je1 healthcare posted:The only way Fox news collapses is if another right-wing network like OANN or Newsmax steals their audience. Which may happen considering the growing number that somehow consider Fox to be too liberal. People predicted that Fox would tank once Roger Ailes died and a bunch of their top hosts got sacked for being sex pests. Nope, their ratings still remained dominant even as sponsors got iffy about supporting Tucker Carlson or Hannity

I think we'd need to mobilize companies onto statements first. Everytime they get mad it's because Nike did this or Gillette did that. I'd we can get public statement decrying trump and the police, they'll immediately attack those companies.

FOX also edited out portions of a video hey aired that showed the cops shoving, drawing on and handcuffing some store owners that were trying to fend off looters. https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-news/fox-news-edits-video-police-guns-drawn-cuffing-innocent-black-people-1009313/ Rolling Stone posted:A local Fox affiliate ran a story about a family flagging down law enforcement to protect a business from looters, but when police arrived on the scene, the officers handcuffed them. Fox News, however, when broadcasting the affiliate’s report, removed the part of the footage where police drew their guns and put the family in handcuffs. Manuel Calavera posted:The proper context being "we didn't mean to go full mask off. This was supposed to be hidden." Yeah, "Taken out of context" is something that Republicans think is a get out of jail free card for some reason and plays on the idea that "the media" is fake and makes poo poo up - forgetting of course that taking poo poo out of context is what a LOT of their RWM people do as a matter of course (James O' Keefe, "You DIdn't Build THat", etc) lol O' Keefe was on Hannity yesterday.

FlamingLiberal posted:Apparently they apologized for it by saying that the ‘proper context was not given for the graphic’. What the gently caress is the proper context for a graphic made to show how much the stock market gained when a black person was killed or assaulted? Trying to work this one out myself but, increasingly, I find myself unable to parse any sort logic coming from conservative republicans and their media outlets at all so I got nothing. But near as I can tell it's "riots are good for the stock market" or...something. Or maybe some half baked attempt to genuflect and create some odd sort of subterfuge. Possibly a "just asking questions" thing but still. In ANY context a Murdering Black People: Good for the Economy? headline is not only awful, it's just loving weird and, like you, I'm drawing a blank trying to invent any context at all where this makes sense. It'd be like running a news graphic that shows the correlation between the unemployment rate and something like summer box office receipts for a Star Wars movie or the average wait time in a TSA line at the airport and trying to establish a link for whatever reason. Best I can come up with is that, since UE #'s were surprisingly better than expected and that somehow Wall Street is thriving through riots in the street and a global pandemic that we're supposed to be focusing on the economy and subliminally (I guess) connect the murders of black people to high stock yields (?) I uh...I don't loving know what the point of it was or what the "context" could have been. ... Ah, who am I kidding. It was my made up headline writ large. Rush and Hannity will spin it all Monday morning, explaining what the context really meant and how liberals and the fake news media are freaking out over nothing. I'll know what they said by listening to people talk in my lunch room Tuesday.

The real context should be that the stock market is just the collective value of a bunch of companies, which is based on their future earnings, which are largely not influenced by tragedy. As a society we’ve turned “the stock market” into some kind of living being. Anywho Fox’s context is obviously “don’t be worried about your money old whites”

Nor does even assuming that it does make their excuse more palatable. They have no "out" here and just cry "out of context" as if there were a legitimate one in the first place. It's so god damned weird. Here's a graph that shows the price of gas correlated with how much money actors make for starring in a movie! Here's another one that looks at the price of a dozen eggs commensurate with gun laws in several states. I mean wtf? I remember a screen shot during the the GWB presidency that said something like "Higher Gas Prices: GOOD for the Economy?"

The weird part to me is not that Fox News posted the oddly racist graphic or that they basically said "your rich white money is safe when black people die". That's all weird but well within line. The weird part is that no one recognized that by linking Michael Brown, George Floyd, and even Rodney King to MLK you are basically acknowledging that these are all civil rights protests and justified causes. I mean, Fox News won't follow up on that but I'm surprised that they didn't catch that since Rodney King wasn't killed and MLK wasn't killed by cops (you know... directly). But they still linked them all and in doing so accidently admitted the truth.

It would make sense only as an internal metric tracked by someone in finance whose job is to deal with how tragedies affect markets, not as something shown on the news. Every company with a finance department is going to track this sort of thing, whether it's civil unrest, a hurricane, a fire, etc.

Possibly a "just asking questions" thing but still. I'm not sure how you haven't worked it out yourself yet, to be honest. That's not meant to be snarky either. It makes money. Profit is the only god they worship, and that even itself isn't just by choice, it is the nature of the realm that Rupert Murdoch and his contemporaries existed and still exist in. I'm sure this sounds obvious but if anyone hasn't worked out that the United States is a grift empire built on profit and the bodies of slaves you're getting all of the evidence necessary now.

Agreed There are actuaries they have to put monetary values on lives, and all sorts of grim analyses. And there are people that have to analyze the financial impact of global events because they have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients to manage their money. There’s no reason to put this on a cable news network. It would be like describing a murder as the loss of $1.2M worth of human life or whatever the actuarial value is.

Seriously, the last time he tried doing any type of media program post-firing it almost registered a big fat zero on the Nielsen raitings.

Good, gently caress 'em. If the whole world is saying "Don't be a racist piece of poo poo." and they don't even have Sesame Street as a safe space then hopefully they'll be so isolated from cutting off all the messages they don't like that they become irrelevant. I get that all the brands putting out social media statements are hollow, focus grouped PR moves with no genuine concern behind them but I'm hopeful that when it's coming from everywhere all the time these bigoted sacks of poo poo become cut off from the rest of society.

OneEightHundred posted:I think what matters for being "the next Rush" is overall prominence and influence, and it makes much more sense for a personality to be a cross-media star right now than to build their whole empire on AM radio. I agree with this, but usually people who transition from AM radio to television syndication build a more loyal conservative following (Glenn Beck* for example) than those who come out swinging on all media fronts out of the gate like Hannity. *I have no clue how well Beck is doing these days ever since he went the 'Never Trump --> Suck up to Liberals --> Just Kidding Pay Me Money Conservatives' route. He could have bounced back or crashed hard trying for the recovery.
