The European Union has fined Apple and Meta a combined €700 million ($797 million) in the first enforcement of its landmark digital competition law.

You know META... Meta owns and operates several prominent social media platforms and communication services, including Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Messenger and WhatsApp. Those things the left was using as their own person censorship platforms against Americans.

That puts my count so far up over $1.2B.

Still want to cry about FOX?

Which one would you like? Mutiples out there. Is Gallup OK? How about Pew Research?

"According to a 2013 Gallup poll, 94% of Fox viewers "either identify as or lean Republican".The 2019 Pew survey showed that among people who named Fox News as their main source for political and election news, 93% identify as Republicans."

5 facts about Fox News

While U.S. Democrats turn to a variety of outlets for political news, no source comes close to matching the appeal of Fox News for Republicans.

In the November 2019 survey, 71% of those who cited Fox News as their main source of political news gave Trump a very warm rating on a “feeling thermometer” ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 represents the coldest, most negative rating and 100 represents the warmest, most positive. Among all U.S. adults, just a quarter gave Trump a very warm rating (between 76 and 100).

Fox News' Incomparable Role on the Political Right | Brookings

"Fox News has an acceptance, a popularity it is better to say, among Republicans and conservatives," said Brookings Senior Fellow E.J. Dionne, Jr. during an event yesterday to discuss new survey research about Americans' attitudes toward immigration, foreign policy and the media. "Among liberals...

So is Fox lying about their viewership, or are the viewers lying about their political leanings?

Republicans =/= right wing

False equivalence.

You're really off target if you think right wingers watch Fox, but I get it, it's a cookie cutter talking point of your cult.

Ironically many lefties wear the "diversity" of outlets on the left as a badge of honor. Maybe they don't realize ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WAPO, etc all parrot the same talking points. Ironically, while (hypothetically) all right wingers could watch Fox, according to PEW research, only 65% of them trust Fox (according to Pew Research). The article is a little dated, but I suspect if they updated the numbers the trust Fox New figure would be lower than in 2020.

And Meta was doing the EU's bidding during Covid. That does say a lot.

Speall cheeker?

You are exaggerating.

No. That's the cool thing about math. 2x2 always equal 4.

Oh that's right... when you have been proved wrong you go round in circles and relive the past.

You have yet to prove me wrong about a topic discussed here.
The past is what shows that.

Ok, sure.

65% of all viewers. The polls said right-wingers put over 90% trust in what they see on Fox.

Do you know what a snowflake is? If Biden is being blamed it's because Biden phucked up.

Biden is not the POTUS. He did not implement any of Trump's 2025 Executive Orders.

Or are you trying to tell us Biden is just working Trump like a puppet, and Trump moves when the strings get pulled?

Explain how it's Biden's fault that the markets tanked instantly after Trump announced his stupidass tariffs.

Exactly. Use it.

No. That's the cool thing about math. 2x2 always equal 4.

Always? No, I think you are wrong about that. What if it is part of a mathematical problem where the end result is not 4?

You love to say that like it is a true statement. Denying that someone proved you wrong doesn't mean you were not proved wrong. It means you are a liberal.

Oh I am sorry... how long do you thin skins blame Trump when Biden was President... All 4 years and you are still doing it.

When the blame is accurate, it can be placed. You can repeat 10,000 times that Biden is at fault for the recession that occurred under Trump. It'll NEVER be true.

You can blame Trump for the post-recession inflation that occurred under Biden. It will ALWAYS be true.
