Smart like a Fox?
If there's a difference between what they say and what they say.
Robert Hubbell is one of the more astute observers, aggregators and commentators on Substack and among the topics he covered in his Newsletter today was this set of highlights from court documents in the Dominion Voting Systems suit against Fox News Corporation:
Fox effectively based its “stolen election” narrative on a single email from an “election expert” who claimed the ability to “see things differently” because she “travels through time.” See Business Insider, Sidney Powell Sent Fox Claims Said to Be From Headless Time-Traveler.
Tucker Carlson confessed his true feelings about Trump to his colleagues, saying, “I hate him passionately. . . .”
Rupert Murdoch thought that Trump was becoming “increasingly mad” as the weeks passed after the election, saying Trump was “bouncing off the walls and not sleeping”—but did nothing as Fox continued to promote Trump's Big Lie.
Rupert Murdoch acknowledged that the 2020 election was “free, fair and not stolen” and that several of Fox’s news anchors endorsed false claims about a “stolen election.”
Rupert Murdoch promised to send advanced copies of Joe Biden’s campaign ads to be aired on Fox because he wanted to “help” Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law. See Bloomberg, Fox’s Murdoch Gave Kushner Sneak Peek at Biden Campaign Ad.
The Fox “infotainers” of Hannity, Carlson, and Ingraham were furious with the Fox “news” division for calling Arizona for Biden in 2020 and discussed ways to blunt the effect of the accurate reporting by the news division.
Please note that these aren’t conjecture or “cherry picked”, they’re based on quotes from sworn testimony or entries of evidence. Something to think about. No one is going to argue effectively that the Democrats are perfect, but no Democrat has yet called for the Constitution to be terminated or suggested that Social Security and Medicare be subject to “review” on a regular basis. There will be another election in 20 months, and it behooves us all to be very inquisitive about the beliefs of the people we’re voting for.
