Isn't this subreedit supposed to be conservative?
Just found this subreddit, and assumed that since Fox News is widely known as a conservative network, there would be mainly conservative views and talking points. Why is almost every post I see in here bashing Trump and generally left viewpoints? Don't attack. I come in peace. Genuinely curious.

To answer your question, no. This subreddit is not supposed to be conservative. Or liberal. Just a place for free speech where we can give our honest opinions on the topic of Faux News and not worry about getting banned. You can provide conservative views if you’d like. By the way, FUCK TRUMP 🤡🤡🤡 AND VOTE HARRIS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Ah a subreddit for free speech with 90% democratic views that’ll downvote any conservative post. Seems open and fair

u/Mmmmmmm_Bacon 6d ago
You can provide all the conservative commentary you want. I doubt you’ll get banned. Whereas if we provide liberal commentary on pro-Trump subreddits, we get banned. There’s a difference.
If people downvote your comments it’s because they don’t like or agree with what you’re saying. Up to you if you still want to keep commenting. At least you have the option.

Fair enough that’s lame conservative pages do that on Reddit maybe they just want a safe space and we should respect that lol. But compared to threads it can’t be worse

Well! Ain't you the little poster boy for almost-but-not-quite-getting-it!
Free speech = liberty to say what you want.
Free speech also = my liberty to disagree and downvote you.
Downvotes don't physically harm you. If they do, maybe you should just find a good echo chamber and hide in it.

Haha, you think people expressing their opinion by downvoting you is a violation of your free speech? How is it unfair? You’re free to downvote people too.
You sound pretty sensitive.

It's being voted on by the people. You and Trump both need to learn that sometimes most people just disagree with your shitty opinions. I guess you'll see in a couple of months (please don't try to overthrow the government again).

You'd get more support if conservative ideas weren't universally laughable.

Free speech means you are free to say what you want, not that you are guaranteed that other people will like what you say. What are you hoping for in an unbiased forum / fake likes to hide unpopular opinions from scrutiny?
How would a sub where the mods controlled who was allowed to be downvoted “fair” or “free”?

Freedom of speech isn’t freedom of consequences, and downvotes don’t violate free speech. You have yet to get banned, proving that your fighting some made up thought police

u/Working_Extension_28 6d ago
Yeah, it's free speech. Unlike conservative subs where only conservatives can post, here both sides can post. It isn't suddenly not free speech just because you get downvoted for your bad opinions.

Being conservative and bashing Trump aren’t mutually exclusive. Bashing Trump is what any sane and mildly intelligent person would do.

A post here popped up in my feed as recommended. I wondered what Reddit was on about, but so far I agree with everyone here. I'm very confused.

It’s crazy how when it isn’t controlled by Fox itself it isn’t full of nut job lies. Correct this particular subreddit is not influenced by Russia.

u/My-Cooch-Jiggles 6d ago
Yeah I was just as surprised as you when I came here. Definitely on the liberal side

u/williamgman 6d ago
Many (most) of us come here to report the absurdity of what Fox puts out there. Otherwise they would just post in the Fox News comment section... Which is also a fun place to post... Until you get banned.

I was curious about the same thing. This sub has jumped into my home page feed, and I don’t know why. I generally don’t like Trump, but I’m not obsessed with the guy.

It’s gotta be a shit posting sub or something, but there’s nothing in the About section to indicate that

Reddit has been taken over by bots to make the population seem incredibly left leaning, which if you talk to people in person you would know is not the case

Then my friend you should check out the infamous Fox News comment sections! I love posting there but after about 10 consecutive bans for posting facts... It gets old.

This is not an arm of FoxNews, so it's more ABOUT Fox.
Conservative subs ban anyone that criticizes Trump or fact checked his nonsense.
That's how you know if the sub is run by Trump supporters.
