What's with deceptive Fox News Headlines?

Post by deacon blues » Sun Mar 06, 2022 7:53 pm

I occasionally listen to FOX new to try and balance my information, and they occasionally make good points, but a new trend is really discouraging me. :cry:

Tonight (3/6/2022) I am reading You tube headlines such as Breaking News- "Putins Makes Joe Resign" and "Putin Resign Done" as I scan my you tube leads tonight.
They are inaccurate, deceptive, and grammatically incorrect.
And the stories really don't follow the headlines. is this intentional?
What am I missing?
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

I misread the title. It isn't Fox, it is Newsmax. They sometimes add the word Fox prominently in their logo/headline. Wikipedia says they're trying to outfox FOX news. But essentially they appear to be untrustworthy, if only for the headlines.

Being untrustworthy seems like a well-researched ploy to lure Fox viewers.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Newsmax falls significantly below Drunk History as a reliable news source.
