robosmith Posted April 20 Author Report Share Posted April 20 Fox News-Dominion settlement doesn’t end crisis for Rupert Murdoch’s empires Quote Fox Corp. has settled the defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems, but the company’s troubles are far from over.Beyond the $787.5-million payout to end the Dominion case, Fox now must contend with a second defamation suit filed by a rival voting machine company, Smartmatic USA, which has demanded $2.7 billion.And Fox investors also are lining up with their own lawsuits, alleging that Rupert Murdoch and other board members were derelict in their duties by allowing Fox News to promote election lies, which harmed the network’s reputation as a news organization.Revelations from emails and text messages, disclosed in the court motions, tarnished Murdoch and high-profile hosts, including Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Maria Bartiromo. Murdoch and others privately indicated they knew former President Trump’s “stolen election” claims were bogus, but they appeared to be more interested in protecting Fox News’ big profits than telling the truth to its millions of viewers, according to the court documents. The EVIDENCE against FOX is FAR MORE SERIOUS than merely editing an audio recording. LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike FOX, CNN is KNOWN FOR FIRING reporters and managers who do NOT conform to journalistic ethical standards. Let us know when a HOST at Fox is fired for LYING. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing TO be done, same as fox. THey are giving the consumer what they want. The left wing wants to be lied to - cnn and nbc lie. The right wants to be lied to, fox lies. Occasionally they'll all get caught over it and sued but it's still profitable to lie If you want proof look at @robosmith reply above - already making excuses for the lies of the other corporations. People WANT their news to lie to them, they ONLY get mad at other people's lies. Edited April 20 by CdnFox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(reeeeeeeeeeee) What is that, about the 4th time this week you've used a "fallacy" term you don't understand? Do you just call anything you don't like some sort of random fallacy and hope people buy it? Anyway you're wrong because of the "maybe you should learn what words mean before using them" fallacy Back in the real world, Fox still is the highest rated by a landslide. So people do enjoy them and they're obviously raking in teh dough. That's just a truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROFLMAO I was the one who said ratings are a measure of popularity - and if they're a measure of popularity that literally does mean they have a meaning - they mean how popular a show is ROFL - you couldn't even go a complete sentence without contradicting yourself and looking dumb Honestly don't you think about what you write? And of course the fact something is popular doesn't in any way shape or form mean it's a 'popularity fallacy'. That's not what that word means. If i said "everything fox writes must be true because they're the most popular" - that would be a fallacy. Pointing out that they're the most popular itself isn't. I feel like i should be sending a bill to your parents for tutoring you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
