missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 135 Posts: 3999 | What is the cost of willful, intentional lying via mass media? $787.5 million to Dominion, that's how much. LOL, help me up, I fell off my chair from laughing so hard. Wow, what a great day for the force of truth, justice, and the American Way. Hopefully now the MAGA crowd will realize they've been duped, lied to, and brain-washed. |

And Fox probably learned not to lie about businesses. That's about it. Everything else is fair game still. "Facts are whatever I say they are." - Trump |

Fox News has been doing so well lately that they figure it was a justified expense. Gotta spend a billion to make ten billion. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 135 Posts: 3999 | My wife and I finished our morning workout this AM at the fitness center. She was on the treadmill and two ladies were on treadmills next to her: they had Fox News on and were obviously Kool-Aid drinkers. When my wife brought up the Dominion settlement the two women had no clue what she was talking about, and when she told them they said it was news to them, then one of them scoffed dismissively, saying "I'm sure there's a lot more to it;"then they continued to spew Trumpish nonsense. Of course were I Rupert Murdoch I would not be in a hurry to tell my audience how badly I'd screwed the pooch, how I got caught lying and had to pay huge money in order to slink away like a whipped dog with my tail between my legs. I must say I enjoyed watching Jake Trapper at CNN try to keep a straight face when reporting the story: funny as hell. But we'll soon get to see the other voting machine lawsuit, hopefully it won't settle. |

Their statement was absurd in that they referred to their "high journalistic standards". The BS is deep Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 135 Posts: 3999 | Gotta wonder how many of the Fox News loving MAGA crowd are and will remain blissfully unaware of the settlement and its implications? Also will this cold, stark reality cause any of them who become aware of it to turn away from Fox News or is the addiction too strong? |

DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 34 Posts: 3578 | I think the majority of the MAGA crowd left on election night when they called Arizona before the other scammers. What was left are the remaining conservatives, such as the Paul Ryan and Mike Pence crowd. They have been split since the election and still are. They should be easy to beat in a fair election since the party is split. On the other side, Kennedy is a good start but definitely not Biden. I don't see addiction issues. I'd say most of the silent majority are aware of the settlement. |
