What is Fox News afraid of....There mantra has always been to let people have their opinion even if it is bullshit....Fox is what it condemns, a propaganda arm of the Republican Party and Donald Trump!!!

Quote:

Fox Settled a Lawsuit Over Its Lies. But It Insisted on One Unusual Condition.
Why did the network insist an agreement with the family of a murdered young man remain undisclosed until after the election?

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/17/business/media/fox-news-seth-rich-settlement....

But of course, that's the beauty of it. It's the Ailes/Hannity/Trump method. Get in first - accuse your opponent before he accuses you.

Remember Hannity's flash drive of Russian dirt on Hunter Biden? For days Hannity drummed up anticipation. Deep state exposed, breaking, shocking, you won't believe your eyes. Exclusive - no one else will show you. Why won't the fake news come out with the truth? What are they trying to hide?

Then the lawyers got to him.

Look, we wouldn't want to see Hunter do anything stupid. Some parts of the media are piling on, and that's unfair. Hunter's not running for office here. It would be nice if the media could show some restraint, as we have. It help to remember that behind these breaking stories are people, with lives just like you and I.

Hannity has since apologised for his lies about Dominion, but the lies come nightly. When Hannity, political commentator, got up on stage with Trump, he pointed at the network cameras and called them fake news, getting the easiest applause you can from a Trump crowd.

Those journalists, of course, are Hannity's colleagues, but he doesn't see it that way. Hannity sees them as prey in a ratings war. In the end, Hannity stopped pretending he was in the political commentary business, joined Trump and became a political player - someone would could make audiences boo at his competitors like a circus ringmaster.

That's what I mean by childish. What difference does it make if a piece of lint like me forgives them?

Now now, Homo. Don't be like that. You're important.

Remember, pieces of lint have a vote, dear. Murdoch just uses you to sell ads to. Trump just uses you to sell Trump steaks to. But collectively, you have the power to send guys like that back to where they came from.

You'll have to be more specific. Lower Manhattan or Oxford University?

Back to Clan HQ in Manhattan may be best.

Back to Canberra to legislate some form of print media oversight.

You'll note the old boy's first reference point for his spineless defence of Fox News: the Australian.

Cunning, no?

Biden is living (barely) proof of Stalin's observation that the power is not with those who cast their votes but with those who count them.

You see? Here, the old boy cunningly does away with elections altogether. 49 US state elections - rigged. No different to the USSR under Stalin.

Is that why Fox sacked the guy who called Arizona, dear? Four Corners seemed to be saying he was sacked for telling the truth. You're saying he was sacked for telling a lie.

Oh my, it's so complicated, isn't it? Who to believe? Who to trust?

Mr Trump seems nice. Hannity likes him - he calls him Mr President. Besides, Mr Trump has lived a life of honesty and integrity. Rigged, witch hunt, so unfair.

Thanks, old boy, you've done it again.

The Republicans have recounted the votes at least three times in some states, and Mr Biden still comes out as the clear winner.

Playing the village idiot again are you sore end?

If anything, the power of who counted them was with trump. He was the sitting president at the time. Biden was in no position to do anything

He's right, Greggery. They only recounted a few states. They merely audited the others.

In fact, this was the most audited election in US history. Trump's own Homeland Security chief said that. It was also the only election where much of the counting was broadcast online.

So unfair. How's Mr Trump got a chance? You tell me that.
