Those familiar with Hogan’s Heros remember St. Schutz’s oft repeated lines (above).

Excerpts from above:
It is not news and it sure ain’t journalism, yet the folks at Fox News have long pretended to deliver “fair and balanced” news and mime the moves of real journalists.
That pretense, though, has been shattered by the revelations in recently unsealed documents from the defamation suit brought against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems….
Murdoch and his amoral crew of hypocrites clearly are not in the news business. They are in the business of making gobs of money — “green” — any way they can, even if it devastates American democracy.
When MSNBC was reporting on the verdict in the E. Jean Carroll trial I tuned in to Fox News to see what they were covering. They had a host interviewing someone about the border situation expressing near hysteria about how they thought Biden wanted the country to be overrun with criminals.
Viewers of Fox News may not know about the $83.3 million jury award to E. Jean Carroll unless they happen to tune in when it is being reported on (here).

If they looked at the website this is what they would have seen (it may have changed when you read this blog):

If they read The New York Times they would know just how tough the Biden immigration bill which some Republicans, at Trump’s behest (or order), are trying to block is:

Excerpt:
“What’s been negotiated would — if passed into law — be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country,” he said. “It would give me, as president, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the bill into law.”

Above: The difference between how Fox News and MSNBC are covering the immigration problem. Below: I doubt Fox News will even mention the news that the economy is defying predictions and doing much better than experts said it would.

There is only one way that I can see breaking though the biased coverage on Fox News. That is through placing ads on Fox News in particular during the most popular shows (take that Tucker Carlson).
As long as Nikki Haley is running her Koch brothers funded campaign, she can afford these ads although she also does get interviewed on Fox News.

Below is her current ad:

The LIncoln Project seems to have ample funds. Here’s their current ad from X(Twitter).

Of course the Democrats are well-funded. Here’s Biden’s most recent ad. It’s about abortion bans.

Stations are not allowed to reject or censor ads for political candidates. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) can revoke any station license for failing to allow a legally qualified candidate to purchase ads. (Reference)
Even if they could legally refuse to broadcast an ad I doubt they’d want to turn down the revenue let alone deal with the publicity refusing to air an ad would generate.
Ads can not only be broadcast on national shows but on targeted local stations.
Addendum: Read article – The Fox News website now requires an email in order to read articles. In order not to give them your active email address I recommend opening another email account like the encripted and secure Proton Mail and use it only for it and other sites you don’t want to fill your email box with crap.
