Fox News Admits they are Peddling Election Lies - Dominion Lawsuit

Post by Drak »

Here's the Dominion Lawsuit filing against Fox News filing, that shows private texts between Murdoch, Carlson, Hannity and Igraham admitting they know Fox stolen election claims are lies. And what happened right after this information was released? Carlson was back on the air last night peddling the same lies.

Fox News is one of the most watched networks in the US. In an ongoing attempt to overthrow democracy, state run media is required to constantly peddle Goebbels' style lies. Here, we have proof of Republican Fox News peddling election lies in order to sow doubt in American Democracy. They have completely radicalized millions of people with this anti American propaganda. Constantly claiming election fraud, and Trump constantly claiming he really won and the election was rigged, is how we ended up with the violent attack on the Capital on Jan 6. This has caused massive scale harm to America that will take decades to repair, if at all. And it's going to end up causing more violence. It's not an innocent game. It's an ongoing attack on Democracy with the purpose of destroying it.

Tucker Carlson repeatedly frets in text messages to his producer that Trump is a "demonic force" who could "destroy" him if Carlson missteps: "He's the
undisputed world champion of that. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong."

This falls in line with how the entire GOP sees Trump. As a serious threat that will destroy them if they don't fall in line.

Some interesting details about Jeanine Pirro in the Fox News messages: a Fox exec felt sure she was looking for a job at a competitor like Newsmax, and Fox cancelled her Nov. 7 show because they were afraid she'd push stolen election theories: "She is crazy."



But check out that entire Twitter thread as it breaks down the filing.


Here's an NYT article:

Behind the scenes, Fox News admits they know Trump lost the election,

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/16/busi ... ticleShare
“Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It’s insane,” Mr. Carlson wrote to Ms. Ingraham

Ms. Ingraham responded: “Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy.”

Mr. Carlson continued, “Our viewers are good people and they believe it”

Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson attempted to get a reporter fired for telling the truth

I've been saying it for years, though of course I'm biased.

Reverse Ray Gun's FCC deregulation. Restore responsibility in broadcasting, such as it was. Opinion labeled as such, outright lies draw fines.

It's not enough for vendors to run Faux and MSNBC and say they're balanced if it causes a civil war.

This just shows that Fox News isn't news at all, but a propaganda mill.

And our conservatives on this board eats it all up and regurgitates it here.

Wow, you'll defend anything, won't you? Why don't you respond to this on it's own, instead of deflecting. Are you even capable of doing that?

No he didn't. Go read the Bipartisan senate report, vol 5. Go read the report from the ODNI on it. Go review what every intel agency across America said.

And this isn't about Adam Schiff. It's about a massive propaganda machine that defrauded the United States with pure lies to overturn an election.

It just shows that ultimately, he knows that what his side does isn't defensible. He knows they are wrong, and he just doesn't care.

It gets worse. The suit suggests that faux exex had full knowlege that what some of their people were saying was not true. Story goes that Newsmax was beating them in the ratings by beating the drum for election fraud, so they decided to allow their hosts to do similar.

Yep. Newsmax was beating them in the ratings with the election lies so Fox went full steam. And they're still doing it. Tucker is on record claiming he knows it's all total bullshit and he calls the election deniers crazy, but last night he was at it again.

Fox should be shut down like it has been in other countries.

Should that apply to all networks or just fox?

So now you're trying to change the subject to Tom Hartmann? Does Tom Hartmann tell election fraud lies to millions and millions of Americans to sow doubt about democracy and has he committed defamation? Stick with the topic please.

Why don't you comment on what this thread is about isn't of acting like a constant 4 year old who is trying to immediately change the subject because you can't handle reality. Or maybe don't comment at all.

Wow you gotta be a mindless droid not to understand that our nation's population, therefore the electorate, grows every year.

They obviously hold their conservative audience, like Joe, Glenn and Greengrass in contempt, treating them like the idiots they obviously are.

You can't lose money underestimating the intelligence of the American right.

Trump got significantly more votes than he did in 2016, too. And he lost the popular vote both times. The Fact is, more people were motivated to remove him from office.

That is true and many if not most of those extra votes opposing hom came from conservative Republicans like me.

So fewer people sat out the election after four years of raised awareness of the importance of politics. BFD.

Second question on this bullshit. So where did the extra votes for Trump come from, Glenn? I mean he was telling the truth when he said he got more votes in 2020 than anyone else in any prior election. He just neglected to say that Biden got even more.

So where did Trump get his new votes? I'd say he got the votes of the vast majority of Conservative Republicans. After all, 99% of the GOP endorsed and backed him. Including your Congressman and both your Senators.

The fact is if republican voters didn't vote for Biden today Trump would be president and things in the country and world would be far worse.
To that I will change to Republicans who voted for Biden or just stayed home.
Same is true for the democratic party having the senate
