It seems like a good time for Fox's #shareholders to sue #Fox for the failure of Fox's senior management to uphold their fiduciary responsibilities by dispensing with such a valuable asset with no appreciable rationale.

When a corporation does what Fox has done it often indicates that senior #management &/or major #voting shareholders are more interested in controlling #information than in producing profits & returns on #investments.

Control of information is control of understanding is #control of #perceptions is control of choices is control of societies.

Is Fox News Media jealous of the Daily Show?

Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.

The WHY is not yet clear, maybe they found some Russians in his closet

... It is not immediately clear what spurred on the decision. Personal texts and emails from Carlson were made public as part of the defamation suit brought by Dominion Voting Systems. Those communications included comments that he “passionately” hated Donald Trump, and comments criticizing Fox’s news-wide journalists.

Trump sat for an interview with Carlson earlier this month, his first since being indicted in a New York court.

But Carlson was also cited in a lawsuit from a former Fox producer, Abby Grossberg, who said the work environment was “sexist.” Grossberg worked as a senior producer on Carlson’s show.

More bad news for FoxNews

A top lawyer for Smartmatic, the voting technology company whose defamation lawsuit against Fox News is still pending, said Thursday that he won’t accept any settlement smaller than the $787 million Fox agreed to pay Dominion, and that his client needs a “full retraction” from the right-wing network disavowing the lies it spread about the 2020 presidential election.

“They need to get an apology. They need to get a full retraction,” Smartmatic lawyer Erik Connolly told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead.”

"The lack of a six-week trial meant that Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro would not have to own up to their role in spreading dangerous misinformation after the 2020 election. It suggests that lies, no matter how dangerous or insidious, are tolerable as long as you have the money to back it up. "

... dumb cousin fucker terrorists!

According to a story in the Washington Post, as Fox News debated how to handle Trump’s election lies, Tucker’s then-producer described their audience as “dumb” “cousin-fucking” “terrorists.”

While talking about another conspiracy being floated by then Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, Carlson’s then Producer Alex Pfeiffer wrote in a message, "It is so insane but our viewers believe it so addressing again how her stupid Venezuela affidavit isn't proof might insult them."

He then added, talking about Fox News viewers, “"Like negotiating with terrorists," he added, but especially dumb ones. Cousin fucking types not saudi royalty."

Fox News sanctioned for withholding evidence in Dominion defamation case

Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis on Wednesday sanctioned Fox News and its parent company, Fox Corp., for withholding evidence in the Dominion defamation suit, and said he's considering further investigation and censure.

According to a person present in the courtroom, lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems played recordings Fox News producer Abby Grossberg made during 2020, which were not handed over to Dominion's lawyers during discovery.

Grossberg, a former producer for Fox hosts Maria Bartiromo and Tucker Carlson, has sued Fox News and said her deposition was coerced. In an amended filing Tuesday, she said she had recorded conversations with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and others.

The sanction gives Dominion a chance to conduct another deposition, at Fox’s expense.

Raw Story/MSNBC: 'Another crisis is building' at Fox News as second defamation lawsuit gets green light for trial

This is a very good (fact-based) news story. [Katie Phang]/MSNBC]

The video after the text introduction is spot on, in clarity, and gets deeper and crisper, going from the #Fox #Disinformation case
to Eric Swalwell and gatekeeping the (actual) 1st Amendment. The concise story about the #GQP / #TrumpVirus #media machine once called #FoxNews. #News ? #Truth? Plus, #TuckerCarlson and the chief troll of #GQP, #KevinMcCarthy.

A reality-based thin-slice.
