Fair and Unbalanced

[TomT]

In testimony in Delaware open court in the $Billion plus lawsuit of Dominion Voting Systems versus Fox News, both Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson as well as Fox News Program director and Senior Executives admitted that they knew that Trump lost the election. An election that they knew was not “stolen.”

The senior program director referred to all those election deniers as “the crazies,” and issued a memo suggesting Fox New to keep them off the channel. Fox News did the opposite.

They all admitted that they knew the claims of the likes of Trump lawyer Sidney Powell and pillow man Mike Lindell were lies. This knowledge did not stop them from promoting these two and many other election deniers on the Fox News most watched programs.

Fox News also knew that a number of MAGA Republican office holders they platformed were supporting these “stolen election” claims while at the same time were begging Trump to give them pardons for the crimes they were committing.

For months after the election, Fox News platformed virtually everyone with a “stolen election facts” story to tell, from the “revenge of Hugo Chavez,” to “Italian satellites under British and CIA control that forced the voting machines to count Trump ballots for Biden,” to “secret signals that were sent from Venezuela that changed election results,” “secret Chinese bamboo paper ballots that reversed the votes for Trump,” Etc.

The actual defamation trial of Fox News is scheduled for April 2023, unless Fox comes up with a $Billion or so to settle.

Just dropped by to see if any FOX news/Hannity/Stop the Steal folks have mustered up a comment yet.

So if someone disagrees with a Nazi, that person is considered a Nazi.

Impeachment is a legal proceeding. Nothing illegal about it, except for the conduct of the President.

You're both falling for a basic distraction tactic.

 

Hannity just admitted under oath that he doesn't believe what he says on his show.

FOX is no more news than Lucy and Desi were.  It's fiction.

Nothing new about that. Fox lawyers used that as a blanket defense against libel a long time ago.

Fox is the ONLY honest news out there, which is why it leads in the ratings.

In Tort law, the only defense for libel is truth.

If we say Unelected Joe is a pedophile, we can be on the hook for libel unless it is a fact.

Which it is.

I'll comment on what he actually said when there is an actual link to what he said, in whatever venue this was. So far, we've only seen someone's "opinion." Adam Schitt LIED about what Trump said to the Ukraine President and he LIED BEFORE THE HOUSE.

It's not intelligent to trust liberals with ANYTHING, since they are all LIARS.

Show me a link from a reliable (read NON LIBERAL) source. I'll give the proper comment.

Well it's a deposition in court. Fox isn't even covering it, here's NPR.

Okay.. here we go the respected National review is rated as rate of center

 

https://www.allsides.com/news-source/national-review

 

He testified that he didn't believe the voter fraud claims that people were repeating on his own show. Therefore he is not saying what he really feels on his show. Now that is not a surprise to me, and generally not a surprise for TV news in general. But a lot of fox viewers have a less pragmatic view of the cable news industry.

Never really heard of this site.. but the media bias checker says it's right wing conspiracy so maybe you follow it?

 

It says that Hannity did not believe claims of media fraud, according to his own testimony.

We were all presented with a complete transcript of what Trump said to the President of Ukraine, and we ALL know that Trump was trying to get him to announce that he was investigating Biden. We also learned that Trump had inexplicably held up shipments of weapons to Ukraine which Congress — and, hence, law — had authorized.  
 

The US taxpayers don’t pay for foreign weapons so that the President can use the weapons as political bargaining chips for his campaign

Quite simply, you don't know what you're guessing about.

Every time you call people childish names here, you ONLY reveal YOUR DESPERATION. AKA, no legitimate argument.

[Michael Hardner]

Still waiting for a FOX fan to respond to Hannity's admission that his show is fictional.

[suds]

There has to be a balance between 1) the rights of those to sue for being libeled and 2) the rights of a news network to carry on its business without being in constant fear of being sued or being compelled to self censor itself.  Nobody can argue that those like Sidney Powell were not newsworthy when invited on Fox News even though many of the hosts at Fox didn't agree with her views. And yet, it appears that Fox is liable for what she says. It is not illegal in the US to question the validity of elections, nor should it be. Fox is no different than the other major news networks. During prime time they switch from news to 'opinionated news'. The only real difference is that Fox admits it.

Not really.

It's a firmly held leftard belief that you can get Nazi tattoos, join a Nazi battalion, wear Nazi symbols, tell people that you're a Nazi, and commit war crimes, but you're still not a Nazi unless the anti-defamation league says so.

"Just cover up your Nazi tatts before you receive your awards from John Stewart and we're good ?"

Do you have some kind of cite? Do you have a quote with more context?

I have a weird habit of not believing internet rumours and innuendo, especially from oft-discredited goofs.
