Are children and young adults really more impressionable than Fox news

Fox News isn’t being paid by the Federal or State Governments to run “Ads” that attempt to put a positive spin on negative events.

Suuuure. Not paid directly by the gov, but unless you’ve been living under a rock, everyone knows that politicians and big corporations (or in this case: Fox News) work hand in hand to push propaganda… Or like you said “put a positive spin on negative events”.

People just like to jump on TikTok and be like CHINA BAD!. As if America was an angel lmao.

WTF is wrong with you? China is running ads trying to convince people that they’re not really genociding the Uyghur Muslims they’re just detaining them to send them all to school!

As if America was an angel lmao.

I never said it was, again WTF is wrong with you in your head? Criticizing one group doesn’t equate to support for an opposing group.

Does it count when a major political party, that does that all the time, uses the money it pilfered from that government, or is that different somehow?

What about that the only reason they’re not doing it directly from the government account is because of the safeguards against that kind of thing they haven’t pulled down yet

A political party is not the Government nor do their ads attempt to whitewash Government misdeeds.

A political party makes up parts of the government and uses their ads to whitewash their own actions within the government.

This division is not at clean as you’re trying to make it

Oftentimes they’re connected to party members mate. Trump literally spoke to a bunch of their broadcasters daily.

Was the US Federal Government paying Fox News to run ads talking about how the mass murder of American Indians was a good thing?

No? Then GTFO out of here with this whataboutism. It’s fucking gross.

The same people fund both the government (through elections) and the news media. I guarantee you Murdoch is friends with many of his fellow billionaires.
