NPR recently had a report on how disinformation is running rampant by the disinformers doing what it amounts to lying with the partial truth. [FOX news](https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/gila-bend-calls-state-of-emergency-over-migrant-arrivals) has been making reports about the immigrant “crisis” by talking about the state of emergency in cities like Gila Bend, making it sound as if the crisis is happening everywhere, when in reality is just incompetency from ICE and others for releasing the few families with a reason to be admitted in small cities with very little resources. Even the Arizona Republican Newspaper is better than that by not omitting in the headline that CBP is not doing the right thing. [https://www.azfamily.com/news/gila-bend-declares-state-of-emergency-as-cbp-continues-to-drop-loads-of-migrants-in/article\_2069e048-8c4c-11eb-8078-e37acd653393.html](https://www.azfamily.com/news/gila-bend-declares-state-of-emergency-as-cbp-continues-to-drop-loads-of-migrants-in/article_2069e048-8c4c-11eb-8078-e37acd653393.html) Still, while the AR points at why this is an emergency for small cities, that is a big problem, but not a crisis for all the US. > **[Is there a crisis at the border?

Dominion goes after FOX’s lies to the tune of 1.6 Billion Dollars. > **[Dominion Voting sues Fox for $1.6B over 2020 election claims](https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-donald-trump-media-lawsuits-elections-912eea8e168f95d51dec02da78ac2760?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark)** > > WASHINGTON (AP) — Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News on Friday, arguing the cable news giant, in an effort to boost faltering ratings, falsely claimed that the voting company had rigged the 2020 election. > Still, some Fox News employees elevated false charges that Dominion had changed votes through algorithms in its voting machines that had been created in Venezuela to rig elections for the late dictator Hugo Chavez. On-air personalities brought on Trump allies Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, who spread the claims, and then amplified those claims on Fox News’ massive social media platforms. > > Dominion said in the lawsuit that it tried repeatedly to set the record straight but was ignored by Fox News. > > The company argues that Fox News, a network that features several pro-Trump personalities, pushed the false claims to explain away the former president’s loss. The cable giant lost viewers after the election and was seen by Trump and some supporters as not being supportive enough of the Republican. > > Attorneys for Dominion said Fox News’ behavior differs greatly from that of other media outlets that reported on the claims. > > “This was a conscious, knowing business decision to endorse and repeat and broadcast these lies in order to keep its viewership,” said attorney Justin Nelson, of Susman Godfrey. > > Though Dominion serves 28 states, until the 2020 election it had been largely unknown outside the election community. It is now widely targeted in conservative circles, seen by millions of people as one of the main villains in a fictional tale in which Democrats nationwide conspired to steal votes from Trump, the lawsuit said. > > [Dominion’s employees, from its software engineers to its founder, have been harassed](https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-georgia-state-elections-media-elections-6e30f557f7a015cc9fda9549d2778670). Some received death threats. And the company has suffered “enormous and irreparable economic harm,” lawyers said. > > One employee, Eric Coomer, told the AP he had to go into hiding over death threats because of the false claims. [He has sued the Trump campaign](https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-joe-biden-donald-trump-colorado-media-537ef789db98c14dcd4699c9f386a7b2), conservative media columnists and conservative media outlets Newsmax and One America News Network. ---

My favorite bit: “Joe Biden’s dog is now the leading cause of death in America. Do you know what it was when Donald Trump was president? **There wasn’t one**.” That was some brilliant writing. 😆 ---

“The Biden White House has literally erased Dr Seuss.” Not one word of the sentence is true. The WH had nothing to do with it, and nothing was erased - literally, or figuratively. ---

Well, Biden refused to nationalize the publishing industry, and put in place rules to force publishers to print books that they deemed unsuitable. I can only think THAT is what Right-wingers are trying to tell us they want; Full government control over private business and corporations. ---

In case you were wondering if the Matt Gaetz news is important enough to have anywhere on the front page of foxnews, the answer is no, no it is not. Which leaves it below Amanda Bynes’ apparent love for Soulcycle and how Queen Elizabeth is dealing with the cancellation of an obscure Easter event which are currently front page news. ---

Gaetz-Gates was on a Hannity TV hit with Gym Jordan this week and Hannity asked about Gyms potential to run for the open Senate seat. Gaetz got really excited/agitated and said he would endorse Gym for “Pope.” It seemed strange at the time, but not now. He’s the first true orange grifter/criminal in congress that we can get the details on to prosecute for crimes outside of the right wing bubble. Now we need to balkanize and split the right wing media so they are arguing with themselves over the 70 year old racist vote, and nothing else ever again. ---
