Fox News debunking it's own hosts

Since I suspect most of us self-select towards avoiding Fox News, a bit that may interest us all.

While the article doesn’t say so explicitly, I strongly suspect this is an effort to mitigate the probably lawsuits heading Fox’s way, and if so, I hope it is only the beginning. Having said that, I am actually rather looking forward to the post-airing Trump tweetstorm - although considering what has been recently reported as having happened with Flynn and Powell in the Oval office, maybe I should be worried instead.

How is that going to help? Does Fox think the last twelve years will just vanish from memory?

Yes, they’ve just ordered a whole boatload of those flashy things from Men in Black.

I don’t think Trump watches Fox anymore. Didn’t they hurt his feelings by being the first to call Arizona for Biden?

Dominion has sent them a lawyer’s letter that apparently has real teeth behind. You can lie about election rigging, but you cannot slander the innocent company and destroy their business.

Newsmax is having to do it, too.

It’s very clear what would happen if the Orange Menace achieved his objective of becoming Dictator-for-Life: the judicial branch of the government would be abolished. Damned courts and judges are obsessed with facts, and that’s just unacceptable. Facts are awful things, and should be illegal.

ETA: I hadn’t heard about the Newsmax bit, but the story of how Fox News had to renounce the rantings of a couple of their own resident lunatics was heartwarming! :slight_smile:

Hah! They’ve been out of real lawyering for too long to remember how scary a corporate lawyer can be!

That reaction… so, backing down instead of doubling down, when someone points out the Law is on the other guys’ side, is being “WEAK”? Tells you a lot about how their audience view the world.

America’s Voice just expanded their audience.
