Dominion takes Big Bite outta Fox Arse

[NYLefty]

I'm a strong believer in the 1st. But I also believe your rights end where somebody else's start. So for you 1st amendment trumps all unencumbered, ye be warned

[CdnFox]

It's an important distinction and often news media skirts that line very closely.

Sadly i doubt any of the media will get the right take-away from this - it'll probably not be 'don't lie', it'll probably be 'go ahead and lie but for god's sake don't write it down that you're lying '

And while this is a big hit for fox they used that stuff to build their revenues a great deal - they'll look at it as 'still worth it' in the long run.

But hopefully it'll help keep the media from running too far amock in the future.

Fox News felt they were pushed into a corner as a direct result of Donald Trump’s election lies. Plain and simple.

Nothing is ever plain and simple, except for people who claim things are plain and simple   LOL

Joking aside i don't think they were pushed into anything. They were increasing their viewership and business in leaps and bounds and got carried away and went a bridge too far.  In fairness they are worth more than most of the other major news agencies such as cnn and nbc news combined.  With the kind of growth they've been having and their success it's not hard to lose sight of things and go too far.

All the news agencies lie, they all get sued, but honestly this was easily avoidable and i think they got swept up in the situation and just couldn't manage to reach those breaks.

Fox tried telling the truth but found their viewers wanted LIES and switched to more compliant competitors like Newsmax and OANN.

To maintain their audience, apparently the HOSTS were ordered to COMPETE or did so due to competitive pressures.

Or NBC splicing the trevon martin tapes to create the impression of racism where none existed.

They ALL lie.

Fox’s woes aren’t over. Smartmatic next and Fox shareholders are lining up to sue the Murdochs and other directors.

Compared to Dominion executives, employees and their families having to live with death threats for 2 1/2 years?

For sure - the kids and their families got death threats too.

To be honest while i think both are pretty damn bad i think he's got a point that the cnn example is worse.

But it's a little like saying one guy jumped from a 30 story building and another jumped from a 40 story building and arguing over who's more dead.

Dominion also has suits pending against Newsmax, OAN, Giuliani, Powell and Lindell.

You mean like when lefties falsely claimed Donnie worked with Russia and his daughter in law had white powder sent to her home? 

You play the victim but the behavior of the left over the past 6 or 7 years has been a disgrace. 

Plus the 15 year old CHILD that Washington Post slandered had death threats as well..

it's a really good point.

For 3 years the left wing political party and media claimed that  trump "stole the election' with help from the russians.

And after exhaustive investigation it turned out to be completely untrue and that the left lied.  And the left and their supporters are fine with it.

Trump claims some machines stole the eleciton and the right wing media agrees and it turns out to be untrue  and the left claims it's just the worst thing ever and the right always lies and lives in fear.

It's sad what's happening in amerca these days.

Wrong.

"Smartmatic, based in Florida, is suing Fox News, Fox hosts Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro, former Fox host Lou Dobbs, and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani for $2.7 billion. The suit was filed in February 2021."

I think their argument is that giuliani, acting as trumps lawyer, made statements that the machines had been tampered with.

I think they're dead in the water there but you know how it is with lawsuits - sue EVERYONE and then see where the dust settles.

Trump never made such claims.. 

 

The argument of Guiliani and Ellis was procedural... leftist politicians and unelected beurocrats changed election laws without state congress approval. Which is true they did use "covid" as an excuse to do mass mail in ballots and ballot harvesting..

The dominion voting machines thing was by that Kraken lady

Lol... poor billionaires being questioned after being caught on camera claiming they'd never let Donnie win.

You're probably right ( i don't remember) but they'll still sue anyone who used the word 'dominion' at any point and see where things fall

This may not change any rightwingdingalings minds but they're too far gone anyway. It may not break Ruppy financial but it does have a bright side, it sets precedent

Nice try.

A 15 year-old kid versus trying to overthrow an entire national election through repeated, deliberate lies, destruction of two innocent companies, a massive riot, five dead, millions and millions of government dollars wasted in pointless recounts, an impeachment… yeah, tell us they’re equal.  I’ll show you 787 million reasons why they aren’t.

So you approve of torturing a BUNCH of 15 year old kids, ruining their future, ostracising them in their community and getting them tossed from school, having their lives and the lives of their families ruined just so you can fake a video for clicks?

Buddy - your 'moral high ground' is sinking fast here

Never happened. There was zero chance that the election would be overthrown by fox news. And they knew it.

Same as cnn then. At least fox didn't EDIT A VIDEO TO FALSIFY WHAT HAPPENED like cnn did. Which is far worse than just repeating a lie, which cnn ALSO did.

destruction of two innocent companies,

Innocent companies LOL.   Sure a company is worth WAAAAY more than an innocent CHILD'S LIFE!  I mean - most people if given a choice of saving a child or a company would let the child die, right? That's pretty normal.

Those companies have the resources to fight (and did). THey have insurance, they have lawyers, they have resources. And their people are protected by a fair bit of anonymity, it's not easy to come up with the CEO's home address. Unlike the kids who were named and their community and school directly metnioned - took people 6 seconds to find them.

Which riot did fox cause specifically?

, five dead,

So you're saying the capital riot was fox - not trump.

That's just stupid. Every election whomever wins accuses the other side of 'pointless recounts. Recounts are never pointless.  And if they are the Dems are every bit as guilty  - hanging chad anyone?  or did you forget all the times that the dems contested an election?

So fox news caused the impeachment. You're an !diot.

Basically you've tried to claim that every single negative thing that happened during trump's time is fox news's fault.

So does that mean cnn is guilty for the 5 billion dollars in riots that happened over the race stuff they reported on? Does that mean that theyr'e responsible for the current border crisis? How about the war in ukraine - they've talked about that.

Sorry - we're comparing two specific incidents. one is the claim that dominion's machines were a problem, the other that a bunch of  schoolkids racistly confronted a first nations veteran.  Both of which were false.

And of the two - DELIBERATELY FAKING A VIDEO AND RELEASING DETAILS OF WHERE THE KID LIVED AND PUTTING THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES AT DIRECT RISK IS WORSE.  THat is a F***ING CHILD for christsake - and they FAKED evidence - not just lied but knowingly faked evidence - to do it.

FAR worse than just repeating a lie you don't really believe about a company that has every ability to protect itself.

God what mental gymnastics you people are prepared to do in order to justify your evil.
