As if the anti-vaxxers watch MSM? They only watch Fox. My guess is that the number of anti-vaxxers has multiplied five to 50 times the pre-pandemic level. That increase being the result of politicizing masks and then vaccines by Fox talking heads.

The video is bullshit. Long on allegations with near zero facts.

Do you think Fox isn't part of the MSM?

@RoboGraham Yes, I do not include Fox as being part of the MSM. I consider MSM to include the original NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN. Fox is NOT mainstream, being even more wacky and slanted than RT. Although MSM outlets are horribly slanted, Fox and RT are so much worse.

@altschmerz I absolutely agree with you that MSM sucks. However, I would also say that Fox sucks much worse. The vaccine controversy is a typical conspiracy theory, but MSM does not give conspiracy theories nearly as much air-time as does Fox. I still suspect that anti-vaxxers are getting their bad information from Fox. MSM may have provided bad info in the past as detailed in the video, but these were sensationalistic segments notorious for their slipshod reporting. The video went back several decades to detail MSM's sins vs the current news programs of the MSM vs Fox. Did the video mention Fox once? Doesn't that seem more than a little biased?

@racocn8

How can you consider fox to not be mainstream when it's the network that gets the most views?

@roboGraham The extremity of Fox's content and fondness for conspiracy theories and Russian propaganda. It's the difference between a newspaper and a tabloid.

@racocn8

The other networks engage in peddling conspiracy theories as well. If Fox is the equivalent of a tabloid, which it is, it's just news entertainment of the worst kind, the same applies to CNN and the rest of them.

Or decades of the Right claiming we couldn't do anything about gun violence, poverty, global warming, etc.
