Or maybe that should be down to its name.

Fox News fell for a series of AI-generated videos this weekend in which fake SNAP beneficiaries bitterly complain and threaten to “ransack” grocery stores, then rewrote the post and acknowledged the error.
Posted midafternoon on Halloween, the original headline reads: “SNAP Beneficiaries Threaten to Ransack Stores Over Government Shutdown,” according to the Internet Wayback Machine. After realizing the videos were fakes, Fox rewrote the post with the headline “AI Videos of SNAP Beneficiaries Complaining About Cuts Go Viral.”
The lead paragraph of the original post reads: “SNAP beneficiaries have expressed outrage on social media over the government shutdown that could affect their grocery benefits starting next month, and some are even threatening to ransack stores if food stamp payments don’t go through starting Nov. 1.”Where were all the fact checkers, reporters, and editors? Were too afraid of losing their jobs to say this story is bogus?
Did they care?
Or are there fact checkers, reporters, and editors at Fox, or are there just propagandists?
If you watch or listen to Fox, you are being played for a sucker. You are the mark, the patsy, the prey, the dupe, the victim.
