    Also, I will point out that the simple actions of listening, watching, and reading news, any stations or platform, does not mean that one "believes all".

    I see lots of stories. Some seem plausible, some do not, and often the opposite is true. Though in time, assumptions can turn into reality, but most level headed here clearly state their opinions on these things.

    It is usually the TDS people that make things more than what they are because well, Orange Man Bad.

    Fox "News" found out definitively what their audience is like when on election night they were the first network to call Arizona for Biden. What they should have already known, but now was proven conclusively, was that their viewers are not interested in truth, but just as with every other crackpot religion, their followers only want to be buttressed in their faith, to be told what they want to hear.

    So, the backlash was fierce. Fox "News" immediately started losing viewers to Newsmax, an even more absurd right wing propaganda cesspool. Bleeding profits and fearful that they would be usurped, Fox "News" began to peddle the big lie, particularly focused on Dominion Systems as their villain. Internal memos PROVE that Fox's executives and celebrities knew what they were saying about Dominion was false, and yet they broadcasted that shit to their shit-eating patrons on a steady basis.

    It was malicious. And it severely impacts Dominion's business model going forward.

    This is an open and shut case. If Dominion doesn't win this defamation trial then defamation laws might as well not exist.

    what fox did seems similar to the claims rex and hillary made about russians hacking the 2016 election. hillary even now says trump stole the election

    Fox has settled with Dominion by agreeing to pay $787.5 million. Not clear yet what other conditions are part of the settlement. Not chump change so it's an implicit confession of guilt, still a bit disappointing that Rupert Murdoch and Fox's celebs won't be taking the stand to sweat.

    Still in play: Smartmatic's defamation suit for $2.7 billion. Smartmatic's CEO hinted today that they won't let Fox get off so cheap when it's their turn.

    That anybody can believe what that shithole network has to say on a regular basis just testifies to the stupidity of many Americans. And their bullshit, dangerous to America, has been obvious for a lot longer than their smear of Dominion. All for their cause of oligarchy and plutocracy, making fools of dumbass racist idiots, getting those dumbass racist idiots to vote against themselves, by playing the racist fear card.

    a settlement is not an admission of guilt

    Not always, but in this case of course it is. You're just not honest enough to admit it.

    Of course it does. Stopped the virus in my case, in my wife's case, and in millions of cases. You're just not honest enough to admit it.

    she wasnt talking about you and your wife, she meant everyone.


    "Now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person,"
    "A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does not infect them, the virus cannot then use that person to go anywhere else, It cannot use a vaccinated person as a host to go get more people" - rachel maddow, ignoring science

    this was dangerous misinformation
