    SO then what specifically was false? As I said, you seem up to date on what Fox reports.

    Or you REALLY that uninformed or just dumb?

    What specifically was false was just about anything and everything they said about Dominion concerning the 2020 election. And watch out: Smartmatic is up next, seeking even bigger damages.

    Try to keep up.

    Yes, I am uninformed on Fox Programming. As I said, you seem to watch them a lot. Can you explain?

    If you are saying they lied, I figured you would have something specific to point out. Like an article or news cast video or something.

    Joe Biden and the 51 Spies of 2020
    We’re now learning that his campaign helped gin up the disinformation about Hunter’s laptop.
    The Editorial BoardApril 23, 2023 at 4:43 pm ET

    The House Judiciary and Intelligence committees released portions of a deposition transcript exposing the origins of the statement from 51 former U.S. spies declaring that Hunter’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” The admission came from Mike Morell, former deputy CIA director under Barack Obama. The letter served its political purpose of giving the media and Joe Bidenthe opening to dismiss the New York Post’s laptop scoop as Russian disinformation. (The letter and the names of the 51 signers can be read nearby.)

    It turns out the Biden campaign was behind the letter. Mr. Morell told Congress under oath that he received a phone call from Antony Blinken on Oct. 17, 2020—three days after the Post published emails from Hunter’s laptop. Mr. Blinken was then a senior adviser to the campaign and is now secretary of State.

    According to a letter the House committees sent to Mr. Blinken last week, Mr. Morell said the call was “couched as simply gathering Morell’s reaction to the Post story,” yet it “set in motion the events that led to the issuance of the public statement.”
    Committee question to Mr. Morell: “Prior to [Mr. Blinken’s] call, you—you did not have any intent to write this statement?”

    Mr. Morell: “I did not.”

    The letter says Mr. Morell also “explained that the Biden campaign helped to strategize about the public release of the statement.” Mr. Morell says he then contacted an aide to former CIA director John Brennan to say “the Biden campaign wanted the statement to go to a particular reporter at the Washington Post first and that he should send the statement to the campaign when he sent the letter to the reporter.”

    Mr. Morell acknowledged he had two goals with the statement: to “share our concern with the American people,” and to “help Vice President Biden” “win the election.”

    All of this took place shortly before the final presidential debate, and Mr. Biden pointed to the Gang of 51’s statement that his campaign helped to generate as proof that the Hunter laptop was phony: “Look, there are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what this, [President Trump is] accusing me of is a Russian plan. They have said that this has all the characteristics—four—five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage!”

    Mr. Morell told the committee that following the debate, Biden campaign chair (and now senior White House aide) Steve Ricchetticalled to thank him for the statement. No doubt. The Biden campaign had in essence generated its own disinformation, marshaling the authority of supposedly nonpartisan intelligence veterans to discredit a story that was accurate about laptop emails that were authentic.

    The committees are seeking more information from Mr. Blinken about the Biden campaign’s role, and the public deserves answers. Statement signers like former Obama director of national intelligence James Clapper have since admitted they had no evidence to make their disinformation claims, and Mr. Clapper claims the media “distorted” their views. No, the press did precisely what Mr. Blinken and the 51 spooks wanted: Use their letter to discredit the Hunter laptop and the information on it that raised questions about the Biden family business with foreigners

    @Tiger in NC

    question, why would someone accept a plea deal for Russian disinformation?

    For two tax misdemeanors? You guys have made all kinds of claims about that laptop that we now know likely we’re just Russian disinformation. He pled to two tax infractions and the prosecutors are only recommending probation. As the old Wendy’s commercials used to say, “Where’s the beef?” Your little laptop story is a dud and YES, it was Russian disinformation that you’ve clung to all along. Again you are wrong.
