Fox never advocated as a network that the election was stolen. Their top opinion personalities also never said that as a fact.
Dominion Lawsuit against FoxNews
- Thread starter dpic73
- Start date
Bullshit, there aren't enough sprinkles at the sprinkles factory to make that turd taste good.
The pundits at Fox gave hours and hours of air time to election deniers, yet none of the Fox hosts believed the nonsense they broadcast to millions of people. Fox gave their viewers support for their misguided belief that the 2020 election was stolen. Yet, all of them said in emails that they were broadcasting lies.
The filing showed that those same personalities didn’t believe what they were telling their viewers, and suggests that they made those groundless accusations because they worried their viewers were abandoning them to go to channels that told them what they wanted to hear: that Trump had won the election.
They are the most watched channel on cable news and they were more concerned about their ratings than telling their viewers the truth .....because they knew you wouldn't watch otherwise.
Did you read the filing? Have you heard any of the Fox anchors deny it???
Just admit that you like to be lied to and you don't think liars should have any culpability for their actions.
I'm not in this thread b/c I'd just say the same things I always say. Prove it. This case is going to court and if FoxNews is guilty, we'll find out.
Watch and learn grasshopper about the power of billions versus millions
It is a lesson most of us never get the opportunity to be on either side of that bitch slapping
I can tell you who will win
And I have
Why is winning more important to you than the knowledge that you've been gaslighted to believe things that aren't true? We know this is your number one source of news....does it not bother you at all that you never know what's true because you never hear it? Seems like you'd want there to be consequences for taking advantage of your gullibility.

Please understand winning is a validation
I want to be the side of right but I think you are making too much of texts and emails that without having context and looking at the moment they were written to who why when can greatly affect interpretation
Of course there is disagreement on the staff how it should have been handled
Now to blow you up I personally saw fraud on a small scale but decided the benefit would not be worth the pain
Mail in and early balloting along with ballot harvesting should not be allowed
I to this day have zero belief that the votes were counted correctly in 2020 but I was not in a position to contest it with hard evidence
Despite that I will never doubt my gut on this
Just saying

"Tushnet said that in all of her years practicing and teaching law, she had never seen such damning evidence collected in the pre-trial phase of a defamation suit. “I don’t recall anything comparable to this,” Tushnet said. “Donald Trump seems to be very good at generating unprecedented situations.”
"Korzenik stressed that while the law allows for bias and ratings-seeking behavior by media outlets, it does not allow for the publication of material one knows to be false. The filing, Korzenik said, “certainly puts Fox in the actual malice crosshairs and puts them in real jeopardy.”
RonNell Andersen Jones, a professor and media law scholar at the University of Utah, described the evidence as “pretty voluminous” and said that she too had never seen evidence like it collected in a high-profile defamation case against an outlet as enormous as Fox.
“This is a pretty staggering brief,” Jones said. “Dominion’s filing here is unique not just as to the volume of the evidence but also as to the directness of the evidence and the timeline of the evidence.”
“This ‘out of the horse’s mouth’ evidence of knowing falsity is not something we often see,” Jones added. “When coupled with the compelling storyline that Dominion is telling about motivation — the evidence that at least some key players in the organization were actively looking to advance some election denialism in order to win back viewers who had departed — it makes for a strong actual malice storyline.”

A lot of gobbledygook and I am not a Fox defender. I watch the opinion shows at night sometimes but its just a fact that they did not push election fraud after 2020 and it pissed me off too so its a vivid memory.
Because it wasn't true and they knew it. Even Tucker Carlson knew that it was all bullshit and not true. You have been fooled and nobody of any consequence or seriousness believes in " Election Fraud" on a grand scale like Trump and his allies pushed.
You and anyone that agrees with this post have skulls as thick as cinder blocks. There is a huge difference between private communications and what Fox presented on the air you cant seem to grasp that fact.
Well their private communications all said that they knew that there wasn't any Election Fraud and those that were peddling that story were insane and not to be taken seriously. They also knew that they would be at serious risk of a lawsuit if they kept pushing it soooooo.....
Weird that you want Fox to win so they can keep lying to you with impunity.
You don’t understand my reason I am saying what I say
It is dam hard gor a mouse to beat an elephant in court
Dominion is a dot and Fox is massive
Thats like a Little League Team playing a Major League baseball team
Lies or whatever who does it , it is going to be nearly impossible for Dominion to get traction as Fox will throw everything they got at Dominion
and believe me when I say everytjhing
Let me explain a reality to you
Lawyers don’t work for free
They are expecting to get paid
If the case looks like it gets shakey for Dominion then they will start bailing and looking to settle to get paid
The lawyers getting paid will decide the case and not who is right and wrong
So think in terms of reality not right and wrong

They did not claim election fraud on the air for umpteenth time. Private communications do not qualify here.
But they did. Examples and clips in the link below.
Private conversations will not qualify for crap as to public information
This is a losing battle before the first shot is fired
Domnion because it has exposed itself to DISCOVERY is going to be a killer for them
Sidney Powell does not work for Fox so that does not qualify. She was brought on for a brief period and given a microphone, but not endorsed.
Furthermore we all know this is a BS lawsuit. Dominion has contracts with state governments that do not give a SH*t what someone on foxnews said. This entire episode has proven that even Dominion personnel know their machines are not good and can be hacked.
You've already admitted that Lou Dobbs pushed the conspiracy and it was the main reason he was let go. Just because he's not there anymore doesn't mean they aren't guilty.
And by giving hundreds of hours of airtime to election conspiracy theorists, without pushing back on the allegations because they were afraid they'd lose viewers, Fox was largely responsible for creating the false belief among their viewers that massive fraud had taken place.
"Joe Biden's victory caused Fox News personalities to all but melt down on the air. Off the air, a sense of crisis pervaded the private conversations of the network's executives and stars. Viewers who supported then-President Donald Trump abandoned Fox in droves after its Election Night team became the first in the nation to project that Biden would win the pivotal state of Arizona.
Desperate to win back the Trump supporters, Fox News and the Fox Business Network turned at least a dozen times to a pro-Trump attorney named Sidney Powell who, when pressed for evidence, forwarded a memo entitled "Election Fraud Info" to Fox anchor Maria Bartiromo. Bartiromo hosted Powell on her Fox News show the day after receiving it."
Bartiromo played along and was a leading voice in the attempt to fool her viewers
"Two days after the fateful Bartiromo appearance, Powell turned up on Fox's air once more, this time on Ingraham's primetime Fox News show. Powell asserted, "We have demonstrable, statistical and mathematical and computer evidence of hundreds of thousands of votes being injected into the computer systems repeatedly."
She didn't. Republican and Democratic state and local officials disputed and disproved her claims. So did Trump administration election integrity officials - as did some Fox News journalists. No matter. Powell showed up on Fox News and the Fox Business Network airwaves again and again - with Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, and Hannity, often explicitly implicating Dominion.
On Nov. 29, Bartiromo landed the first interview with Trump since Election Day, telling him, "This is disgusting and we cannot allow our elections to be corrupted."
Dude...You are STONED yourself if you actually think that Dobbs AT LEAST flat out said the election was rigged more than once and FoxNews fired him for it later. Here are some quotes from others:
BARTIROMO: "Sidney, we talked about the Dominion software. I know that there were voting irregularities. Tell me about that."
Except she didn't and thought the election was fair.
Hannety: "Let me ask you...I've gone over everything I've been able to find out. Nobody liked Dominion Voting Systems. Nobody. ... Why would we use a system that everybody agreed sucked or had problems is beyond me. And I asked you today, you said to me there were people watching an Internet connection in real time, but they can't speak publicly and haven't signed affidavits to that. Why?"
Except that he didn't think that... He testified that he didn't think the Dominion voting systems were hacked.
As for the lawsuit, we'll see. There is a very heavy lift to prove libel by a news agency... and rightfully so. It's pretty apparent that FoxNews was on Trump's side publicly and "wanted" it to be true. Based on those released texts and testimony, it's also pretty apparent that many people at FoxNews didn't personally believe Trump. That's not criminal and shouldn't be surprising as most of the election lies are pretty damn crazy.
Honestly, I don't know whether I want this lawsuit to be successful or not. I REALLY don't like Trump (or Carlsen... they are both BAD Dudes for different reasons). But I don't really have anything against Hannity... sure he's a Republican shill, but at least he's honest about it. The rest of the Fox political commentators are basically ass clowns... Kind of like CNN and MSNBC political folks. A free press (even a biased one) is pretty damn important, and it's not like the left doesn't get close to that line as well.
The left-wing election denier media must think their sheep are such braindead zombies. They can't see that the right is now doing the same thing the left-wing media did for 4 years. But they know just how stupid the left is so the left-wing media can get away with it.
Do you have an example of the left-wing media denying an election for four years? I know in your mind both sides are always equally guilty....because you WANT them to be, you NEED them to be. Unfortunately you can't prove your allegation, because it's not true.....
Good god, I knew this would be your stupid response.
12 minutes of candidates saying they believe election meddling was involved IS NOT THE MEDIA SAYING IT FOR FOUR YEARS DUMBASS!
And unlike your orange master, they DID NOT say the actual votes were fraudulent - they were saying that due to the Russians social media meddling and Comey reopening her email investigation right before the election, voters were improperly influenced. ALL TRUE!!
Now sit your stupid ass down and STFU
Please give video evidence of Fox employees pushing mass election fraud as a fact on air then bozo. I of course know that mass election fraud did occur on multiple levels.
If those those two alleged quotes that you pulled are reason for slander and a lawsuit then I am the man on the F**king moon. Total BS. MASS ELECTION FRAUD ON MULTIPLE LEVELS DID OCCUR including our govt suppressing and manipulating the vote via the Hunter actions over social media.
Please give video evidence of mass election fraud occurring on multiple levels then bozo. I of course know that mass election fraud did not occur.
I already did many times way back and its still posted on this forum.
So all of the Fox News pundits stated that they knew that there was no mass fraud, and that those peddling it were insane, but you, the night watchman at the Warehouse know more than them due to the GWP articles..... Makes total sense.
