Fox News appears to have removed their DOW ticker in a pattern for the company, choosing to block out the steep drop in DOW points after Trump’s tariff announcement
Yeah yeah yeah!!! Gimme that propaganda!!! Gimme that denial!!! Happy happy ignorance!!!
It’s called “Soma”
This is such classic Fox bullshit. I’m reminded of FOX News changing the Party ID of Republicans they don’t like to “Democrat”.

fox is pretty comedic unintentionally
That wouldn’t stop the market crashing.
If a stock falls in the market when there’s no ticker watching, does it go red?
*and your fan base doesn’t have tangible investments
Well, if you don’t look at the problem, it goes away. It’s not rocket surgery!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
“If we don’t record COVID numbers, there will be nothing to report!”
“If we don’t track the number of people dying by gun violence, there will be nothing to report.”
“If we don’t count the number of people dying in our overheated prisons, there will be nothing to report.”
their audience has already proven themselves to be suckers… that’s some prime pixels there.
Suckers and losers-trump
Remember when the republicans were pro-business? Now what the hell do they represent? Tin foil hat psychos? Maybe they’ve tricked working class americans that they are somehow on their side but distracting them with the boogey man of illegal immigrants taking their jerbs but the reality is they’ll be getting laid off and paying more harder than ever. Education and R&D are being trashed, the things that businesses claim are crucial to progress and an educated workforce. Add on top of that no improvement in healthcare and now public health has been gutted and they’ve essentially been thrown into the gutter. They are so distracted by trivial political distractions though that they can’t even see how badly they are being shoved aside.
Bless your soul
Oooor, just install an adblocker.

That’s why I was able to create this clean screenshot in the first place ;)
Aha! So How did you know it was “ad-ridden” in the first place? Checkmate, liberal!
Is this serious? Did I join a crazy instance?
You joined an anarchist instance. Obviously I’m joking here cmon
In what ways did you signal that was sarcasm? Some anarchists are also not smart.
Regardless, all is ok bc you clarified.
“checkmate,liberal” is so on-the-nose it’s absurd that you didn’t get it also it’s a very well known sarcasm trope.
Here is just the text for anyone who cares for their eyeballs
It appears as though FOX News removed their DOW ticker as it dropped 1,228 points today, following President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements.
A screenshot on X showcased the moment. In a clip, Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s former press secretary, was on Fox speaking today as the DOW sank, and the screen was missing its usual DOW ticker.
It’s not the first time the conservative news giant has done so, as others have recorded them getting rid of their DOW ticker pretty much anytime there was a significant loss. There’s a clip of Trump on in August 2024, and as the DOW fell, the FOX ticker was removed.
It comes after Trump had to be ‘guided back’ on stage following his tariff-touting speech after ‘forgetting’ to sign his executive order, sparking health fears after yet another strange moment.
Buzzfeed reported the same back in March, when stocks first fell after Trump announced his original tariff plans.
Users on X responded with their usual: jokes about Fox news. “Fox News logic is if the ticker’s gone, the crash didn’t happen,” writes one user. Another laughed, “Good thing I developed object permanence when I was a baby.”
“Naturally, they would prefer that their audience remain oblivious to the impact Donald Trump’s tariffs are having on them,” said another.

Yesterday, President Trump announced far-reaching new tariffs on nearly all U.S. trading partners. The Trump tariff hikes included another 34% tax on imports from China, which was already looking at a 20% tariff hike, bringing the total tariffs on Chinese products to 54%, as per NBC.
Trump also added a 20% tax on products from the European Union, a 10% baseline tax on imports from all countries, 46% on Vietnam, and 32% on Taiwan. All in all, 180 countries were on the tariff list.
The new price hikes could be a painful transition for many Americans as middle-class essentials such as housing, autos, and clothing are expected to become more costly, while disrupting the alliances built to ensure peace and economic stability. The lack of faith has now transferred to the stock market, which has been in a tailspin since the announcement.

The S&P 500 was down 3.7% in afternoon trading, more than other major stock markets, and at its bottom in the morning was on track for its worst day since COVID struck in 2020. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1,228 points, or 2.9%, as of 1:08 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 4.8% lower.
Everything from crude oil to Big Tech stocks to the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies fell. Even gold, which has hit records recently as investors sought something safer to own, pulled lower.
Some of the worst hits walloped smaller U.S. companies, and the Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks dropped 5.5% to pull it more than 20% below its record.

Hey Donald. Blink twice if you’re OK
It doesn’t matter. One thing the voters agreed upon resoundingly in 2024 was that a non-functioning brain is a-okay.
Maybe even this guy realised it is not a good idea. Ah no, he’s a dunce.
Is the screenshot with an adblocker? Because if that is the normal site, it seems fine to me tbh.
It is with adblockers:
- Pi-Hole (home-network-wide)
- uBlock origin (AddIn for Firefox android)
I just tried it without and it is afwul. I had 5 popups (1 google login - why???, 2 newsletter, 1 video, 1 full page ad). Wtf.
To be fair, I wouldn’t be surprised if, had they not removed the ticker, they’d gotten complaints about anti-Trump bias.
Not saying they were justified, but at this point, their viewers are as radical as they are.
Ah, peak Trumpism. “If we ignore it, it goes away!”
A British owned tabloid posing as an Irish paper reporting on American news. There aren’t many worse sources.
A shame on the memory and legacy of Michael Collins and James Connolly.
Ostrich mode, activate!
Trust in the Trump! His Orange Grace, for He is playing 47-D chess!
If his supporters believe in chem-trails, vaccines causing autism and maybe a flat earth then I’m not going to waste any energy looking to them for any sign of self awareness and to reconsider their choices.
Yeah. I see some people trying to talk down to those of us who just call them fucking idiots. “Well, is that any way to get them to see your point of view? How does that help any?”
My brother in Christ, we’ve tried doing that for the LAST 8 YEARS. If they haven’t gotten any more wise since then, and in fact doubled down for round 2, what the fuck else can you do but call the dumbass duck a dumbass duck?!
Yes, newsblonds, without the stock ticker your faces do look fat.
The new Republican policy. Put your idiotic head in the sand.
it seems to me like the people should have no problem coordinating an attack on fox news that would take them off the air. i feel like that’s an easy one to do that doesn’t require a leader, just anonymously post maps detailing the infrastructure of their studios, where security guards are posted, any known passkeys, etc.
that would take them off the air.
Not sure how hard that would be. Their disaster recovery plan would have to be pretty bad not to be able to switch to another geographic location in a hot minute. And if they’re still in Rockefeller, you’d probably have a hell getting past the elevators without them shutting it down. They probably have backup satellite uplink so you can’t just knock out their fiber.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for another Max Headroom, but I think we need to shut them down with fairness in broadcasting laws, or, gallows, just sayin’
well good luck with the regulations part. i’ve lost all faith in lawful good actions.
If this hypothetical were to come to pass I personally wouldn’t call it an attack, so much as a day of love where nothing was done wrong.
no offense, but can we please stop with the goose and gander comparisons? it just feels like trying to slam dunk for internet points. we all know they’re hypocrites. let’s just focus on solutions rather than finger pointing.
Eh. I don’t care about Internet points, I just think it’s funny. And even though we’re on Lemmy we should probably still be careful about out-and-out calling for attacks against a rogue president’s favorite news station.
We can go politely ask them to stop broadcasting. In numbers.
I wonder if I could help it keep going by pulling my entire 401k
I had to do that during his last administration. Now I’m going for broke
Don’t visit this site without a great adblocker.
There is only 1. uBlock Origin.
Shmaybe a little AdGuard on crippled devices (e.g. iOS)
I use both on Android and am as happy as can be!
Orion is an iOS browser that lets you use uBlock Origin (along with many other Firefox and Chrome extensions). I can’t speak for their ownership though, I have no idea if it’s a good company or not.
I heavily recommend Wipr 2.0 for anyone using iOS! It takes care of cookie banners, auto scrolling videos, and ads and all that stuff.
I bet once the markets come back up after he lifts those tariffs again, the ticker will be back.

There’s no coming back from this. You are delusional.
You came back from the last Republican tariffs caused chaos from 1930. I never said recovery would happen in our lifetimes.
Just in time for the next election
Last time (1930) it took down the US economy, you threw out the Republicans and President Hoover, and the Democrats under Roosevelt had to fix the mess, which finally happened about 1934. Since then it is textbook established that tariffs are a stupid idea, but sadly the only historical books the orange turd reads are “Mein Kampf”…
This modern tariff-induced catastrophe is different from the one in 1930 in one important aspect: Back then, the reliance on foreign trade was way, way smaller than today. If the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 put the US into a serious recession (with still lower tariffs than Trumps!), guess what will happen today in an America that cannot produce screws, bolts and nuts; transistors, resistors, and capacitors; and about every piece of mass-produced item, being it plastic, metal, or whatever.
As an old fart I’ve never lived under an administration that I considered a real threat. Even Reagan, who was raged against by the left and beloved by the right, at least had some restraint and considered his actions. Each president did something that I didn’t like but I never felt like psychopaths had taken over and were just letting their whims and manias run rampant. Their personalities also felt reasonable and at the very least respectful of others. I also never felt that a large chunk of my fellow citizens were a threat to democracy. The evangelicals were always that way but felt like a fringe group before.
Hell of a thing, ain’t it? I remember the tail end of Regan as a child. I come from evangelicals, these are the sort of events I would expect them to freak out about, but instead, they’re willingly along for the ride.
Reagan’s just took time to poison the system. Everything we’re seeing now is from that time period, built up.
reagan also had alzheimers at the time,
