What about the mindless imbecile screeching that "The Dominion lawsuit proves it definitively" despite the fact that nothing is further from the truth
They are baseless allegations in a lawsuit, nothing more
Do my eyes deceive me? Are we actually having a debate?
To be clear and specific. The evidence acquired as part of the discovery phase of the Dominion lawsuit definitively proves my assertion in this thread. Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Laura Ingraham, purveyed the lies introduced by guests on their show whom they KNEW to be lying, thus protecting the Fox brand of brainwashing millions of people like my mother, in the name of maximizing profits for the company and themselves.
Here is one of DOZENS of articles from every reputable news outlet (NOTE: No such article from Fox News)
https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/17/fox-news-text-messages-dominion-tucker-hannity-ingraham-00083404
From the above link:
quote:
In a series of text messages, Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham lambasted Powell and Giuliani for peddling conspiratorial goods without evidence. “Sidney Powell is lying. Fucking bitch,” Carlson wrote to Ingraham on Nov. 18. “Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy,” Ingraham responded.
This is of course happened WHILE
1. They continued to repeat the lies from Powell and Giuliani on their shows
2. Continued to invite them back to lie some more
This proves 100% unquesrionably, that they were more concerned with protecting their brand, which basically includes brainwashing millions of Americans, than actually telling the truth.
PROVEN. DONE. IN THE CAN.
Nothing could be closer to the truth, because it obviously IS the truth.
OK...
Now to the Dominion lawsuit
Dominion is suing for defamation, which is very difficult to establish in a court of law. To establish defamation, the plaintiff must establish there was "Malice". In civil defamtion case, malice can mean either willful intent to defame (which legally implies lying), or a reckless disregard for the turth (resulting in defamation, and thereby lying)
Anyhting short of that, is simply "Free speech"
These text messages CLEARLY establish a reckless disregard for the truth. I doubt FOX News had anything against Dominion voting systems. However, they CHOSE not to tell the truth, out of fear, it would alienate their brainwashed audience.
Now consider the following...
From the link
quote:
Fox Chairman Rupert Murdoch called the idea that the election was stolen “really crazy stuff.” Shortly after the election, his top execs circulated a New York Post piece urging Trump to “stop the ’stolen election’ rhetoric” and “get Rudy Giuliani off TV.” They also openly fretted about whether Hannity, Ingraham and Carlson would indulge the conspiracy theories on their shows.
Rupert Murdoch knew Powell and Giuliani were lying and was concerned about Hannity, Carlon, and Ingrham repeating the lies. (But ultimately did nothing to stop it)
ALSO
Here is Tucker Carlosn trying to get a reporter fired for simply TELLING the truth on air! (Cancel culture anyone?)
quote:
Hannity and Carlson tried to get Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich fired for fact-checking a Trump tweet about Dominion and noting that there was no evidence of votes being destroyed. “Please get her fired. Seriously… What the fuck?” Carlson texted Ingraham and Hannity on Nov. 12, 2020. “It’s measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke.” Hannity exploded on top execs, including one who panicked and wrote that Heinrich “has serious nerve doing this and if this gets picked up, viewers are going to be further disgusted” with Fox.
Trying to actually SUPPRESS the truth in order to protect the stock price and the brand.
And finally
quote:
On Nov. 19, 2020, after Fox broadcasted the now-infamous Giuliani and Powell press conference about Dominion, then-White House correspondent Kristen Fisher got in trouble for fact-checking their bogus claims. Per the filing, “Fisher received a call from her boss, Bryan Boughton, immediately after in which he emphasized that higher-ups at Fox News were also unhappy with it, and that Fisher needed to do a better job of, this is a quote, respecting our audience.”
"Fisher needed to do a better job of respecting our audience" - Their brainwashed audience.
More PROOF that Fox was 100% concerned with keeping their audience, and 0% concerned with telling the truth.
Dominion's burden is CLEARLY met.
