Fox News Info Grab

[ABlaster]

I've started reading Fox and MSNBC in the morning to see what's up in the world, but on Fox I try to read an article and they block some articles unless you agree to give them your email address, create an account, and give them access to what appears to be a lot of information.

This is the text from the page:

"By entering your email, you are agreeing to Fox News Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which includes our Notice of Financial Incentive. To access the content, check your email and follow the instructions provided."

Has anyone here filled out the form to read the articles?

 

[G-rat]

[tatwell]

[5lima30ret]

Won't do that ever! I don't like Faux news anyway!

My trash blocker, kills that stuff.

Agreed. I did enjoy a free year of subscription to Fox to watch Tucker, due to being a vet. This was before they fired Tucker. Once it expired I just never watched again. There were some really interesting shows on there like castles of Europe and stuff my wife liked.

i will not comply

MSNBC, you just as well read the comics! Fox is sometimes a tad better! But it’s a free country, for now, so read on!-

If I read MSNBC I can better prepare for what my more liberal friends are going to bring to a debate, and I really do like having both sides of a story.

What I was reading after I posted this was that apparently Google is going to end the use of third-party cookies in 2024, and this is the way online businesses keep the advertising dollars flowing (remember, if you're not paying for the product, you *are* the product). I also read from people who had signed up with Fox that unsubscribing from the emails they send is difficult and takes a lot of steps and time. No first-hand info on that, but there were several posts complaining about it.

I created a burner account on yahoo and gave Fox that address. I’m not the only one. I tried create a yahoo account “foxaccount” and received a rejection as someone else had already created that account.

No news media is to be trusted. Time was you couldn't believe it all but now you can't believe any of it. You are targeted for your $$$ only and you are fed BS that makes you feel good..nothing more. The truth does not always feel good.

They also reported that Trump is the front runner for the 2024 election.

I don’t need to share my email to know this type of info. Zerohedge.com is getting my views.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

They are all owned by clear channel i think??

 

[Ric-san]

I actually-mailed Fox News about the stupid idea of me signing up for “free” news….told them they’re going to lose a ton of readers….may have to do the “burner” thing…

If you have a phone or iPad you can request the “reader” view which allows you to read the article. This works on most paywalls.

I gave them my junk email address one time but won't anymore. They have not emailed me since that one time I gave them my email address except to give me access to that article. Now I just ignore any of those articles requiring email and look for the story elsewhere.

 

[IronBeard]

Nope. 'Bye Fox...
