Well, Fox \u2018News\u2019 is finally getting what they deserve. Oh, not just the defamation suits pending against them, although at this point there is little reason to doubt that the suits will utterly destroy Fox News. It may, however, be that the fatal blow has already been struck. In Delaware the other day, the filing by Dominion voting against Fox News was released, all 200 pages, and the contents were damning beyond belief.<\/p>\n
Mind you, these findings are not allegations. They are not conjectural. They are not arguments. They are explicit facts gained from communications amongst Fox News employees in the form of emails, texts, and testimony under oath.<\/p>\n
Example: one of the biggest beaters of the election conspiracy drums, Tucker Carlson, texted Laura Ingraham, another election-denier shill, and told her that Sydney Powell was lying about Dominion and called the lies \u201cinsane.\u201d Ingraham replied, \u201cSidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy.\u201d That of course would be the other big liar involved in all this, former lawyer and politician Rudy Giuliani. They\u2019re both facing billions of dollars in defamation suits over all this, as well.<\/p>\n
In another tweet, Carlson wrote, \u201cPlease get her fired. Seriously\u2026.What the fuck? I\u2019m actually shocked\u2026It needs to stop immediately, like tonight. It\u2019s measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke.\u201d Talking about Sydney Powell, right?<\/p>\n
Wrong. He wanted Fox White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich fired for having the temerity to fact-check some of Donald Trump\u2019s wild lies about the election being stolen. Ever since I first encountered Carlson in his role in the cover-up of the circumstances leading to the death of Steve Kangas some 25 years ago, I\u2019ve always considered Carlson to be loathsome filth. It seems he\u2019s only sharpened his skills since then.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s evidence that privately, Carlson has little liking or respect for Donald Trump, and obviously, he didn\u2019t for an instant believe his Big Lie about the election. Again, not conjecture. It\u2019s all there in the discovery process findings.<\/p>\n
But Tucker had his own rationale for pumping Trump\u2019s lie like it was gospel\u2014ratings. He wrote a Fox executive, \u201cDo the executives understand how much credibility and trust we\u2019ve lost with our audience? We\u2019re playing with fire, for real\u2026.an alternative like newsmax could be devastating to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Newsmax for years was a fringe-lunatic right wing blog that was QAnon before QAnon even existed. It existed for hateful conspiracy freaks. That Fox took them seriously as a competitor not only says something about Fox, but about their audience and about the state of the American right in general.<\/p>\n
Maybe Fox News needs a new motto: \u201cFox. Because you can\u2019t fucking afford Scientology, and David Icke uses too many big words. Besides, Icke\u2019s English. If you knew how to read a map, you would see England is right next to China. Coincidence? I think NOT!\u201d<\/p>\n
What? Too wordy?<\/p>\n
Even Kangarupe himself knew the election lies were utter bullshit, writing, \u201cIt\u2019s been suggested our prime time three should independently or together say something like \u2018the election is over and Joe Biden won,\u2019\u201d adding that it \u201cwould go a long way to stop the Trump myth that the election stolen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, Murdoch is nobody\u2019s idea of an avatar of journalistic integrity. He\u2019ll cheerfully lie to his viewers in order to promote his fascist world view. He\u2019s even had his lawyers argue in court that Fox is entertainment and not news, and so a legal defense of \u201cha ha, just kidding\u201d absolves Fox of the damage caused by their lies.<\/p>\n
But even he knows when to stop beating a dead horse, and he saw early on that Trump\u2019s lies are dead on arrival except to his moronic followers. Unfortunately for the rest of us, those same morons were the ones Fox spent the last quarter century cultivating.<\/p>\n
So when Trump incited the January 6th<\/sup> riots, Fox found themselves in the ultimate no-win situation. They could have said: \u201cThis has gone far enough. Trump has been lying to you. We\u2019re been lying to you. And it\u2019s put the country in danger, so the time has come to stop lying.\u201d<\/p>\nOr, after a day or two of panic and irresolution, they could decide to simply double down on the lies, and told their pet dirtbags in Congress to circle the wagons and defend their fascist fantasy at all costs.<\/p>\n
Care to guess which choice they made?<\/p>\n
You\u2019re very smart, reader! You guessed right!<\/p>\n
Here is something that tells you just how strong Dominion\u2019s hand is. They\u2019re asking for a summary judgment. They don\u2019t want the trouble and expense of a formal trial which could go years and cost the loser hundreds of millions. They are hoping the judge will read the case they have, and rule on Fox News\u2019 culpability from the bench.<\/p>\n
Hearing the case is Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis, a 12-year veteran of the state’s bench. He has a reputation for honest and straightforward dealing, frowns upon snark and ridicule, and has a supreme poker face. However, in findings and rulings related to this case, it\u2019s clear that he believes the claims the election was stolen are lies, and that many of the principals involved knew they were lies even as they uttered them.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think Fox News is going to survive this one. Their stable of Lord Haw-Haws and Tokyo Roses have already suffered massive damage.<\/p>\n
However, this all improves the odds that America might survive this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
