Fox News Loses Trusted News Source Rating From Journalism Watchdog

"Downgraded from Green — Trustworthy" to "Red — proceed with caution."

The rationale for downgrading Fox News was, “In previous reviews of foxnews.com, Newsguard found that while the site had published false claims on significant topics that were uncorrected, that because FoxNews.com regularly published other corrections, and because the false claims did not appear to occur frequently, foxnews.com did not fail Newsguard’s standard for having effective corrections practices.”

What changed was that “foxnews.com published uncorrected significantly false claims at a much more frequent rate than in previous reviews.”

Newsguard is a team of journalists and editors who evaluate and provide nutrition ratings for news organizations. They sell this service to consumers, ad companies, and others as a way to combat misinformation.

The Buffalo terrorist is very literally a Christian nationalist. He says he's not a believer, but lives by Christianity, and says you can't be white without accepting Christianity.

In the Murdoch family succession battle, Fox News and democracy hang in the balance

A 91-year-old billionaire sits atop a global media empire, while his adult children vie to control the family company in the next generation.

It sounds like the plot of the HBO series Succession, but New York Times journalist Jim Rutenberg says the real-life drama involving Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch and his children, Lachlan, James, Elisabeth and Prudence, rivals anything a screenwriter could dream up.

"I ... have always suspected that the Succession writers have some mole in the family, because it's just too many things they seem to know," Rutenberg says. "It's just got all the drama you want in television, but democracy hinges on its future." ...

This piece is based on a Fresh Air interview of the documentary The Murdochs, playing on CNN+, itself based on an earlier New York Times investigative piece, "Planet Fox" (2019).
