The conservative Fox News network has repeatedly promoted white nationalism, especially through its primetime opinion hosts. For one example, Tucker Carlson regularly smears immigrants, claiming they make the country "dirtier," and promotes the white supremacist "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory, which posits that non-white immigrants are deliberately funneled into the United States to suppress white people.

The network has also promoted conspiracy theories and hysteria regarding the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines, which have proven to be safe and effective at minimizing the spread of a virus that's killed more than 750 thousand Americans.

There have been increasing intersections between white nationalists and anti-vaxxers, especially in recent years.

An article on Fox News' website acknowledged these intersections—until that acknowledgment was edited out of the article.

Earlier this month, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists gathered in New York City to protest vaccine mandates. A featured speaker was Nick Fuentes of the white nationalist Groyper Movement.

As the Daily Beast's Will Sommer pointed out, Fox News' coverage of the incident originally featured the headline:

"Antifa members clash with White nationalists over COVID vaccine mandate outside NYC's Gracie Mansion."

The article also pointed out the Anti-Defamation League's distinction of the Groyper movement as a hate group.

Fuentes accused Fox News of using "ADL talking points" to smear him.

Just hours after Fuentes' criticism, the article's headline was edited to read:

"Antifa members clash with anti-vaccine protesters outside NYC's Gracie Mansion"

The article also removed any mention of the ADL distinction or of Fuentes' ties to the white nationalist movement.

Social media users soon cried foul.





Sadly, many weren't surprised.



Fuentes later bragged about Fox News' "stealth headline edit."

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

John Oliver Epically Drags Jesse Watters For Sharing Unverified Video Of Alleged Reflecting Pool Vandals On Fox News

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
