New trove of documents released in Smartmatic case against Fox. [Documents Add Detail to Fox Hosts’ Desire to Help Trump - The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/business/media/fox-news-trump-election-documents.html) > In one text message, Mr. Watters, who now hosts “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Fox News, said to his colleague Greg Gutfeld: “Think about how incredible our ratings would be if Fox went ALL in on STOP THE STEAL,” a reference to the movement trying to overturn the results of the election. > > Ms. Pirro, a former Fox News host who is now the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., under President Trump, told Ronna McDaniel, then the Republican National Committee chair, in a text in the months before the election: “I work so hard for the President and party.” Ms. Pirro had been pushing for a pardon from Mr. Trump for her ex-husband, Smartmatic argues. There’s also this detail. > As with the documents released in the course of the Dominion case, the internal communications revealed in Smartmatic’s case show Fox executives, including Rupert Murdoch, whose family controls the company, becoming increasingly concerned about the audience reaction to its election coverage. According to the filings, Mr. Murdoch said in an email to Suzanne Scott, the Fox News chief executive, in the days after the election: “Getting creamed by CNN! Guess our viewers don’t want to watch it.” > > At the same time, Mr. Murdoch and others did not believe the voter fraud claims, according to emails and text messages included in the filings. ---

Well, this is disappointing. [Lachlan Murdoch Secures Control of Fox and News Corp, Ending Succession Fight - The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/business/media/murdoch-family-trust-succession-deal.html) > Lachlan Murdoch has completed an agreement to secure control of his family’s sprawling media empire for decades to come, the family announced on Monday. The deal ensures that the empire’s various outlets, including Fox News, The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal, will remain conservative after his father Rupert’s death. It is valued at $3.3 billion, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > I officially object to the misuse of the word _conservative_ in this instance; _radically right-wing_ is the more accurate description (and therefore, by definition, the correct term). Conservative has multiple definitions, and the political label of “conservative” in many ways is the opposite of every other way that term is used. That doesn’t make it “wrong”. English doesn’t have to make sense. For example,“flammable” and “inflammable” have the same meaning. The language is what it is, despite your personal preferences you keep insisting on the rest of the world accepting. ---

It would be interesting to observe how the arch-conservative William F Buckley would navigate today’s America. He would most surely be conflicted, and I suspect he would seek to maintain an uncharacteristically low profile. ---

He vociferously beat the fan’s drum for Ronnie, unrelentingly. Ronnie is wholly responsible for pushing the Republican Party off the cliff, and Will was onboard the whole way.
