Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of Fox Corporation, once suggested that Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham could go on air and declare that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.
.... Snip....
On January 5, 2021, Murdoch emailed Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott: “It’s been suggested our prime time three should independently or together say something like ‘the election is over, and Joe Biden won.'”
He said that such a statement “would go a long way to stop the Trump myth that the election was stolen.”
Scott then forwarded Murdoch’s suggestion to Meade Cooper, the primetime programming SVP. He wrote: “I told Rupert that privately they are all there — we need to be careful about using the shows and pissing off the viewers but they know how to navigate.”
The lengthy filing makes revelations about the inner workings of the Fox News network following the 2020 election.
Text messages and emails between Fox hosts and executives reveal that while they privately accepted that Donald Trump had lost the election, the network continued to air pro-Trump conspiracy theories about election fraud.
Murdoch privately described the election fraud claims as “damaging” and “crazy,” according to the filing.
“Sydney Powell is lying,” Tucker Carlson said in a text message to his producer, misspelling Powell’s first name.Meanwhile Laura Ingraham said in a message to Carlson: “Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy.”
“It’s unbelievably offensive to me. Our viewers are good people and they believe it,” Carlson responded, according to court papers. These messages came in the weeks after the election. Dominion said in court papers that Fox admitted Hannity and Lou Dobbs’ shows did not “challenge the narrative” that Dominion was responsible for rigging the election or producing inaccurate results.

Sorry, FReepers, no concrete evidence has been presented.
If you want to claim every court in the nation is stacked against the truth, then put the tinfoil on your head. They are not.
The FACT is that Trump’s do-nothing attitude while state after state changed election laws during Covid led to his defeat.
Mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, months of voting were everything a Democrat could dream about...and Trump and his party did NOTHING to stop it.
In fact, in my Pennsylvania, it was the GOP that helped write mail-in ballot laws as they had the majority in the state Assembly and Senate.
It is time we stop whining about fraud and stolen elections and focus on winning using ballot harvesting so we can change these laws back.
Election day should be a single day where you show up to vote.
I am not saying that there was no fraud or malfeasance. There was. It was just not enough to overcome the perfectly LEGAL ballot harvesting that benefits the left more than the right.
Aren’t the machines changeable remotely? That might put a few doubts in people’s minds
How do you explain Dominion adding hundreds of thousands of votes from Trump to Biden in a blink of an eye on national TV?
ADL toady
Ballot harvesting, like collecting your families ballots that THEY FILLED OUT AND SIGNED, is not the same thing as fraudulent ballot manufacturing.
“Laura even cut Trump off interviewing him when he brought up fraudulent Mail-In Ballots and vote switching by Dominion.”
Yes, and I cut her off as a result.
Show your proof.
Deport the aussie trash and his whole corrupt brood.
They won by cheated in a dozen different ways. With tragic results. There’s no denying it.
Of course we need to wake up & smell the coffee and get our own racket going, and fast. But that starts with acknowledging they cheated.
Yes, Dominion was a trap. The stories were planted by Deep State agents and we all fell for them.
It was a giant distraction that took our eyes from the real steal.
The texts prove Fox was in on it. They kept putting an utter nut like Sidney Powell on the air rather than one of the dozens of people focusing on the real issues.
There were a ton of screen shots of people television screens in real time as this happened, perhaps you should go back and dig up the proof MOST of us saw this at the time!!
I have found that many FReepers do not understand the laws around ballot harvesting. In many states, it is legal to bring a ballot to a person, have them fill it out, sign a document giving you power to deposit the ballot on your behalf and all of that is 100% legal.
Yes, it is a perversion of our election system....but these are laws that were passed and upheld by state courts.
Why do you think DeSantis did so well in Florida? They reformed these laws before the 2022 election. Arizona did not. Two different results. Arizona will not change its election laws and Florida will make them even stronger.
There has been a plethora of concrete evidence HOWEVER we have a judicial system that has been taken over by liberal activists that don’t give a damn about the law OR our constitution!!!
The first clue that the election was stolen was when the Soros paid propaganda machine smeared any challenge to the results as the “Big Lie”. Fox prime time was quick to turn its back on Trump. They failed miserably investigating election fraud.
Once the fake votes were stuffed in the ballot box, Trump was screwed. There wasn’t enough time to uncover the fraud.
You don’t remember the vote switching on TV as the numbers were coming in? Tons of Americans witnessed it.
There was not just one method used by the rats to cheat in 2020 - there were many.
If you try to drill down on any one method the critics may end up admitting you have a point but then quickly tell you it wasn’t enough to swing the vote to Biden.
But all together the harvesting, extended voting time frame, drop boxes, voting machine glitches, good old box stuffing, certainly were enough to make a difference.
I want the emails between Murdoch and the FBI.
They did. They do.
The problem is ballots made up from whole cloth. Not the process you describe, which is bad enough.
