The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

In review, FNC publishes stories with emotionally loaded headlines such as Biden says ‘MAGA Republicans’ threaten democracy as he and Dems crank up anti-Trump rhetoric..." MBFC

Thanks Lapsody, this fact stuff sure is hard to grasp for a simpleton deplorable such as myself, so help me understand.....

Yikes, Fox news publishes emotionally loaded headlines like Biden says ‘MAGA Republicans’ threaten democracy. It is no wonder that the experts at MBFC rated Fox News as biased right with headlines like that.

However I have two questions that I hope you can answer that may help me to better understand the fact checking process...

1) Is a Fox News score affected when their emotionally charged headline is substantiated by an approved source?

2) Should Fox News move their emotionally charged content from the headline to the body like CNN?

“Let there be no question: Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy. And I will always defend, protect, and fight for our democracy. That’s why I'm running,” he said at a Broadway theater last week.
