It's a very short article, woman left her microchipped dog in a stroller after she was told it couldn't fly without a crate, and they intend to charge her.
There's nothing about race, gender, sexuality, age, no mention of anything that would immediately get identified in a typical left/right biased article. There's absolutely zero politicizing, so why would there be any concern for factuality?
I don't have a clue what fox news even looks like anymore (I don't really give a shit what outlet is hosting any given article, but I'm not going to actively looking for fox news articles, and I'm not prone to visiting righty communities that would post them), but clicking this and reading it gives me absolutely no indication that I need any grains of salt to go with it. I can't say the same for like 99% of the articles that get linked...
The "oh no... Fox... Lies!!! Everything is false!!! Beware!!!" Seems more like righty shit than lefty shit, so I'm gonna say something :)
Fox lies. They are world famous for it. This is not a sleight or an insult. It is not a commentary on weak or partisan journalism. It is a fact. They are liars. They have testified to that in court multiple times. That makes them a tabloid. They admit that in courtrooms. Their veracity should never, ever be assumed.
No one is picking on you. We are simply questioning the source, since the source itself admits to being questionable.
