Nope, re-read what i said. If its not actually news it shouldn't be labeled as such. Fox isn't legally allowed to identify as news so why can they still carry the name?
violetraine.bsky.social (@violetraine.bsky.social) reply parent
Because the Republicans arent respecting it right now. Meanwhile, fox "news" is actively spreading misinformation and claiming it as news. Its harmful to society. At the very least it needs to be forced to be rebranded/labeled and carry a big fat sign stating its not actually news.

“The idea that Denmark or Sweden are on balance somehow less safe or riskier places to travel than the United States is objectively absurd.” Honestly, the U.S. should be rated orange (avoid non-essential travel) for BIPOC and cisgender LGBQ+ people; and red (avoid all travel) for trans people.

People need to realize that the New York Times is going to pivot to "self-ID" now, essentially to build up the next fight, a total end of all legal recognition for transgender people. A handful of states have already started passing these laws, and it is absolutely what they are going for next.
