It's not so much MAGATs. How can the news allow people to say stuff like this to the public.

The real issue is our quality expectations to the news distribution

Its because its not news. They have the title of news outlet. However they are a conservative commentary channel, and they don't consider facts, neutrality or decour.

Even they have admitted that they are not news: "In 2020, Fox News successfully defended a defamation lawsuit involving Tucker Carlson by arguing that his program was primarily entertainment rather than factual reporting"
