not sure what you’re getting at. but i think the correct answer is that none of them lied. you could argue that they were wrong but believed completely what they were holding to.
but not that they lied. you lie when you can get something big or keep from losing something big by lying. not when you stand to lose everything you have by lying including your business, your freedom, your reputation, etc. by going up against power and influence.
the smart lie is and was always to lie that there was never any election fraud by dominion, es&s, etc. that way you gain by acceptance with the group in power: the ruling class elite that have control of our elections through many means.
so fox news is more likely the lying conspirators with dominion then true opposition. otherwise, they’re just clueless, which is harder to swallow. imo, dominion is partly gaslighting, helping fox news with their clueless viewers by suing them for show. they don’t expect to win. but losing is also a win for them and fox. and ultimately they are on the same team. if they win, it’s icing on the cake. and deep pockets fox can pay them off.
What I am getting at is that the headline says the Fox hosts doubt the election was stolen, but the article says that they had problems with Powell’s claims.
You can doubt the ekection and doubt Powell’s claims. It is not a choice of one or the other here.
“the smart lie is and was always to lie that there was never any election fraud”
Well said. It just confirms the fact that they’re whores.
