FOX News' Counter-Offensive

They are surrendering nothing.

They will continue to lie. Yesterday, they brought on KellyAnne Conway to let people know that they are being lied to. But, it is not FOX that is lying to them. It's the "fake news" and the leftists. No one can define an "alternate reality" like KellyAnne.

They have no plans on paying anyone anything.

They say they are the only network speaking for the "other side".

Democrats should continue to put pressure on Murdoch to get rid of the "liars" on his network, masquerading as news hosts.

Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jeanine Pirro, Maria Bartiromo, and the other liars should not be permitted to continue their lying.

Their boss has told the truth on them and Democrats should not let them forget it.

How big is the Rupert Murdoch (FOXNews) story of lies and deceit?

Follow the $$$$$$$$$$$$.

The corruption seems to go on for infinity.

FOX News is a propaganda arm for the Republican Party. Donald Trump works hand-in-hand with Rupert Murdoch. Do not be deceived by the "criticism" from Trump. The Republican Party still supports Donald Trump. FOX News, the Republican Party, and Donald Trump are all on the same team and support the same lies and propaganda.

In 2019, the FOX Corporation sold much of their holdings to Disney for $71 billion dollars. This enriched the Murdoch family immensely. They did not sell FOX News, FOX Sports, or local FOX stations.

It is reported that 61% of the Murdoch empire is owned by other stockholders? They could actually sue Murdoch and FOX News if it was to their benefit.

We can see the conspiracy of lies with Murdoch, Trump, and the Republicans, but who does Trump give his loyalty? Is Vladimir Putin still part of this conspiracy picture?

The dark money has taken over American politics and much of it is switched thru the people mentioned above.

Did anyone watch Weissman and Katyal on Lawrence O'Donnell's show last night?

In my opinion, they are two of the most respected and authoritative sources on cable television. And Lawrence is no slouch.

But, they were very critical of the job Chris Wray and the FBI have done, especially since the January 6th insurrection. Chris Wray should have investigated the tips and information that was received by the FBI before insurrection. He did not.

Also, there were FBI agents that did not want to do a search warrant on Mar-a-Lago. They tended to believe Trump and his lawyers when they said there were no more classified documents on their premises.

These were very serious allegations and pinpoint some major problems with the premier law-enforcement agency in this nation. Some FBI agents were either very partisan or were supporters of the Trump cult. Neither can be accepted if it interferes with the rule of law.

Although neither Weissman or Katyal said so much, my thoughts were that there need to be some changes made at the FBI, if for nothing else, to restore trust in the rule of law.

In my opinion, Joe Biden should give serious thought to replacing Chris Wray as head of the FBI and give Merrick Garland the authority to dismiss him. As his boss, he may already have the authority?

Also, election-deniers and supporters of the Big Lie within the FBI should be asked to resign from their positions.

Just my opinion.

Would you be surprised if you found out that some FBI agents were involved in attack on Capitol?

I remember how Rudy bragged about the help he was getting from FBI agents, both active and retired.

The FBI of Donald Trump and Christopher Wray were capable of joining the insurrection, in my opinion.

I doubt that a lot has changed with the FBI since January, 2021.

I would not be surprised if we heard this news.

An "alternate reality" that is dependent upon lies and the suppression of facts...

...is no reality at all. It is a fantasy world. It is a myth. It cannot survive.

It is just a matter of time.

Be patient.

How big is the FOX Bubble?

Murdoch and FOX executives believe that their viewers are loyal to FOX and Trump and that all other "news" networks are "fake news".

If they do not mention the defamation suit against them or the lies that their hosts told repeatedly, then their viewers will have no knowledge of either ever happening. Everything will remain the same in the "Bubble".

But how many people are in that bubble? Is it big enough to win another election? Or is it just big enough to destroy our democracy?

What is the difference in the FOX Bubble and the other networks so-called "fake news"? The "Bubble" wants to restrict what information is received by their viewers and despite the criticisms of the mainstream news media, they do not operate from a bubble, with the intent to strictly control the information received by their viewers.

The very least that Rupert Murdoch should do is to fire the hosts that promoted the Big Lie.

As evidence that they still consider themselves a news organization, they should cleanse themselves of the worst violators of the truth.

He should immediately release Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro, and all others, that knowingly lied to their viewers about the election results of the 2020 election.

Also, he should vow to never have liars such as Rudy Guiliani, Sidney Powell, or any Trump progeny on his network ever again.

Otherwise, he should be penalized very heavily for his lies that directly led to the insurrection of January 6th, 2021 and much of the current division in this country.

In order to get a lesser fine, he needs to cut these liars loose from his network.

Of course, Rupert Murdoch does not feel vulnerable about any of these charges. He may pay a substantial fine but he has done that before. That's just the price of doing propaganda.

The Warning - Steve Schmidt

February 28, 2023

The origins of the "Big Lie" have been uncovered, under oath.

Just as you may have imagined, it was a huge conspiracy.

Rupert Murdoch, the owner of FOXNews, has testified under oath and has thrown many of his broadcasters under the bus, by testifying that they knew the election had not been stolen. He attempted to cover for them by saying that they had "guests" on their programs that promoted the "Big Lie", when they knew they were not telling the truth.

He admitted that he had given Jared Kushner the Joe Biden political ads information before they were aired by the Democratic nominee. He talked with Mitch McConnell to try and dissuade him from the Big Lie strategy and McConnell refused to go along.

So the Big Lie was not just the creation of Donald Trump. It was promoted by FOXNews and the Republican Party. It was a three-legged stool of conspiracy.

Now, FOX is being sued for $1.6 billion by the voting machine company, Dominion, for defamation.

The origins of the Big Lie, and its threat to our democracy, are finally being uncovered.
