Holey Moley ! Fox News guy just said ...

[left-of-center2012]

Eric Shawn, Fox News Channel Anchor/ Senior Correspondent,
just said (and I am paraphrasing)

“There is no evidence of fraud in this election and any claims to the contrary are an insult to the thousands of poll workers across the country who worked hard to bring us a fair and honest election.”

[doc03]

1. They don't like Fox News anymore because the

news people aren't covering for Dear Leader.

[calimary]

41. And that's the key, right there.

At least the "news side" of Pox Noise seems to be interested in COVERING Dear Leader, instead of COVERING FOR Dear Leader. It's the obstructionist nighttime screech-owls with their fantasy opinion shows who are dragging their heels and who are complicit in the wholesale denial of reality within trumpworld.

[Major Nikon]

42. Q fan at work said nearly the exact same thing

Me: Fox News said Biden won

Him: Fox News left us a long time ago

He then went on a ramble about how the "media" is controlled by Soros, et al.

[diverdownjt]

2. Someone dont want their job anymore....n/t

[onetexan]

9. No, it's because Fox is ready to move on from the Con. Better for business.

[PatSeg]

22. Yes and Trump made the mistake of

throwing Fox under the bus too many times, the network who helped make him president. He underestimates the power behind Fox News. Murdoch and family are far richer and more powerful that Trump could ever dream of. They made him, they can break him.

[True Blue American]

33. I listened to Fox

About an hour this morning. You would have thought it was MSNBC!

[Cha]

37. Wow.. they are ready to move on!!

[joshcryer]

3. Fox News has been saying this since the day it was called.

Only Tucker Carlson and a few other holdovers have really parroted Trump's lines. It's been a refreshing view of their network. But don't be fooled. Trump was their useful idiot. They still support far right causes and evil. They are just done with Trump because Trump is a failure.

And they don't like failure.

[RainCaster]

4. Not failure, but LOSER

The proper spelling is in all caps.

[mr_lebowski]

11. LOOSER also works ...

[RainCaster]

14. Either way, the RWNJs will go berserk

They seem to fixate on anything in all caps, because that is how Dear Leader tweets.

[lastlib]

30. I had a looser trump yesterday morning.....

too much coffee, I think. Took 10-15 flushes, and half a roll of trump paper.

[mr_lebowski]

52. I know that can't be true cause Trump said he fixed the whole water flow problem

Singlehandedly thwarted that whole evil liberal water-limiting scheme!

It's over now, for suburban housewives and all who love them.

[shanti]

58. As does

LA-HOOSER!

[LiberalLovinLug]

13. I don't think the GOP sees his term as a failure either

He got them a huge tax cut for themselves and their wealthy donors.

And, his brand of populism that won enough votes to win in 2016, got them three, count em, three conservative Republican leaning, SCOTUS judges for decades. Not to mention hundreds of other federal judges.

And Mitch and Lindsey and the other Trump enablers go on to do more damage, as their party begins to plan for their work stoppage in January

[RainCaster]

17. They are forever stained by the corruption of DFT

Yes, they got what they wanted, but they will pay a high price for that.

[LiberalLovinLug]

20. I hope so but I don't think so

Republican brand didn't take much of a hit after
Reagan's illegal contra war, lying about it.
Bush Jr.s illegal domestic spying, lying about WMD, then profiteering on the same war they lied America into. Not to mention throwing the country into a depression.
Each time, they may lose a branch of government here and there, for a term or two, but they have never allowed the trifecta for Democrats of holding all three branches of gov. for decades now, at least for long enough to do anything.

The Tea Party didn't die, it just morphed into MAGA.
And if that 40 45% of the country STILL supports that kind of rhetoric, then the MSM will never demonize them. They are consumers first, Americans deserving the truth second.

Wake me up when they've paid that price. I want to be there to enjoy it.

[RainCaster]

29. Sadly, they won't pay the price unless they're held criminally liable

Unless every last one of the is tried and convicted, this will be deemed an acceptable price to pay. The historic corruption of the Trump administration will not be a liability to the GOP unless every last sleazeball is prosecuted, fined into bankruptcy, and imprisoned until death.
Yeah that sounds harsh. It is. It has to be, or they will do it again.
The Republicans have gotten away with this shit since Nixon was in office. It's time to stop this once and for all.
The list of his enablers is endless, but let's start with all of DFT's family, Barr, Giuliani, Bannon, Kelly Ann, Miller... You get the idea. Anyone who ever served in DFT's administration needs to be run through the wringer.
Any potential employers need to know that these people will be held up in court for a long time, and possibly a lengthy sentence, too. They need to be as unemployed as much of our country is.

[Wednesdays]

47. Sorry...what is DFT?

I'm not very good at acronyms.

[kedrys]

48. Donald F***cking Trump

[onetexan]

25. Exactly. To moscow mitch the Con was a useful idiot for them to carry out their GOP agenda

Thats why they looked the other way every time. We need to make sure the 2 GA Senate seats are won to break mcconnell's obstructionist streak.

[Archae]

5. Lou Dobbs on Faux "business" had on Devin Nunes...

And even Nunes said flat out the "voter fraud" claims and "Trump actually won" stories aren't true.

Dobbs threw a FIT.

https://crooksandliars.com/2020/11/good-lord-congressman-lou-dobbs-shrieks

[Rice4VP]

12. At what point in the video did he say this? I

listened to as much as possible but Dobbs’ delusions just made me annoyed

[Archae]

16. About at 4 minutes in.

Dobbs is throwing a fit, while Nunesis whining about social media.

[onlyadream]

32. Jeesh, I used to watch him back when he was on CNN

Dobbs and Rudy really drank the kool-aid

[True Blue American]

46. Dobb's really had a decent show

Last edited Mon Nov 16, 2020, 04:35 PM - Edit history (1)

When he was on CNN

Did you hear Geraldo tell Trump he had fought a valiant fight but it was now time to move on!

His wife had a Biden sign in their front yard. Geraldo had one undecided!

[onlyadream]

57. I guess Dobb's was good at hiding his crazy.

Or did he just get crazy to get a pay check?

[robbob]

21. Sorry, I didn't hear Nunes say that.

I’d watch again, but OMG what a never ending stream of horse shit. Starting with Nunes declaring that Nancy Pelosi is the biggest threat to national security agencies in the country. Completely ignoring all the damage tRump did in contradicting and lying about these agencies. And Lou Dobbs with his best “concerned and authoritative” Walter Cronkite impersonation; “we all know this, we’ve all seen it...”.

You want to know why the election was so close? You want to know why these crooks and thieves keep getting re-elected? Watch the clip at the link (if you can stomach it), and then imagine having this shit playing on the tv 12 or more hours a day as background noise. It is absolutely brainwashing, and it’s almost literally unbelievable. Lou Dobbs is suggesting on this show that Republicans should just refuse to accept the results of this election, and is in fact vilifying the GOP for not standing by tRump and stating that they will not accept the election results. Even as case after case is thrown out of court, and no factual proof is presented of fraud.

It’s frightening. Watch if you dare...

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

44. A 5 million+ vote difference is not a "close election."

Figuring out why nearly half the voters chose to continue with this shithead as president -- now that's the thing that puzzles and scares the shit out of me. I'm beginning to understand how Hitler rose to power. Racism -- or in his case, anti-semitism -- is a powerful motivator.

[OldBaldy1701E]

53. Well...

The thing about racism is that, nowadays, it is quite profitable. For both sides. You remove the incentive, you remove the blight of racism. You have to remove the one true motivator in this country... greed. Until then, you cannot remove anything that makes someone richer. And, racism/anti-racism sells. Sad, but true.

[lastlib]

31. WHAT??!? Devin let the COW out of the barn??!?

Hell froze over??

[Cha]

38. omg.. Nunes?! Of course dobbs thew

a fit.. he's a Lying asshole

But so is nunes.. wonder what changed him on this?

[llashram]

7. this

[Eyeball_Kid]

10. Fox has a weak news department, and

an imbecilic set of opinion shows, all of which are lie factories.

Ergo, they have millions of true believing fans.

[Yavin4]

28. Power is a curious thing.

Power resides where men think it resides. It's a trick. A shadow on the wall.

Fox News doesn't respect Trump any more because he doesn't have power.

[stopdiggin]

43. Trump was damaging their brand

As you say -- a long running "useful idiot"
But when your figurehead is generally perceived as slobber at the mouth, "needs to be put down", level nut job -- you've lost a lot of your marketing ability. There's only so many people out there that are willing to take slobber at the mouth seriously. They rode their hobby-horse as far as it will go -- and now they'll move on to their next right wing cut-out.

(who, unfortunately, might be a great deal more effective, savvy and dangerous -- if only by way of being a functional human being.)

[birdographer]

6. The rats are all abandoning the sinking ship.

[CatMor]

8. It is also an insult to the millions of voters who did their ..

patriotic duty by voting. I'm insulted by trump inferring I fraudulently voted.

[MustLoveBeagles]

15. +1

[Deacon Blue]

18. Sell-Outs on FOX!

We need a real right wing media, now that Fox is in the tank for Biden. Newsmax, OAAN (?) are firing torpedoes at the Plague Ship Murdoch. Bet he fires back, although that validates and gives oxygen to the upstarts.

‘Things fall apart, the Center Right cannot hold.’

Too fuckin’ bad...

[Traildogbob]

19. Not all!!!

Do Knobs, Hannity, Cucker Tarlson and Lower Ingaham are still firmly inserted up his fat ass. There will be no room up that canal for prison sex, they will still be up there stroking that prostate with pride. Geraldo will come visit to assist and say hi to his pals and smuggle adrenal and a straw.
If his rich white privilege keeps him free and starts a Network they will be headliners, with Hey-Lee MAGANinny, Jr’s Ho and the whole spawn KKKlan. Imagine the sponsors!!!!

[skip fox]

23. Eric Shawn is one of the 1/2 real ones.

Mike Wallace is another.

[tiredtoo]

24. One of the cultists

of my acquaintance told me "Fox has been bought out by a rich left-winger. The things those people will believe is beyond my imagination.

[Lucinda]

26. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[C Moon]

27. Fux probably has a new Russian owned politician to sell.

It just hit me that Trump could split the GOP in two in upcoming elections if these QAnon freaks stay behind him.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

34. I guess they're gearing up to be Pissolini's competitors rather than his attack dog.

[LymphocyteLover]

35. do MAGAts care about anyone getting insulted?

I don't think so

[Cha]

36. TY for reporting back from fox.. "No evidence of Fraud"

There is no evidence of fraud in this election and any claims to the contrary are an insult to the thousands of poll workers across the country who worked hard to bring us a fair and honest election".

[Raven123]

39. I'm guessing FOX is tired of Trump taking credit for it's success.

[Grins]

40. He said that last week, too.

Outside the place in Philly where the counting was taking place. Kinda’ vented at the mere suggestion there was cheating going on. Clip is on YouTube.

[BobTheSubgenius]

45. It's as if the last 4 years have shaken some sense into them.

I can barely believe some of the things they are saying and doing at Fox now.

[mtnsnake]

49. Here's a link to the video of it.

The part that left-of-center mentioned comes toward the end of the video, but the entire video is not very long and is worth watching. It might surprise you as to how far Eric Shawn of Fox went to disprove the nonsense from Trump about election fraud.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-anchor-eric-shawn-debunks-fox-news-voter-fraud-claims

[Kablooie]

50. Fox must have decided that Trump isn't their guy anymore.

They would only say this kind of thing if they had permission to do so.

So reports of Trump planning to support a different news network to
drive Fox out of business must be true.

[anamnua]

51. There are commercial pressures on Fox to become more mainstream/centrist. NT.

[olegramps]

54. Intense propaganda campaigns can divorce even the sane from reality.

Especially hate propaganda that preys of people's prejudices and their own financial insecurity.

The real beneficiaries of this are the well connected and wealthy who use it to suppress any opposition to their continued rape of their ignorant victims. They consider them as useful idiots who keep the attention directed away from the actual causes of their miserable condition. They can then sit back and enjoy watching them destroy any hope of the improvement of their lot. Once put into action is virtually automatic resulting is increasing acceptance of the most bizarre and ridiculous accusations and conspiracies. It is a story repeated over and over again.

[cstanleytech]

55. Fox is worried that it will lose viewers after being one of Trumps water carriers so it wants to go

back to its old lie of being fair and balanced.

[Evolve Dammit]

56. How ironic that some Faux News staff are actually standing up after creating this monster. 4+ yrs.
