Can we stop using the term "Fox News"? [View all]
It is not a news organization. It is a RW propaganda tool. Why legitimize their claim to offer real news by including the word "news" in their name?
Sure, we can say "Faux News," but that will never catch on outside of left wing circles. I'd like to see new terminology that is accurate, not inflammatory, and not obviously partisan, just accurate, so it develops mainstream usage.
Just call it "Fox TV." It is accurate, but does not support the illusion that it is a news agency.
I'd like to see Fox TV become the widespread, common usage term in everyday speech.
