Why is FoxNews So Often Obsessed and Fixated on the Murder of a White Person.

No different how similar stories are ignored by CNN. Remember the van attack on Christmas parade? most outlets had forgotten it.

I understand why major media ignored the Black Raggie-guy killing all those people at the Christmas parade in Wisconsin.

Just like I understand why the major media ignored "Karma" taking out the Capitol Police Officer in March 2021, when they learned the driver was a Black student of Louis Farrakhan's teachings.

I think that's part of it yes,

We really do have it great here in the united states. But humans love drama. We especially love drama when we ourselves aren't caught up in it.

Profits. Clicks. And views.

the united states is majority white. Fox news viewers are majority white.

And it is human nature to sympathies with your own race more than other races.

The truth is the fox owners used algorithms to find out what kind of story's get the most views. And white death story's get more views than black, brown , or asian death story's.

It's not so much racism as it is greedy people taking advantage of human nature for profits.

Same with the other networks. We see more story's about black people being abused on cnn because that kind of story gets more views there.
The same story on fox would not get that amount of views just like the story of the cornfield murder wouldn't get as many views on cnn.

Agreed.

Except that the ratings bonanza is so large that no algorithms are even necessary.

Still doesn't make it right.

I for one, would like to see a LOT more honest coverage of the hellish life inside democrat urban areas, and that mostly means more coverage of non-white victims and perpetrators.

It annoys me. I turn on XM-radio in the car to hear the latest news. MSNBC is broadcasting the usual "We're closing in on Trump" trash. FoxNews is broadcasting a News Briefing about a single individual murdered in California...where many murders occur every blessed day.

You still haven't figured it out yet? You still think of it in the way it used to be, but not the way it is now.

Once upon a time, it was about 'News'. Now it is nothing more than another TV Show. It is still packaged differently, to give it the appearance of actual 'News', but that's all. Once you get past that outward packaging, it's just another TV show whose goals are simply to get the highest amount of views possible at a low cost to the Network.

There were 2 anchors here in Chicago who quit in recent years, because they didn't like how the Director ordered the daily news stories. If there was a video, like a car running over a fire hydrant and crashing into a fish market, it was the #1 story, even though not a soul was injured.

Profit generation is the only metric.

Every single news website and station will only run a story if it brings profit. And they will only run that story for as long as they can continue to profit from it.

This is one of the big problems with capitalism. It creates this kind of thinking in business practices.
It's especially harmful when it happens to the news. How do we fix this? Make all news into a non profit somehow? I really don't know.

I don't mind the stories. It's the making them so important, that a major announcement of something that affects all of us, is not carried, because a single human was killed.

But I guess it's just me. Maybe I'm just "jaded" because they don't carry individual murders on our local (Chicago) news any longer (for the most part), because they're not news that affects the majority of us. So, I understand that Black, White, Chinese, etc., individuals will be killed every day.

But a report on inflation rising 8% DOES affect me and my family. If there's a briefing on it, I want to hear it on FoxNews as the briefing occurrs. (CNN and MSNBC won't cover it due to Democrats being the cause.)

This is one of the problems with fascists.

The solution, as it has always been, is to remove the artificial barriers to entry and government interference for alternative views and let the free market do what it does best.

THAT would be capitalism, and that is not what we have now.

How can we make sure NBC Universal (NBC Network) does NOT PROFIT from broadcasting the Winter Olympics from CHINA next month?

I'm going to e-mail each advertiser letting them know that my family will be boycotting their product for a few months...or years...even if I don't use that product. (They don't know)

I lived in republican controlled urban areas all my life and it was hellish all around.

I don't think hellish has anything to do with political ideals in those circumstances. And has more to do with the capitalist system , human nature, and the design of said urban areas. Because I've also seen awesome repub and liberal urban areas.

They have to pretend that it's important so that people will take notice. They have to do this so that they can keep their jobs. It's just how the system works.

And if you think dems are the sole or main cause of inflation than you just don't know what is really going on or how that all works.

And also I just googled cnn inflation and got tons of recent stories talking about it. This whole the left news don't talk about such and such has been proven wrong many times to you.

Yup, and add pandering to the mix. Pillow dude and the blond bimbos plainly wearing the cross on the necklace less (which I have no problem with) and country music on the back ground morning talk, no problem either. But it’s obviously targeting certain groups of white Midwestern/southern/northern people. I’m one of them folk and can see right through their crap. Fox and friends, ugh.

This is missing the mark. If you think the news propaganda, from shilling for every major war, to pushing the public into Covid tyranny, is just about profit, you need to think deeper.

CNN is often operating at a deficit and below the red line, with abysmal ratings.

There is far more to this than solely media profits. All of these outlets are owned by far larger corporations, six I believe. Generally speaking, they are being used as comms arms for power alliances, and as Noam Chomsky would have said to "manufacture the consent" of the governed.

Yes, they may bicker here and there, but as Glenn Greenwald would say they seem to mystically come together on major issues, from covid to war.

Name one democrat urban area that isn't hellish right now.

Or one 'republican' controlled area that even comes close to chicago, detroit, baltimore, los angeles, san fransisco, etc.


I'd like to know if your claim has any merit at all before applying the 'absurd' label again.

I agree the murders are real. I'm just wondering why FoxNews chooses to periodically make the murder of a White person and that person's family, the most important thing for a time.

The more attractive the victim..seem to get attention, if you are not attractive..crickets. Seems like life in general

Pretty white girls for whatever reason get bigger ratings. Fox is also aware of where their ratings come from. Had to edit my original, didn't read it properly.

More White People watch CNN and MSNBC than Fox 😀

Don't be a stupid dumbbell 🤓

How many more murders, rapes, and strong armings happened compared to Democrat controlled areas near by ? 😎

Can you post the CNN financial statements for the last 10 years? 😎

What is this FIXATION Fox News has over certain deaths of White individuals? White people are killed every day in this country, but there are some that Fox News picks up on and follows to the end of the Earth.

Good topic. S&F

I think these stories are singled out and run this way ... to generate a little fear in their target audience. A little warning: This could happen to you. You could be victimized the same way.

It's why crime rates drop around communities that fixate on forensic cop shows. It makes people afraid. And people loves theyselves some doom porn.

The FOX Audience is predominantly White Conservatives , It's Logical for them to Cover Murders they feel there Audience is most empathetic with .

And If FOX does not cover it no MSM outlets will.
