“Gender affirming care” was replaced with “sex change” or “sex reassignment” in at least 19 articles.
jadedctrl ( @jadedctrl@sopuli.xyz ) English59•1 year agoJesus, this is just about as blatant as you can get. I honestly can’t imagine how people can eat up such clearly dehumanizing politics and not get a bad taste in their mouth…
Here’s how you can tell if you’re the baddy: Do you support policies to spite or “own” others? Do you think, “fuck ‘em, I don’t care,” “they’re disgusting,” or “they’ve gotta be taught a lesson?”
Then you’re probably the baddy, stop it! Dehumanization, even casually, is the root of all evil.
It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re wrong, obviously — you might’ve stumbled into being right for the wrong reasons — but wow, is it a huge red flag!
EuphoricPenguin ( @EuphoricPenguin22@normalcity.life ) English20•1 year agoI wish more people would understand the value of letting people make their own life choices, even if you disagree with them.
rhythmisaprancer ( @rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social ) 15•1 year agoI think this why it became so important for people in this camp to establish the whole grooming whatnot. To their listeners/readers, they are not dehumanizing, they are saving 😐
HaleyHalcyon ( @HaleyHalcyon@kbin.social ) 1•1 year agoWhen Pride Parades are chanting “we’re here, we’re q****, we’re coming for your children”, you can’t blame grooming accusers for believing that. 🤢
Cerbero ( @Cerbero@kbin.social ) 10•1 year agoI thought this country was about freedom and freedom to be who you want.
Username02 ( @Username02@kbin.social ) 11•1 year agoIt’s freedom in the sense that you are free to own slaves set up your own church and stop paying taxes to the British empire.

ericjmorey ( @ericjmorey@beehaw.org ) English9•1 year agoDo you think, “fuck ‘em, I don’t care,” “they’re disgusting,” or “they’ve gotta be taught a lesson?”
I often think this way about Fox News, and Health Insurance Companies, and Gab, and kiwifarms
Noreia ( @Noreia@lemmy.one ) English48•1 year agoIs it even legal for news media to misquote someone, especially an elected official?
BourbonLaser ( @BourbonLaser@kbin.social ) 33•1 year agoI can’t speak to the legality, but it sure sounds like they violated the terms and agreement in place with AP repeatedly. I wonder what recourse AP has and if they could choose to disallow their content entirely on Fox? It seems like most news organizations get a majority of reporting from AP. I can only imagine the detrimental impact to Fox News if that came to pass.
ZapBeebz ( @ZapBeebz@beehaw.org ) 12•1 year agoI mean, it’s not like anyone goes to Fox for real news anyways. I doubt any of their userbase would complain.
exohuman ( @exohuman@fedi196.gay ) 19•1 year ago DrPop ( @DrPop@lemmy.one ) 9•1 year agoThey’ll just spin it as liberal woke media doing blahdeda.
ArtZuron ( @ArtZuron@beehaw.org ) English13•1 year agoIt does sound like it could be defamation again, which they’d probably lose again to in court. They knowingly misquoted information.
gerowen ( @gerowen@kbin.social ) 11•1 year agoThey’re not a “news” organization. They’re corporate media, entertainment. They even lost one of their certifications as a “trusted news source” for blatantly lying and regurgitating internet memes without checking their sources.
hazel 🤷🏻♀️🏳️🌈 ( @iamhazel@beehaw.org ) 12•1 year agoPlease share the source for your claim about certification? My searching left me nothing but a snopes article debunking similar claims.
ouigol ( @ouigol@beehaw.org ) 5•1 year agoIronic
DrPop ( @DrPop@lemmy.one ) 7•1 year agoThat’s great and all, but their behavior and actions are that of a news agency regardless, so wouldn’t they have to face the same scrutiny as a news agency?
Zasha ( @Zasha@kbin.social ) 8•1 year agoThey were even inconsistent in the changes in their own articles, ha
thegreekgeek ( @thegreekgeek@kbin.social ) 7•1 year ago…are we really that surprised at this point though?
exohuman ( @exohuman@fedi196.gay ) 4•1 year ago@superflippy we should sue Faux News for libel.
ArtZuron ( @ArtZuron@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year agoThey already got baked by that defamation suit that saw tucker leave, so it wouldn’t be as hard to do it again.
