Now that you say that, I think I may have heard her speak about this. Maybe with Tucker before he took a wrong turn?
It would explain why she can say she’s an eyewitness to it.
Ever since the media was threatened to not report on Obama’s eligibility problems I think Fox has been controlled opposition when it comes to staying silent on important stories that don’t fit the “official narrative”.
Lukhova was a graduate student who specialized in 1930’s Soviet intelligence/repression institutions.
I suspect that terms in Fox’s settlement with Dominion Voting Systems prohibit Fox from presenting stories that question the immaculate perfection of the elections of 2016 or 2020.
My wild guess just for fun: Peter Navarro steered material and/or sources to Maria Baritomo (hereafter “MB”), and pushed her to do a story with new evidence about Chinese election interference. Fox execs ordered MB to desist due to the settlement. MB sent Navarro the exec’s memo to explain that she was blocked. She might have intended to get pressure applied to Fox, or just to get Navarro to stop pushing her.
Fox’s business plan is to lock up the conservative audience and use their numbers to bring in big advertising bucks. IMO, Fox’s conservativism/Trump support is just a pretense — it’s just bait for the “rightwing yahoos”. They don’t want the Truth, just an exciting game.
