Fox News Employees Embarrassed By Own Network
In a revealing video from The Young Turks, host Cenk Uygur discusses the rapid decline of Fox News' credibility, as even its employees appear to be expressing embarrassment over the network's coverage. The clip highlights how Fox News has consistently provided right-wing propaganda, particularly in its reporting on significant matters like the Trump-Russia investigation.
The video elaborates on an instance when Fox News chose to ignore major developments in the investigation—like the arrests of key figures such as Paul Manafort and George Papadopoulos—in favor of trivial coverage that doesn't reflect the seriousness of the news. This decision led to internal discontent, with some staff even reaching out to CNN to express their dismay at Fox's handling of the situation.
Uygur points out a contradiction within the organization: many employees seem surprised to discover that Fox News operates with a conservative bias, despite the network’s long history of partisan reporting. He questions their awareness of Fox's agenda, emphasizing that these realizations shouldn't come as a shock, given the network's track record of right-leaning coverage.
Amidst the commentary, Uygur encourages those feeling conflicted about their work to consider stepping away from a network known for its partisan reporting. He argues that if these employees are committed to journalistic integrity, they should seek to work in environments that prioritize unbiased news rather than propaganda.
This video serves not only as a critique of Fox News but also a call for greater accountability within the media landscape, urging viewers to recognize significant issues surrounding media integrity and journalistic standards.
