Title: Faux "News" Gets Their Ass Handed to Them
Post by: Dark Lightning on April 19, 2023, 03:29:20 AM
I'd really rather it had gone to trial and the full $1.6 BILLION USD was handed over to Dominion, but they settled, pre-trial, for $787.5 MILLION. Next up is Giulani, and there's another voting machine company out hunting heads, as well. Will this make the magats happy? No, and they'll bitch about conspiracies and unfairness. Har-de-har-har on Faux "News"

I was reading about that--the trial would have been more damaging to Fox News. As it is, they'll just take the financial hit and carry on. In a trial, propagandists like Carlson and Ingraham would be put on the stand and have to publicly admit that they were indeed spinning yarns of used toilet paper for their gullible audience.

They would also have to admit that they knew perfectly well what they were doing. The evidence already made public pins them down. While the existence of that evidence has not made a dent in their audience as far as I can tell, admissions under oath would be hard to ignore.

Trump supporters are professional reality deniers. A little bit more reality won't make the slightest difference to them. They live in perpetual denial.

True enough on both counts. At least they got publicly and economically spanked. Their followers will probably donate a bunch to help them out. Look how the followers donated to the chump when he was indited.  ::)

Something of that order.
