There's no such thing as bottom with these idiots. As soon as they've reached a new low, there they are, striving to go even further down.

They should bring back public executions for Trump and his entire family.

I was wondering when something like this would happen. Every time I see a clip of a Fox News pundit screaming some easily refutable nonsense to purposely stoke violence I wonder how it can possibly be legal. Feel like the government should be suing them on behalf of the American people.

I doubt the lawsuit will go anywhere. Fox lawyers will claim that no reasonable person will take these claims seriously and that's that.

The classic "we are performance art" argument.

Or maybe "we are protected under parody law as a parody of ourselves and by extension our moron viewers" argument.

I can't see how you can make that claim when you're claiming to be a NEWS outlet.

If they want to claim to not be news, then great. Go for it. As long as they claim to be news there has to be some type of responsibility to the truth attached.

I’m listening to the Will Be Wild podcast expose of the J6 attack and what led up to it. It’s fascinating and terrifying. I highly recommend it.

Fox News should be worried. If they can make things stick to Alex Jones, they sure as hell can make things stick to Fox.

I hope this is right but I don’t agree they are as identical.

Now - I haven’t watched a montage of fox’s lies compared to Jones I admit

To me it just looks like a bunch of American politicians who probably saw the political points that Pelosi scored at home for her visit and want a bit of the same for themselves. It's an easy win to make themselves look strong, brave, and freedom-loving to their voters while the only people who face any increased chance of negative consequences are the Taiwanese, not likely in terms of war but in terms of some economic retaliation from the country that is still their largest trading partner, and the American politicians don't care what happens to them.

The US does also want to send a message that they're still strong and relevant in the region, which this kind of does and which I guess is the dick swinging aspect of this that makes some giggle and cheer, but at the same time they've just committed $53B to funding onshoring of tech and developing domestic production capacity for semiconductor manufacturing that will compete directly with Taiwanese manufacturing and make Taiwan much less important to them.

It's pretty much Taiwan getting played as a pawn between bigger powers again.

It's also a bit concerning to see such a war-loving country as the US unnecessarily heightening tensions with a global competitor while calling that competitor the provocateur as if seeking a public moral justification for some kind of action against them.
