So who is still part of the 'stolen election' boat? It's sinking. Best to get off and deny that you ever bought a ticket in the first place!

The big news out of newly released transcripts in the Dominion defamation suit against Fox News shows that Rupert Murdoch himself was involved in promoting trump’s big lie. And he knew it was a lie but did it anyway for financial reasons.

We should be aware that it’s not just Fox News that lies to it’s audience, it’s the ENTIRE right wing infotainment industry.

Extremists like Dan Bongino and Ben Shapiro are just as guilty of lying to their audience as is Fox News. These charlatans also spread their lies for profit.

Will the slack jawed, drooling maga morons that listen to this garbage awaken to the fact that they’re being lied to?

Of course not! They’re slack jawed, drooling, hateful, racist, maga nitwits. They NEED and ENJOY the lies. It’s their drug of choice.

So as long as there is a market for these lies, there will be suppliers willing to sell their souls for a buck.
Where are all the mayonnaise brain maga morons making their conspiracy theory comments? Funny how when they are shown that they're wrong... and stupid... they have nothing to say.

secondly, maybe you should look into the mirror

1. virus did come from the wuhan lab not the wet market. conspiracy theory proven right

2. masks dont work, virus is to small to be caught thru a n95 much less a cloth mask.... conspiracy theory proven right

3. hunter laptop was not russian propaganda conspiracy theory proven right

where were you admitting anything???

bottom line is whether you are left or right, anyone who completely believes what the goverment says is a complete moron
and im not singling anyone out in particular

the goverment has their own agenda and it sure as hell isnt to make life better for you or me, regardless who you support

the majority of congress should be put in jail as well as fauci for his lies

how does aoc become having a wealth of over 10 million dollars when she was a waitress before being elected? she is one of hundreds on both sides

so you guys keep hating the other side as much as you want, I dont trust either side one fucking bit

That ship sunk two years ago after numerous vote recounts. How many recounts? They actually found more votes for Biden that they stoled from him. If anyone paid any attention to it.

i read the article and first, consider the source, CNN, not exactly an unbiased outlet, obviously wants to slant this in favor of Dominion at the expense of their news rival FOX. now reading it, the comments made by Murdoch are hardly the smoking gun CNN wants to clam it is.



what it shows is that FOX was initially divided on the claims with several favoring the claims and others not, most notably Carlson and Ingram. Murdoch clearly did not think the claims held up from the start and while he could have directed FOX to drop the coverage or at least express some skepticism about them opted not to, unlike his other news rivals regularly do, such as Bezos and the editor staff of the NY Times to name a few that are known to tightly control the "opinions" of their papers.



now about skepticism, as the story developed Carlson in particular on air did offer Powell and presumably Giuliani as well to appear on his show to show proof of their claims. this after a period of time where Powell in particular had not shown any proof while continuing her claims in various press conferences, covered i should note, by all of the media outlets, not just FOX. it was news. reporting on the claims is not a case to be made that FOX openly endorsed them, merely that they reported them.


that Murdoch stated he may do things differently in hindsight means nothing more than as events evolved he took a somewhat hands off approach which in general appears to be his management style, again unlike his rivals such as Bezos. does anyone here think Bezos bought the Washington Post to not use it to advance his views? of course he did and it's not working out too well for him as unlike FOX who is raking in cash, the Washington Post is bleeding cash. now that analogy is not apples to apples as FOX is a cable news outlet compared to the WaPo a newspaper. so let's circle back to a fair comparison, CNN. CNN is also bleeding cash and laying off staff. FOX is not.


i'd advise our friends here to resist the leftist clickbait as this evolves and not jump to conclusions that only one side of the story may indicate.

The top of the CABLE ratings. When you’re competing with CNN and MSNBC that’s not a great feat. But their numbers are down.

After the election and the votes were counted numerous times there was the facts. But they kept it going knowing people would keep watching Fox and tell them what they wanted to hear. There are people on here that keep believing it even after they have admitted there were not telling the truth.



They wanted higher ratings knowing the GOP people for the most part are not intelligence and they will believe anything. Trump said that when he ran the first time when they ask him why is he running as a Republican and not a Democrat. Remember the comment,

I will just as soon as I see the links of all of the dead peoples votes names, and how all the machines fixed it so every vote for Trump went to Biden, and all the other lies. You show that I will look up your link for you that is plastered all over the news. You can look it up how they knew they were keeping the lie going knowing they would get ratings. It is all over all the real news groups. Not the crazy far right ones. They are hating Fetterman and his wife right now.
