Exactly, some people rather hear lies because it feels better then actually reality.

[@richardcory5024]

It is a fundamental trait of human nature that we would rather be lied to than ever told the truth about anything. Fox makes money out of it, that's all, and now they are going to have to pay out for a change.

"doing their homework" is code for looking at Facebook & You tube

[@mvvpro8688]

Even if Fox would have been forced to publish an apology, this segment shows their viewers would have said, well, we take everything with a grain of salt and we think that other networks who were not fined almost 800 million for lying are just as bad. They say they do not want to be lied to, but that's a lie.

"The audiences aren't looking to be lied to we just want them to tell us what we believe is true" ... whether or not it is. Sums up everything these people are saying. It also proves how well Fox knew its audience when it lied to them.

[@alphajackal6648]

They start at the conclusion and work their way backwards, seeking sources that validate preconceived notions. In the process, they're exposed to even more right-wing politics, which reinforces the cycle and gives them more 'truths' to work backwards from because a source they trusted said it.

[@zammich3649]

They just don't understand that by nature of WANTING something to be true, they are creating demand for a market where someone tells them that it is, regardless of whether or not there's any evidence behind it. Fox is not news, it is only ever either a mouthpiece for paying customers on the right, or a simple reflection of what the viewers want to see.

[@orvalprosacco1951]

That's why they'll keep doing it until their audiences start to resent it.

[@John-zn4lp]

As Jack Nicholson once said, "you can't handle the truth!" So true about Fox viewers. They just want to hear what confirms their bias and conspiracy theories, and they are content to live in their delusions.

Saul Alinsky continues to spread Marxism, especially on Fake News channels like this one. The Left always claims the other side is doing what they are guilty of. With the Democrat Propaganda MSM, they get away with it, because the low information, sheeple followers are too stupid to know the truth.

"What I came away from the court filing with was: a lot of this is a matter of opinion." Fox News was like "there is literally no way we are winning this. We can try to settle for this because the continued legal fees plus the court ruling is going to cost us a whole lot more" but somehow this free thinker Stockholmed himself into "well, but maybe..."

[@rurome2151]

Opinions😢... One based on facts, the other based on nonsense.

[@seanyoung9014]

They don't care if the information is factual or not. They just care that someone is telling them what they want to hear whenever they want to hear it. They KNOW it's just an entertainment network.

[@itazuranakisu]

I don’t think enough of them view it as entertainment especially since the network is so readily available, is called Fox News (emphasis on news) and they get the same access to presidents like actual news outlet. In reality faux news needs to be treated like tmz which is basically trash tabloids but a lot more racism, ignorance and horrible people on the payroll. They should be forced to change their name, have disclaimers boldly through out each segment and not get any of the access or resources actual news outlets have.

[@ajohnsonvl]

They love a world where they can connect with people who will tell them all the ugly things they want to hear. Even if it's a lie, they will pretend it's the truth, so they can justify feeding their hate for things that are not in their favor.

[@davidbrear8642]

These people aren't interested in anything, unless it confirms their existing delusional beliefs. Rupert Murdoch and his gang have understood this sad situation and have made a fortune out of it.

[@footballnerd277]

Exactly! Proving that Fox lied about the election being stolen is irrelevant. I think deep down, 90% of them knew that even back in 2020. I think they knew it wasn't actually stolen. They just refused to admit it to themselves. They were outraged that their cult leader Trump had been dethroned. So they allowed themselves to be lied to, so they could have an outlet and a way to channel their outrage. They knew they were being brainwashed, but they allowed it. Because that was less painful for them, than admitting that their lord and saviour Donald Trump, wasn't as popular as they wanted him to be.

The fact that Alison didn’t call them out on their delusional takes is what’s baffling to me.

[@zammich3649]

She's not doing this to educate THEM, she's doing it to educate other people on how the viewers think. In order to be trusted enough to get people to even participate in something like this, she needs to have trust that she's not going to just go after them. Honestly, if you're a regular viewer of non-right-wing media, it's obvious enough when they're being outright delusional that she doesn't *need* to call it out to make a point.

[@louislafontaine5984]

Yes, she’s too soft and friendly with these delusional people. That was easy to show them it’s not equal on both sides. Most medias have facts checkers. While Fox laid off those who question the baseless conspiracies. And I don’t invent this. It is from the Tucker Carlson own private text messages with his boss.

This is why Fux will continue business as usual. The only thing that will keep these people away is the truth. This wasn’t a panel of Yosemite Sams. These were the type of people you work with, see at the grocery store or at the movies. Fux will never again make the mistake of leaving a paper trail or letting Jeanine Pirro on the air without a sobriety test.
