The Nickname FAUX News Seems to Be More True Than Not.

They are taking the position that they can say anything they want, truthful or not. Remember the Cucker Tarlson case. Now we see they knew what they were spreading was false:

They basically admit they lied on air. Seems like grounds for criminal charges of incitement.

Fox hosts didn’t believe 2020 election fraud claims​

By RANDALL CHASEtoday
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Hosts at Fox News had serious concerns about allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election being made by guests who were allies of former President Donald Trump, according to court filings in a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the network.

They weren't lied to. Everything the Republicans have done since 2008 makes PERFECT sense if you start with the TEA party formed magically when we didn't know enough about Obama to know what his policies would be. The Tea Party were largely birthers and where Obama's birth took place was utterly irrelevant. Which lead us to 2016

Roll around there, I forget how many nominees there were but I know it was enough there was "the big boy table" and the "you guys are here too?" table. Carly Fiorina of California got pushed up. So this wasn't like 2008 where it was Hillary v Obama cus McCain wasn't winning following the end of the Bush presidency. He just wasn't. They could have picked Bush, his two drawbacks are he's boring, and for many people Obama would be the only president that wasn't a Clinton or Bush in their entire lives. Kasich of Ohio who seems to be an all around good guy. Romney who isn't evil. Perry, stupid sometimes but not flat out evil. Cruz and Rubio okay we're wandering into evil but they are the kind of evil where as long as you don't piss em off no reason to fight. No, they chose Trump.

Why? A black man was president a woman was about to be president and they chose a man who just wanted to watch the world burn. If we've learned NOTHING from the civil war don't ever underestimate how long a certain percentage of white people can stay angry.

Why? A black man was president ...

And that's maybe the biggest part of what put us on this track. 'How DARE they put one of them in OUR house!!!!!'

From the court documents. On November 7th, Bartiromo interviewed Sidney Powell who said she had evidence of Dominion Voting Systems flipping votes for Biden. The evidence was an email.

The email is released in the filings. It stated that, 'Dominion was the one common thread in the voting irregularities in a number of states... Justice Scalia was purposefully killed at the annual Bohemian Grove camp... Roger Ailes (Fox News CEO who died in 2017) and Rupert Murdoch secretly huddle most days to determine how to portray Trump as badly as possible... Who am I? And how do I know all this? I have had the strangest dreams since I was a little girl... I was internally decapitated.. The wind tells me I'm a ghost but I don't believe it...'

It goes on and on. This is the crap that Sidney Powell, Trump's chosen lawyer and Maria Bartiromo on Fox decided was good enough to tell the nation that the election was stolen. Serious journalism, or the relentless pursuit of advertising dollars from Hillbilies?

 

[jaF0]

I don't know what happened to her. She was a very credible journalist when she was with CNBC business and I used to like to watch her. Somehow, she went totally off the deep end.


"With CNBC, she was the host of Closing Bell and On the Money with Maria Bartiromo. She was the first television journalist to deliver live reports from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. She has won several awards for her work on these programs, including two Emmy Awards. Nicknamed the "Money Honey", she garnered considerable attention within the financial industry in addition to the media. Her work for CNBC was largely non-political in its subject matter and approach."

Fox News Texts, Emails 'Nightmare Fuel' For Lawyers: Legal Expert​

Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Newsweek on Friday that the "smoking gun evidence...doesn't get better than this."



It would be so fucking cool if this brought FAUX Snooze down and off the 'air'.

Yes, there is no way we can use the term "journalism" for FOX, no matter what adjectives we put in front of it.

This is the grossest violation of journalistic ethics by a major network in the history of American television news.

Trumpers and the board Trumpettes should look into this Faux News business themselves--the objective information is right there to see--and come to the obvious conclusion that they've been duped, mocked, constantly lied to, and used. But of course they won't. That's why they followed Faux News to begin with. The hypocrisy was always right there to see.

Ican't,HisArpy, AJ wrongway and chubby will go down to the end fighting it as a lie....they will never accept and I'll enjoy the many laughs along the way....

It's very telling that BusyBody is the only MAGAt to continue to stick out his neck for the MAGAt God on this thread.

The last bit of scum on the surface of a pot full of lies.

AMERICAN VIEWS 2022: Part 2, TRUST MEDIA AND DEMOCRACY​

NEGATIVE SENTIMENT ABOUT THE NEWS MEDIA HAS GROWN OVER TIME — PARTICULARLY AMONG INDEPENDENTS.​

• • Only 26% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the news media, the lowest level Gallup and Knight have recorded in the past five years, while 53% hold an unfavorable view.
  • Across all political affiliations, more Americans say they hold an unfavorable opinion of the news media compared to a survey conducted in late 2019-early 2020. This rise is especially pronounced among independents but is also apparent among Democrats — who typically hold more favorable views of the media.
  • Perceptions of political bias in news coverage have also increased, with independents driving the trend, followed by Republicans, then Democrats.
  • Young people continue to hold more negative perceptions of the news media than older generations, confirming previous findings.

Long before Trump...Fox was sued over some faulty reporting. They went to court and argued the newscaster opinions were not news...but entertainment. And they won. What they are is nothing but an entertainment service. In fact, if you look at the true company name on filings...it isn't Fox News...

 

[coati]

And right on cue, Boomer shows up to tell us that outright lying about the results of a Presidential election is simply a reflection of bias "on both sides".

So, it looks like the overt MAGAts will continue to outright lie about the results of elections that MAGAts don't win, and the covert MAGAts will say FOX is simply doing what every other major TV news network is doing.

I mean, after all, aren't we all to blame for outright fraud on FOX?

Hope Dominion gets awarded all profits Fox made from that fraud, plus damages.
