Not that I have any love for Dominion or Smartmatic, but I think I’m actually OK with the Murdochs taking a couple hard ones on the chin.

Tucker needs to get the hell out of there. Fox and ALL the MSM corps can drop completely dead for all the good they do America.

[Sir_Humphrey]

The deep state is trying to shut down the opposition media. Banana Republic stuff.

Tucker is the only one on the channel I can stand to watch

[Olog-hai]

They’re not taking anything on the chin by settling. That’s called collaboration.

Is Fox News really “opposition media”, at least since late 2011 when Ailes declared the “course correction” and hired people like Chris Wallace?

[montag813]

It’s Lachlan and Paul Ryan’s network now, so who cares? The biggest mistake conservative billionaires ever made was not buyying out mainstream alphabet networks years ago.

Is Fox News really “opposition media”

No. They play their part. They're in on it too.

[Aeneas2112]

An internal bookkeeping transfer from one unit of the NWO to another.

As an old buddy used to say, Fox News s#it in it’s messkit.

The biggest mistake conservative billionaires ever made was not buyying out mainstream alphabet networks years ago.

You never know where the betrayal can come from. Decades ago, CNN was relatively balanced, and TBS and TCM were good. Ted Turner was considered a conservative, and was looking to buy CBS. Conservatives cheered him. He failed, and flipped . . . culminating in pro USSR Goodwill Games and marrying Jane Fonda. You just never, ever know. I half feared the same from Trump, and he did not disappoint me.

[Reily]

I don’t remember Ted Truner being anything like a conservative in his early days more like apolitical if anything at all. I do agree him marrying Fonda had him c9me out and identify as liberal.

[Leep]

The real battle isn’t taking place on the network propaganda channels. if Fox went away tomorrow it wouldn’t hardly make a difference in the real world.

[dforest]

Actually. I believe I agree with you.

[justme4now]

How about Steve Hilton?

[hecticskeptic]

The other day I saw an interesting piece entitled something along the lines of “So is this why Fox settled?” Unfortunately, the piece disappeared and my search for it has not turned it up. Did anyone else see this piece? I think I saw it posted on Rantingly or perhaps it was The Liberty Daily.

[pepsi_junkie]

Remember though that Truth is an absolute defense to libel claims.

Oh, this is a big media company. What was I thinking? Truth? They avoided that pretty carefully. Never mind.

[nicollo]

One of the libel charges against Fox by Dominion regarded the rigged Venezuela election — which was engineered by Smartmatic, not Dominion. There was substance to the charge in that Dominion’s system was originally that of Smartmatic, but I don’t know how it was framed on Fox.

Either way, the lesson here is that Murdoch will just have to carry on without me, as has been the case since Jan 7, 2020.
