Where's the Evidence? Fox News Host Presses Sidney Powell on Voter Fraud. She Has Responded.

Fox News has had its moments during this election cycle. There’s been considerable frustration and anger with the hosts. Election Night was a disaster for the network. Other hot mic moments have infuriated viewers. They cut away from a Trump White House presser on voter fraud. It’s been a mess. Tucker Carlson appeared to have taken a swipe at his colleagues, noting you just can’t cut away from news coverage that you don’t like. Yet, last night, it was different. Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell says she has evidence of vote fraud. She said that it will prove that President Trump won in a landslide.

The voter fraud scandal itself, if true, would be the biggest in American history by more than a few touchdowns. It would be cataclysmic, to say the least—and yet—she didn’t come onto Tucker’s show. The reason: when pressed for evidence to back up these claims, she got frustrated and told Fox News not to contact her (via WaPo):

Tucker has seen enough (of Sidney Powell anyway)

As Fox News host Tucker Carlson noted on Thursday night, he’s more than willing to give airtime to outlandish claims. “We literally do UFO segments,” he said.

But even Carlson said he was fed up with the total lack of evidence produced by Sidney Powell, one of the Trump campaign’s attorneys, for her unfounded allegation that electronic voting systems had switched millions of ballots to favor President-elect Joe Biden.

“We invited Sidney Powell on the show. We would have given her the whole hour,” Carlson said. “But she never sent us any evidence, despite a lot of requests, polite requests. Not a page. When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her.”

Carlson also noted: “She never demonstrated that a single actual vote was moved illegitimately by software from one candidate to another. Not one.”

… Carlson didn’t discount the larger claims of Trump’s attorneys that massive fraud disrupted the election — an allegation that has been repeatedly dismissed in court and for which the White House has presented no public evidence.

[…]

The segment also put Carlson at odds with other Fox News hosts like Jesse Watters, who on his Thursday show described Powell and Giuliani’s news conference as “a big shot of adrenaline.”

Well, she responded this morning (via Washington Examiner):

Trump attorney Sidney Powell fires back: Tucker Carlson was 'insulting, demanding, and rude' -- https://t.co/leMZ1Scj7d -- for @dcexaminer pic.twitter.com/CTDKxZnJql— Daniel Chaitin (@danielchaitin7) November 20, 2020

Sidney Powell, an attorney on President Trump's election legal team, shot back at Fox News host Tucker Carlson the morning after he said she "got angry" and refused to provide evidence on his show for her claims of voting software flipping votes.

"No, I didn’t get angry with the request to provide evidence," the former federal prosecutor said Friday morning during an interview with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo.

"In fact, I sent an affidavit to Tucker that I had not even attached to a pleading yet to help him understand the situation, and I offered him another witness who could explain the mathematics and the statistical evidence far better than I can. I’m not really a numbers person," she added.

"But he was very insulting, demanding, and rude, and I told him not to contact me again, in those terms," Powell concluded.

He said, she said, but pulling back from this spat between Carlson and Powell—there needs to be some sort of significant development regarding her Dominion allegations, a sequel that should drop soon—something—because the clock is running out.

Just to clarify, if you pay for cable tv you are paying all of the LEFTIST media channels in the basic bundle. The only way to defund them is to cancel cable tv.

The subscriber fee is a substantial portion of their revenue. CNN gets over half of its revenue from subscriber fees. They receive those subscriber fees whether you watch them or not.

Sorry, Tucker has revealed the arrogant, insulting ego that drives him. I can't stomach that reality long enough to watch the prick little nettle any more. Who does the little nettle think he is? He is not the god-like court of public opinion he presumes to be. When I want news now, it is OAN for me, never FOX again.

If the data Sydney says she sent to this little nettle is correct, then Tucker is not to be believed. He is smearing Sydney because his prickish little ego is rejected.

Did Tucker ever demand that Mueller shell out the evidence in a matter of days?

There’s no legitimate reason why voting machine software should provide an algorithm that adjusts vote totals proportionally based on some system adjustable parameter. If this is confirmed in the source code it should cause a complete audit of all electronic vote totals to document where this logic was applied to the presidential race.

Instead of having Sidney Powell on, why doesn't Chatworth find out where Eric Coomer is and do some ambush journalism that Conservatives have to perpetually put up with?

This is all more noise. Ignore the noise ... follow the signal. Dominion will not show up to verify that their machines don’t cheat.

I offered him another witness who could explain the mathematics and the statistical evidence far better than I can. I'm not really a numbers person,

I listened to one of those statisticians, a guy from MIT and two programmer types. They said the downward sloping curve in Michigan precincts was caused by SW switching votes from Trump to Biden in proportion to Republican straight ticket voters.

The simpler explanation is that the same proportion of non-straight-Republican voters voted against Trump in every precinct.

The even simpler explanation is that they just need to hand count a single precinct that the statisticians claim was most affected. Hand count 2,000 or so votes and see if they are correct. They are almost certainly not correct.

There may be better stastistical cases than that one and I certainly hope there are.

Giuliani had it right at the news conference when he told the media, “we’re doing YOUR job”. The media, including Fox, are sitting like baby birds, waiting to be fed. They won’t lift a finger to do any actual investigating.

Her argument is that the software has been designed to cheat,

A hand recount would find that easily. I've been told in other threads that Dominion machines in Georgia had the cheating feature turned off. Another explanation was that the hand recount numbers were ignored when they didn't match. Neither explanation is very satisfying.

That's true. But a hand recount would show if that feature was turned on or not.
