    Fox is conservative STATE propaganda. No different to Russian or North Korean state propaganda. Regardless of the blatant bias, there is literally nothing stopping them from manufacturing this “poll” out of thin air.

      Fox 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.

        The US is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and Fox is one of its propaganda arms.

        It’s not state propaganda because the state, itself, is subordinate.

          You mean oligarchy, not a dictatorship, because a group of people hold power instead of one individual.

            A dictatorship isn’t always ruled by a single leader, it can be ruled by a group of leaders. In fact, in practice, every stable dictatorship is ruled by a clique rather than just a single dictator.

        I know this is about Fox, but I want to continue to share that neither is NPR. It is an independent nonprofit that operates independently of the government and gets less than 1% of it’s operaiting budget from federal sources.
