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.

...from the globalist perspective, J6 was worse than 9/11 as 9/11 was instrumental in ushering in the Constitution-violating surveillance state required to undermine American sovereignty in pursuit of political globalism.

J6 was an ostensibly non-violent expression of profound dissatisfaction with the Federal political establishment & J6 helped highlight how much Americans have been disenfranchised by globalists who have usurped American organs of state.

#FoxNews has knowingly and systematically spread #fake #news

Today’s filing shows that executives at the highest levels of the #Fox Corporation and the Fox News Network knowingly permitted Fox News Channel personalities to spread false #conspiracy theories about the #election in order to protect their profits. It includes testimony from Rupert #Murdoch, the chair of the Fox Corporation, showing that Murdoch and his son Lachlan Murdoch, the executive chair and chief executive officer of the Fox Corporation, as well as Suzanne Scott, the chief executive officer of Fox News #Media, were all deeply involved in the question of how to deal with #Trump’s lies and with the personalities who were echoing those lies, without losing viewership.

Race baiting Fox

#cartoon by Adam #Zyglis

Thanks to the #Dominion Voting Systems v. #FoxNews filing, we now know what we’ve always believed is true: Fox News will do or say anything to retain their power, even if it means lying – over and over and over again – to their viewers. The question is, will they ever be held accountable? We’re joined this week by RonNell Anderson #Jones, Professor of Law at the University of Utah, for a lively discussion about defamation law and the possibility that Fox News might actually have to face the music

We Should Try to Prevent Another #AlexJones

But we should also work hard at making the rest of #society work much better so that liars can’t do as much damage. I keep coming back to how people over 65 have higher rates of #vaccination, despite higher #FoxNews viewership and some in that age group having a greater propensity to believe #misinformation. That’s possibly because they are more motivated to brush off lies in light of the higher risk they face from Covid but perhaps also because #Medicare allows them to have medical providers they trust. Similarly, for example, regulating the supplement #industry — a common vehicle for #conspiracy and political grift — and having stricter standards on advertising claims might help, too.

The work of #civilization is not just discovering and unleashing new and powerful technologies; it is also regulating and shaping them and crafting norms and values through education and awareness that make societies healthier and function better. We are late to grapple with all of this, but late is better than never.
