Summary

The discussion begins fair; opinion based, until Fox rebrands it as inconsequential “proof the gays have gone insane”. This is Performance Art dressed up as Compassionate News, End World TImes in the headline. Fox calls it “balance.” bAIsed Media calls it a miracle.

Bias Breakdown

Framing Bias

The headline is simple: “Gay journalist says LGBTQ movement has gone from civil rights success to madness”. it begins empathetic, (“gay journalist”) and ends with fox’s token bait and switch, ending in condemnation (“madness”) - taking identity politics and squeezing it to fit fox’s right leaning framework. translation? Fox discovered a unicorn - and immediately signed it up for a 5 year contract.

Emotional Bias

the article feigns intellectual consideration by selling catharsis to its readers - basically saying, “see!? even they think it’s gone too far!” It’s personal bias validation disguised as insightful journalism. If there was a pride float for confirmation bias, we found it - “slay girllll!”

Omission Bias

statistics aren’t useful when they don’t fit the narrative. The reality? not all LGBTQ Americans think alike and the boring statistics show that about 15% of LGBTQ voters identify as Republican — contradictory to fox’s attempt to assuage in this piece, diversity of opinions within the community is hardly shocking, it’s basic data. (Williams Institute, UCLA). When one person agrees with you, it’s not data, it’s chic decor.

Agenda Bias

As with all Biased media, examples are only examples. effectively implemented as convenient arguments. Fox loves to hate on “identity politics”… most of the time - until that identity agrees with them. suddenly, their position shifts and it’s a civil rights movement. In the land of sexual identity optics, one gay journalist to rule them all.

Sensationalism Bias

All culture wars need hot button buzzwords and madness does the trick perfectly. fox knows their readers love outrage more than anything; and most importantly outrage sells at 8.pm better than subtlety does.

The bAIsed Take

Fox took one gay journalist’s personal opinion and transitioned it as an example of a movement imploding. creating outrage with spectacle dressed up as dialogue validates what is already in their reader’s minds. they took a complex topic and turned it into a palatable eggplant for their viewers who live off of self validation. the deep irony? 15% of Lgbtq voters are republican; meaning fox didn’t just find one gay dude who shares their opinion, they found a statistical inevitability. hardly breaking news.
