minus-squareteft@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 days agoFox isn’t state media. I dislike the mendacious fuckers as much as the next guy but let’s try and stick to facts. The US has very few state media organizations. Voice of America is one. Radio Free Europe is another. Fox is an independent organization, if they were state media the Biden admin would have control of their news. That obviously isn’t the case.
