Once again, foot soldiers from Jan 6th have (Proud Boys, this time ....) been found to be guilty of a planned violent attempt to overthrow the US government (i.e. seditious conspiracy).
Once again - this #1 story on every legitimate news source is nowhere to be found on foxnews.com .
My e-mail to the last reporter at Fox who wrote about Jan 6th. Amazingly he did not reply

Dear Mr. O’Neill,
Writing to you in your capacity as a reporter whose beat at Fox has included coverage of individuals accused of seditious conspiracy in response to their actions on and around January 6, 2021.
It has come to my attention that it has not come to the attention of your prestigious news organization that two leaders of the Oath Keepers were found guilty of seditious conspiracy by a jury of their peers. The news is nowhere to be found on the Fox News website.
This event seems somewhat significant, as the last convictions in United States court for sedition were foreign terrorists: On 1 October 1995, Omar Abdel-Rahman and nine others were convicted of seditious conspiracy after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.[73] (Wikipedia)
Please don’t get me wrong. No disrespect is intended. FoxNews.com does the public a service by covering important issues of the day. This evening’s top story on the site comes to mind : "Celebrities and lawmakers eat lavish lobster White House dinner with Hunter Biden on taxpayers' dime"
In respect and admiration for your own body of work as a reporter, please accept this anonymous tip in the hopes that you might scoop your colleagues as breaking news to Fox News that individuals have been found guilty in a court of law of attempting the violent overthrow of the United States government.
Best Regards,
Anonymous

OAN and Breitbart News might
OAN and Breitbart News might also want this great tip along with 30-40% of the US population? While Tucker was busying his staff looking for embedded GMen in the Kevin McCarthy provided Jan 6 Capitol Riot footage, the AG & DOJ were doing the work to connect the riot directly from the PBs and OKs to Stone & Bannon, indisputably. The gig is up, look for them to cut a deals and give up the whole DJT crime family. Trump will never see a day of what he deserves, history will document his treason for eternity.

Not reporting this news would seem to indicate that Fox News is providing aid and comfort to enemies of the US. Treason, in other words.

Fox News isn't news. It is
Fox News isn't news. It is instead a daily dose of confirmation bias for frightened old bigots, which happens to be a winning formula. Fear and manufactured outrage = $$$$. That being said, they still need to have a running disclaimer that it is for entertainment purposes only. Would help with future defamation lawsuits.

And here is a nice video clip of all the times Fox talked about how there had never been a charge of sedition.

There's bias in all news
There's bias in all news media, depending on their slant.
As a kid growing up in the age when network TV ruled, it was pretty obvious that NBC was the liberal spin, CBS was the conservative spin, and ABC was the moderate spin. Somewhere along the line, as the Walter Conkrite's of the trade retired, it devolved into being more about delivering ratings than the news, which brought more sensationalism and less accuracy.
By the time I hit 25, I gave up on commercial Network News in favor of the PBS News Hour, which was more measured, and seemed to attempt to present a more diverse set of opinions about current events. It was tough to see my parents eventually steer away from PBS as too liberal to fall under the thrall of Fox News in their last years. They were brainwashed to the point where my siblings and I avoided discussing politics with them in hopes of more civil and productive discourse.
Nowadays, in the age of Cable TV dominating, things seem even more splintered, as the media outlets target and cater to the needs of their special interest groups. I don't really watch TV anymore, so I get my news from the radio or online sources, usually NPR. Their slant is even more pronounced than before, leaning heavily to a liberal bias. No doubt this is a response to the ultra-conservative outlets and a reflection of the greater polarization in society at large.

And Fox News is absolutely
And Fox News is absolutely obsessed by trans people. I just scrolled up and down the Fox home page and there were eight (count 'em) stories about trans people and issues. By contrast, there was a single story about Ukraine and none on Sudan. No wonder studies have confirmed that people who rely on Fox for their news are less informed than people who consume no news at all.

>>>There's bias in all news
>>>There's bias in all news media, depending on their slant.
Yes there is - all news has bias. Fox has an agenda. That agenda is to entertain while presenting current events the same way WWE covers wrestling. Everything is presented as a battle between good and evil. The Democrats are cartoon villains and the Republicans are cartoon embattled heroes always beaten down - on the brink of utter destruction, but only by the grace of God Almighty himself (they don't have a problem with that pronoun) are they able to fight another day.
Until Trump most Republicans paid lip service to the Fox News narrative. Trump fully embraced all of it which is why he is so incredibly popular. Fox viewers finally have a national politicians who shares their narrative.

There were 5 or 6 stories on
There were 5 or 6 stories on NPR's homepage about transgender issues 2 days ago. Both sides of the media spectrum are plying that one for ratings. Sure, it's an issue, but it gets way more coverage than the mainstream public is interested in.
As you all have pointed out, Fox News is particularly culpable for turning a blind eye to more important current events.

The amount of media coverage
The amount of media coverage about trans people on both sides of the political spectrum is not at all proportional to their place in the population. I'm reading that 1.6 million people over the age of 13 in the US identify as trans. The US population is about 332 million. That's less than one-half of one percent of the overall US population.

Stories covering how state governments have inserted themselves into the doctors office to make medical decisions for you are not the same as made up stories about how schools, libraries and the government are forcing your kids to be trans.

I don't know about public interest, in part because of how often the tail wags the dog, but trans people make up a very small part of the US population, and yet trans issues are at the heart of our discourse anymore. That seems odd to me.

Yes no one cares about trans
Yes no one cares about trans people or their rights and most people would just prefer the whole issue to go away. But people should care because we have seen this all before and once you pass laws to erase one set of people it never ends with that small marginalized community.
I mean it all started with protecting the kids and who can be against that, but less than six months later it's only legal to be the gender you were at birth even if you have lived as another gender for years and years as an adult. It's illegal to dress as a gender you didn't have at birth and perform in TN.
The Nazi death camps are just the worst place it can go but there are plenty of shit hole stops along the route that I don't want to live in.

Yes, Mark, Uncle Wally, like his counterpart David Brinkley at NBC, came from a more objective, less partisan, and less sensationalistic era of television news anchors. The crew that followed them, the Dan Rathers, Ted Koppels, and Peter Jennings of the world, were where the apple started to turn.

Respect your feelings
Respect your feelings blackrock, but people being convicted by a jury of trying to violently overthrow the US government is indeed news.
Doesn't happen more than a time or two every century. That makes it news and not propaganda IMHO

Crazy how the ramming attack
Crazy how the ramming attack on the Venezuelan migrants in Brownsville Texas yesterday has disappeared from the Fox News homepage after local media began reporting how the perp (who is of Hispanic heritage himself) was seen taunting the migrants, including calling them "invaders," before running over and murdering them.
