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?

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.

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