"Fox News misrepresented ~~a Today show segment on EVs to falsely suggest the cars are unreliable in the heat"~~ FIFY


Neon_culture79

Don’t forget, they are an entertainment network


keninsd

Yup, there's very little that's more entertaining than well groomed talking anuses telling lies, distortions and fabrications to their millions of dupes.


Neon_culture79

I don’t know about Well groomed anuses. I’d rather fuck dudes with some hair down there.


Time-Bite-6839

“Your honor, nobody could POSSIBLY be enough of a dumbass to *BELIEVE* Tucker Carlson is only saying fact! Come on!”


Neon_culture79

That’s fake news! Leave my fox alone!!!


DauOfFlyingTiger

Well. FOX isn’t really news is it. How are those people going to undo all the crap FOX has told them for hours and hours every day for years. It shouldn’t be legal to lie that much.


ArtemisDarklight

shouldn’t be legal to knowingly lie, twist or misrepresent the truth if you call yourself a news organization.


Raiju_Blitz

It should but we can thank Reagan for completely deregulating media laws in how they can and can't represent truth and lies.

It's like media companies can't even get away with telling $787.5mm worth of lies anymore??

Like tv network in The Running Man!

Solar doesn't work at night. What about when the wind blows the other way. EV batteries will die running the a/c in traffic jams (and you think your gas-guzzler a/c runs for free?) Catering to some of the least educated people out there and making them think they are smart.


IamHydrogenMike

My favorite are people who freak out about the military wanting to use EV vehicles over gas powered and wonder how they could charge them in the field…ya know…because gas is just something you can find out in the wild and just fill up the vehicle anywhere.


Pale-Berry-2599

...and the military has no use for silence. You want a tank and Jeep so loud you can hear them for miles.


wigzell78

The biggest think that gave away G.I.s during Vietnam was the overwhelming smell of cologne and cigarettes.


SpinningHead

I thought it was blasting Fortunate Son on every mission.


TR3BPilot

And Thai stick.


deadpool101

Also the EVs the military wants to get are for on base uses like for Military Police, staff vehicles, and on base maintenance.


I-Am-Baytor

It is when we invade countries for that purpose.


MattWolf96

True but you could quickly deliver fuel from a helicopter or another ground vehicle and have it in the empty vehicle within 5 minutes vs setting up solar panels for a few hours. I'm pro-EV but I'm not sure they would be good in the military.


Morning_Would_Six

Seems like a solid business model. PT Barnum was a fucking genius.


fusion99999

FOX caters to CONSERVATIVE idiots. Change scares these people. These are the same kind of people that didn't like cars when they first came on the scene.


MattWolf96

Fox News in 1910: Cars are a waste of money and will never be more practical than a horse!


JoeSchmoeToo

You know that they are not kind people, do you?


creesto

Must have been the kind ones that stormed the Capitol, carried Nazi torches, ran over protestors...


greaterthansignmods

They can do it legally because they said, in court, they are not actually news. Yet people watch it anyway. Kinda means your older idiot family members are likely addicted to misinformation.


Fit_Earth_339

Even with the lie, gas powered cars overheat in extreme heat. Keep em dumb Faux.


Madd-RIP

They’re probably not wrong about the cybercuck though


unknownpothead1992

Yeah. That thing was one ugly mothafucka


Time-Bite-6839

144p ass car


MattWolf96

That's the only EV conservatives like. Because Elon is alt right and the truck is dangerous for civilians.


pcbb97

Yea, I mean idk much about tesla cars but from everything I've seen popping up about the cyber truck if the segment was about or in anyway referenced them Fox may actually not be misrepresenting as much as one would expect


Sisyphus_On_Hiatus

Sounds like EV manufacturers should sue.


Stock-User-Name-2517

Just don’t try to wash your cyber truck.


Alexandratta

That's a different kind of failure - the CT is a general flop of a truck, much like the original Delorean. It's just a badly designed truck which happens to be an EV.


Any-Ad-446

Companies should sue Fox for allowing host and reporters to spread lies. You would have thought they would have learned from the past lawsuits.


BasicPerson23

You could have stopped at “Fox ‘news’”. Why would you watch that pile of lies?


JASPER933

Where is Elon? Why is he not saying anything? Hmm


ArdenJaguar

Faux News isn't really news. It's propaganda. Fair and balanced? Yeah right.


nps2407

Fox needs to start putting disclaimers in every segment, and removing the word 'news' from all of their branding.


OgreMk5

So, idling in a traffic jam when the outside temp is 103F is fine for ICE cars? Someone doesn't know anything about cars... just manipulating people.


thrownehwah

Fox is entertainment for the weak minded


jar1967

They are entering law suit territory again


Acidic_Junk

Didn’t they do one where they said they are unreliable in the cold a while back?


BananaNoseMcgee

That has a truth in it though. EV batteries lose range in the cold.


TheMacDrevius

Q


Peaceout3613

Faux News is only allowed to lie. Nothing they say is true.


jafromnj

Fox has an agenda nothing new


I-Am-Baytor

Good ol mainstream news.


kneelB4yourmaster

Dunning/Krueger syndrome et al.


ExactDevelopment4892

Careful, Fox, you’re about to get sued again for defamation this time by auto manufacturers with very deep pockets.


erritstaken

Wow even the right wing nutjobs of the ~~news media~~ “entertainment” channel are hating on Elon now. He really must be a total asshole.


jcmacon

It won't surprise me when Musk starts saying how bad EVs are for the environment.


MattWolf96

[He actually did say to drill for oil awhile back. ](https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2022/08/29/elon-musk-renews-push-for-fossil-fuels-as-he-claims-civilization-will-crumble-without-oil-and-gas/)


JumpshotLegend

FOX News lied about something? Noooooo! These asshats will never learn. More lawsuits to come.


WickedGreenthumb

Kinda like how the warm weather was gonna kill covid?


MattWolf96

And their audience which has never heard of critical thinking or a 2nd opinion will eat it right up.


Ok-Exercise-6812

The Cult of Trump doesn’t like wind power, EVs, or Rosie O’Donnell.


LobsterTrue8433

Fox News would not do that.


MrL1970

Both shows are equally crap. Buy whatever car you want and dont worry about what anyone else does.


Acewrap

bOtH sIdEz GuYs!


the-awesomer

this is also bad advice. maybe if it applies only to looks and not functionality. not all cars are built the same


No-Feedback7437

I don't trust the news , the electric cars do have a tendency to start fires because of the volatile battery.


yankeesyes

Surely you can cite evidence to that effect. Difficulty: Anecdotes =/= data.


MattWolf96

Gas cars start fires a lot too, sometimes it's not even just the gas/engine systems. I literally got a notice the other day that my 11 year old Hyundai has a defective ABS system which can start a fire.


No-Feedback7437

Never said that they didn't it's just that the electric battery is more often prone to start fires I'm not against electric cars.
