Some in the far right — including True the Vote partner & onetime Trump admin official Gregg Phillips — attacked Fox News for joining outlets in a WH boycott in response to the admin bans of Politico, CNN, & MS NOW, calling Fox "Globalist Deep Staters" who should "go to jail for voter suppression."

Left: QAnon figure MJTruth: "Fox News says they won’t cover President Trump’s events anymore, but they sure will cover Kamala Harris.. 

Fox News can kick rocks"

Right: QAnon figure Burning Bright: "In 2016, it was common knowledge among the newly-formed MAGA faithful that FOX was not our friend.

They doubled down with their role in the Fake Election of 2020.

Now, FOX is leading the charge AGAINST Trump's banning of CNN.

They're NOT secret white hats, and never have been."Left: Qanon figure The SCIF: "CNN, MSNOW, and Politico spent over a DECADE lying about and belittling President Trump.

They totally deserve what they've gotten.

Fox News saw it all happen.

But now, instead of standing up for Trump and spreading the truth, Fox News is standing by CNN, et Al.

They are all the same."

Right: QAnon figure Pepe Deluxe: "Perfect timing!

Just when the unAmerican Fox News comes out of the closet with CNN"Roger Stone: "FOX shows their true colors. Not fair and balanced.-Globalist Deep Staters"Gregg Phillips post on left: "they should all go to jail for voter suppression…

Fox News joins rival networks in suspending pooled coverage after White House turns away CNN"

Gregg Phillips post on right: "@FoxNews

Putting your thumb on the scale of a federal election during voting is wrong and irresponsible.

In fact, dropping the White House proves your bias. 

FCC should pull your license.

You’ve always been cowards. Now the world understands you are really communists sympathizers.

The funniest thing about Taylor Lorenz is she is a full three years too late. She could have genuinely been a star on the right in 2024, now she's begging for table scraps from Bari Weiss.

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

the republicans are wide open on several fronts, historically unpopular president, unpopular war, record high gas. any dem throwing trans people under the bus at this moment is doing it because they want to. not like they need to, do they. even if it worked as a vote winner, which it doesn't

social media is not "just wanting to communicate with your friends". And Taylor knows it. This is a deliberate denial of basic reality, and a large body of science on how algorithmic social media can harm kids in particular.

Guardian US@us.theguardian.com · last wk.

Can social media be addictive? @taylorlorenz.bsky.social says no. “You wanting to communicate and chat with your friends every day is not an addiction,” says Lorenz. “And to frame it that way is incredibly harmful and anti-science.”
