The Lying Liars Of Faux News Finally Fess Up
They all knew. Yet, the lies kept flowing.
From The Washington Post:
“Sidney Powell is lying,” Tucker Carlson wrote to a producer about the Trump lawyer, who once claimed in a guest spot that voting technology companies “flipped” Trump votes to Biden. “Terrible stuff damaging everybody,” wrote company founder Rupert Murdoch, about wild claims raised by Powell and fellow Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani. The recipient of his note, Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott, agreed. In another message, Murdoch referred to the claims as “really crazy stuff” and said that it was “very hard to credibly claim foul everywhere.” And of Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, Fox’s prime-time roster seemed to share a common opinion during these fraught weeks. He’s “acting like an insane person,” wrote Sean Hannity, star of the network’s 9 p.m. show, while his 10 p.m. colleague Laura Ingraham concurred: “Such an idiot.”
Still, they persisted. Continued to carry water for the gullible and easily-led down the primrose path to 1/6 and beyond. Dominion and Smartmatic both sued Fox News and parent company News Corp for a combined $4.3 billion.
Yet, the company’s talking parrots, Carlson in particular, voiced fears over a story they got correctly — the election night call for Arizona to Biden.
