Honesty Wins: Fox News lists a significant White Nationalist as a Prominent Conservative Voice

Exactly what one would expect under the leadership of an admitted Nationalist who is, of course, White:

Ingraham then featured a graphic of “prominent voices censored on social media” that included Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer, Owens, Michelle Malkin, Dan Scavino, James Woods and Nehlen.

Nehlen is a notable inclusion as he’s a white nationalist so racist and anti-Semitic that he was kicked off Twitter and Gab. The Republican Party of Wisconsin even cut ties with him after his Twitter suspension, and a state party spokesman said he had “no place in the Republican Party.”

HuffPost was the first to confront Nehlen about his open embrace of explicit white nationalism back in 2017, and as of April 2018, The Daily Beast declared that he was becoming one of the highest-profile white nationalists in America.

Just some of his horrifying behavior includes his open support for the white supremacists who marched at the 2017 “Unite The Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where an attende drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters and killed anti-racist activist Heather Heyer; he also has a locked Telegram channel where he calls himself “Uncle Paul’ and “shares memes praising mass murderers as religious heroes.”

The site Angry White Men, a blog that tracks white supremacists, has long documented Nehlen’s history of racist and anti-Semitic posts on social media. A recent entry in April of this year involved a report on Nehlen arguing with another white supremacist about the best way to start a race war.

Exactly what we deal with on this board every day. Ignorant racist buffoons who deny being racist and then can't help giving proof.

So why'd you put it "on this board" then?

Fox News is now a full-on haven for the alt-right now that the alt-right is all in favor of the military industrial complex thanks to Trump. Fox News has both sides shaking hands because they know most "principled" repubs will go along with it. There aren't enough Amash's or Rand Paul's to counter it. They also have people like Ben Shapiro working overtime to deflect all anti-Semitism over to democrats so republicans like Nehlen can spew his filth.

Don't we wish that were so, alas the Murdoch sons are apparently somewhat liberal, a tragedy in the making.

Murdoch doesn't care about ideology. Murdoch cares about making money. If he can monetize the alt-right then he will do so.

If Murdock Sr, had not cared about ideology he would never have chosen to promote conservatism as it plainly is not the cash cow that libitardia is.

His younger son however, for shame!

James Murdoch, the son of media mogul and Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch, made the maximum possible donation to Democrat Pete Buttigeig‘s 2020 presidential campaign.
Despite his last name, James Murdoch is known as the more liberal of Rupert’s sons. His older and more conservative brother Lachlan took the reins this year of Fox News parent Fox Corporation — the new company left behind after the family’s sale of 21st Century Fox to Disney. James, meanwhile, left the media business in order to manage the family’s growing fortune.

Fox News has spent years patting themselves on the back for making more revenue than CNN and MSNBC. CNN and MSNBC have been competing with each other while Fox News has had the full share of the conservative audience. Your whole premise is laughable.

The money problems Fox News is having right now are advertisers leaving due to their anchors becoming more friendly to alt-right rhetoric. Advertisers are typically reliant on social media as it maximizes their profits yet all the alt-right can do is push the limits of social media's rules. When push comes to shove the advertisers will always side with social media because thats where the vast majority of their customers are. Fox News is learning the hard way that capitalism doesn't always favor the right.

Nobody cares about the ideologies of Murdoch's kids. They are probably sick and tired of all the Fox News propaganda within the Murdoch family that they've been pushed to the left.

Yes and this represents a very simple equation: If the Right was currently dominated by a positive message and a clear sense of ideals, there would be no need for such insanely overt propaganda, so overt that it is factually provable to be propaganda.

No need for all the lies, no need for the cult conspiracy theory element that is BALLOONING out of control right now, no need for the constant projection which is also out of control.

Lamest projection example: "No it's the democrats who are racist, now let me tell you an incomplete version of history..." Someone even tried this on here just this week, someone who SPECIFICALLY always says Liberals, but when telling the incomplete history SUDDENLY substitutes "Democrats" and talks about the old days of the KKK (pretty sure this was Wuchak).

Such twisted propaganda, but they don't realize that "lying by omission" IS AN ACTUAL THING, because they don't really get into ethics and think the world is simplistic, black and white.

Wow that's pretty symbolic, they see things black and white. Didn't intend the double meaning but I think maybe it was always there, since this is an American phrase I do believe.
