Doesn’t that admission actually help Dominion? I mean, Hannity was under oath so telling the truth was a good idea, but still . . . I’d think the bosses are going to be a tad upset with him. ---

> [@Folacin](#): > > I’d think the bosses are going to be a tad upset with him. Remember that those same bosses instructed him not to push the election denial in the first place, or give airtime to election deniers. Both at Fox News and Fox Corp. (This is mentioned in that same article.) I wouldn’t be surprised if they were the ones that told him to cut the crap and tell the truth under oath. It’s not because they have integrity, it’s about damage control. I’m sure they know they’re going to lose this suit and doubling down is just going to make things worse. ---

Considering Fox is getting the snot sued out of it for election lies, I don’t think she can land there. Maybe Alex Jones can offer her something, at least temporarily. ---
