Fox Debunks Their Own Hosts

Quote:After voting technology company Smartmatic sent Fox News a blistering legal threat that accused the network of participating in a "disinformation campaign" against it, the network has started airing a remarkable news package debunking claims its hosts and guests have propagated.

OANN and the like are stealing Fux's mojo. And the company brass is refuting Hannity's ravings last I heard.

Hmm..... sounds like the legal system needs to be weaponized against the media conspiracy personalities and outlets.

First amendment would get in the way.

Hasn't stopped Trump and allies from filing. This case indicates that sometimes the threat is enough.

The court decides if it's a violation, so many cases do go to court.

The "court of public opinion" is much easier to manipulate.

Long before this pandemic, even long before Trump ran, Murdoch and Fox for nearly 30 years, have been doing nothing but selling propaganda and conspiracy. The last show that Fox had that was balanced was "Hannity & Colmes". But when Colmes wouldn't play punching bag, Fox ditched him. 

I cannot swear to it, but I'd bet the reason that Sheppard Smith left Fox was because he was tired of his network's blatant lies. But I'd also bet the reason this propaganda keeps perpetuating on that network are because of contractual NDAs. So the "talent", and yes, that is what the hosts are called, want to earn a paycheck, so they cant discuss the recipe the network uses to attract viewers. 

These threats of lawsuits were needed 30 years ago. The only reason it worked this time, is because you have a business with money Fox attacked and had the means to fight back.

This isn't new the actual news element of Fox (such as it is) has been competing with its opinion branch for a while. Hell Fox had to discredit Carlson Tucker to avoid a defamation suit.
