Fox News is not known for its insightful analysis, but has provided reporting of deep political relevance.

9/11

A FOX report on Israeli connections to 9-11[1]
Full article: Rated 4/5 9-11

On the day of 9/11, Fox News interviewed a highly suspicious "witness" who seemed unusually well versed in what was later to become the official narrative, that the buildings had collapsed due to fire. He appeared to be in the company of at least two handlers.[2]

One reporter for Fox News commented about the supposed crash scene at Shanksville "It looks like there's nothing there, except for a hole in the ground."[3]

Fox News announced one minute before it happened that "we are getting word from New York right now that another building has collapsed". Having described the collapse, they switched to a live video stream which showed the WTC7 collapse, but the news anchors were unphased and continued commenting as if nothing remarkable had happened.[4]

Amerithrax

Fox News mentioned that Richard Lambert, former FBI head of the Amerithrax investigation was suing the FBI alleging malpractice.[5]

7/7

While interviewed on Fox News, former Mossad agent, "terrorism" expert Juval Aviv once remarked that "It's easy to put a truck bomb, as we did, er, as happened in London."[6][7]

War Profiteers

Global Research reports on an investigation by the Public Accountability Initiative into war punditry which found that in "23 appearances on Fox News there was not a single attempt to disclose industry ties" of 'experts' to weapons manufacturers.[8]

COVID-19

In July 2020, Fox reported that "A person who died in a motorcycle accident was added to Florida's COVID-19 death count, according to a state health official."[9]

Tucker Carlson has been helpful at highlight gaps in the COVID-19 Official narrative. He invited Peter McCullough after hearing his testimony to the Texas Senate.[citation needed]

School shootings

FOX News on the other side of the spectrum fuels the stake of the gun enthusiasts, who didn't began to wonder why a corporate entity is backing ideas that increase a future for their children, where they need to be protected by or from a gun 24/7. FOX News pundits came up with 50 ideas from "put your phone down" to introducing the capital punishment, as if a disturbed kid with an assault rifle really is planning to go to Bermuda after killing 20 children cold blooded. After all, the US is not Vietnam.[10][11]

As part of the conservatives and republican side in the US polarised perspective, FOX News has had a tendency to react to all school shootings and mass shootings to increase funding to police.[12]


 

A Quote by Fox News

PageQuoteDateSource
Sam Altman“Both publicly and internally, leaders at Microsoft are cheering OpenAI's apparent return to normalcy following days of chaos.

The ChatGPT creator, in which Microsoft has reportedly invested some $13 billion, has been on a roller-coaster ride that began Friday when its board abruptly fired Sam Altman as CEO and ended with his return and the appointment of a new board early Wednesday.

Following Altman's ouster, Microsoft swooped in to hire him along with OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman — who quit OpenAI in protest over Altman's termination — to lead a new advanced AI research team at Microsoft, and also offered to hire any other OpenAI employees who wanted to leave. Sam Altman is returning to OpenAI as CEO after his ousting last week, and three board members that participated in his termination have been removed. At that point, Microsoft, already majority owner in OpenAI, was positioned to essentially "acquire" OpenAI by absorbing its talent, after nearly all the startup's 770 or so workers signed a letter saying they would take Microsoft up on the offer unless Altman was reinstated.

However, a deal was ultimately reached for Altman to return to OpenAI rather than allowing the $90 billion company to collapse, in what Fortune tech reporter David Meyer wrote is an outcome that "is pretty ideal for Microsoft."”

George Carlin“Now, to balance the scale, I'd like to talk about some things that bring us together, things that point out our similarities instead of our differences. 'Cause that's all you ever hear about in this country. It's our differences. That's all the media and the politicians are ever talking about—the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That's the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking money! Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know? Anything different—that's what they're gonna talk about—race, religion, ethnic and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality, anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other, so that they can keep going to the bank! You know how I define the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep 'em showing up at those jobs.”George Carlin

Jimmy Carter“Nowadays, because of the unwarranted invasion of Iraq by Bush and Blair, which was a completely unjust adventure based on misleading statements, and the lack of any effort to resolve the Palestinian issue, [there is] massive Islamic condemnation of the United States. (...) (American media organisations), have been cowed, because they didn't want to be unpatriotic. There has been a lack of inquisitive journalism. In fact, it's hard to think of a major medium in the United States that has been objective and fair and balanced, and critical when criticism was deserved”Jimmy Carter2004
