Fox propaganda is playing on TVs 24/7 in airports, gyms, bars, hospitals, nursing homes and even military bases. If you see Murdoch’s trash such as Fox or one of his other channels on a public TV ask that they change the channel or change it yourself if you can. It’s time to do put a stop to it.
For changing the channel on a TV that you don’t have the remote to (ex: public TV or nursing home TV) your smartphone might be able to do it if it has an IR blaster. If your phone doesn’t support that there are USB-C dongles you can buy that I believe can do it. Another option is to buy a universal remote. Also for some smart TVs it might be possible to download the app and use that to control the TV.
Also especially if your parents/grandparents are elderly, or have dementia or Alzheimer’s consider setting up parental control on their TV to block Fox News and other right wing channels. It’s important to protect their health. I’d say this will depend on their situation but I trust that you’ll know if this is the right thing to do based on that person’s unique situation.
If you work for a hospital or nursing home maybe try advocating for a facility wide ban of Fox News and other right wing channels. I sincerely believe it will improve health outcomes.
Also when the image was made the percentage of scientists who accept climate change was 97%. Now I’m seeing multiple sources say the percentage is 99%. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac2966 https://theconversation.com/the-97-climate-consensus-is-over-now-its-well-above-99-and-the-evidence-is-even-stronger-than-that-170370

fuck FOX and CNN, they are just propaganda outlets, nothing from them should be viewed
I still don’t understand how they’re allowed to call themselves a news station when they won a misinformation lawsuit by claiming its just “entertainment”
Can you imagine the bubble you have to live in to see all the major weather events in the world that have been happening in the last few years vs. how things were when you were a kid and still deny the reality of climate change?
I’m a little embarrassed to admit it but at one point I was somewhat of a climate change denier and also a Trump supporter. There’s a very well funded coordinated effort to get people to not take climate change seriously. That combined with doing whatever your “tribe” does is how I got sucked in to climate change denialism. I’m so glad I’m out of that. It’s why I’m now so passionate about these topics, I don’t want other people to suffer the way I did. When I say suffer let me tell you being a conservative isn’t a good life. You’re constantly fed the latest thing to hate and be outraged at along with talking points to repeat nearly verbatim. Now instead of hate I have love and want to make the world better. It really feels so much better.
The reason I’m saying this is in hopes of giving you perspective on how someone might deny climate change despite noticing the climate is different now than in one’s childhood. Even when I was a Trump supporter I remember thinking the weather does seem different but I never made the connection.
I have tremendous respect for people who are able to admit their mistakes and move on. Congrats!
Its very refreshing to read a post like this. People have a hard time admitting they were wrong.
I used to believe men needed to fight for what’s theirs (when I was like 20) until I realized how everything was ours and how unfair the world is to women. I would now describe myself as a feminist. I was quite wrong.
Hey, I feel better
