the article and you will find a better example

That might have been a valid concern prior to the 2020 election. But during his first term Biden has demonstrated he can actually do the job. Including what was described as a marathon overseas trip not too long ago.

Fox has made a living "people are saying" allowing them to promote any matter of bullshit without responsibility.

They were caught with the Dominion suit, and more are coming but they still use this model.

Faux Nooz viewers aren’t interested in the truth…they only want to hear stories that conform to their beliefs.

Another example @ 6:45 approx.

I guess if the story gets fact checked then fox does not have to worry about it being false.

Don't forget Murdoch owns different news outlets. If you don't think there isn't some hanky panky going on to have one news outlet put out a half-assed "news" article or opinion piece, only to have it repeated on Fox, you are naive. I don't actively watch Fox, but I have seen articles where Fox is called out for quoting an opinion piece as if it were fact, so that Fox can further their agenda.

FOX doesn't give a shit what anyone outside the party thinks about their "reporting" unless they have to pay through their nose to spread their partisan propaganda. Their priority is to keep the GOP party faithful glued to their TV screens totally addicted to the bullcrap religiously slanted racist dogma that they can rally 'round.

They create demons and banshees out of thin air to scare their viewers into submission and then tell them it's the heroic GOP cadre and party faithful alone that will save them all from the imminent doomsday the Democrats are responsible for.

However, as that 'ol missive goes "it takes two to tango", it takes some really dumbass lazy brained living breathing drones that require some authoritarian scammer to do their thinking for them to complete that freak circus circle jerk. To think that there are millions of them is as awesome as it is frightening to face.

Given her prediction, I'm about the width of a flea turd closer to believing in that sort'a scam. Although I do think having a scam artist being hosted by another scam artist did get a snicker out'a me. FOX, they're so tangled up in their own bullcrap hoax conspiracy "theories" and desperately on the lookout for any slanted attack on the liberals they can dream up, they're confusing themselves into being abject fools. Come to think of it, after lurking on a couple of MAGAt political forums for awhile I've been left with the impression that whatever ails FOX's talking heads has severely infected those meatheads there what with talk of an actual civil war coming if Trump gets his presidency stolen again.

Don't they know they've already declared war on the Constitution? And what they're actually calling for is a dictatorship led a by an orange moron that wants to be real good friends with Putin again? I mean, how fucked up in their heads can they be to be so deluded into thinking that once Trump gets his dictatorship up and running his ego driven paranoia is going to turn on them like he's turned on so many of his own horde of sycophants when they didn't pamper his ego often enough like they should'a?
