Rupert Murdock Wanted Top FOX News Hosts to Come Out and Claim Biden Won
The Gateway Pundit ^ | February 18, 2023 | Joe Hoft

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.

Why do you think a republican will ever win a presidential election again? Nothing has been done to eliminate fraud.

EXACTLY RIGHT! EXACTLY RIGHT!

It kills me that so many here don't want to believe overwhelming "election fraud" is now a large and permanent part of US elections. And, the Republicans don't control the fraud. The DEMOCRATS do. But those here keep talking about "Well, the next election...blah, blah, blah."

Republicans will never take the Whitehouse again. The Bad Guys won! This country is DONE!

The problem is, the election fraud is a carefully orchestrated chain of criminal events strung together so as not to be easily detected, but when the events are tallied it adds to the votes being stolen. You don’t think the Libwads would EVER make this easy, do you??? It took a chain of criminal events to accomplish the steal and it will take a chain of whistleblowers, hard evidence and documentation to unravel it......it is a criminal Rubik’s Cube and it was DESIGNED to be that way!!!

“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
***

Yes.
Doug Mastriano voted for that. Act 72.
I had hoped Lou Barletta would get the nomination for governor.
On top of that, the Senate primary was a disaster with all those Republican candidates attacking each other.
Then Trump inserted himself by endorsing Mastriano and OZ, and it was chaos.
Along with that was fraud, and The result was disaster.

It was as bad or worse in 22. Anyone who pointed out the obvious theft in AZ was marginalized and ridiculed by FNC.

The “theft” and “fraud” are so big that only the folks on FR can fathom it. The courts don’t see it. Oh yeah—ALL of the courts are in on the conspiracy.

“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.”

I’ve heard Brett Baier spew the narrative that 74 cases of election fraud were brought against the 2020 election for election fraud and everyone of them failed. I’ve heard conservative relatives s echoing Baier say the same thing. I would ask Baier and you to acknowledge everyone of those cases was thrown out on civil procedure grounds and not heard on the merits. Unlike Al Gore who had his case heard, on the merits, before Florida trial courts, Florida Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court, Trump was never afforded an opportunity to present his case case

Well l was in AZ during the Nov elections and l saw it first hand. The rats learned in 18 and 20 that it is damn near impossible to get a court to undue an election “result”. That thieving bitch Hobbs used her office to cheat her ass off and she knew damn well no court would have the stones to reverse it. In fact, as always happens the evidence was disallowed. It doesn’t take a “conspiracy” the courts are just unwilling to wade into it.

Ask yourself why judge after judge looked at Trump's allegations and evidence and felt there was no case.

Ask yourself why isn't there a website that presents the evidence in a clear manner showing the fraud.

Ask yourself why every "story" about trucks with ballots, locked out Republicans, etc have been debunked.

Powell and Giuliani were unable to prove their case. Powell is mentally ill.

I do believe there were fraud but none of it is proven. It is time to move forward and win elections using the rules the left put in place during Covid. Win elections then reset election laws to a single day of voting, voter ID, you must vote in-person, etc.

Until then, all the whining and accusations will accomplish nothing we will continue to lose elections, like 2022 where we should have had a red tsunami.

The court cases never made it to the point of allowing evidence. The judges would dismiss the cases on procedural grounds because there had never been precedent established before in a presidential election fraud case. Dominion wouldn’t allow their servers to be examined. You still haven’t acknowledged the votes being switched from Trump to Biden instantaneously on national TV while the returns were coming in. Peter Navarro itemized all the fraud that took place in a book. Biden never got 81 million votes. It was a pre-planned systematic soft coup d’etat.

Navarro’s book lays out irregularities, not evidence.

I am sympathetic to the fraud charges and believe them. However, we have had 3 years to prove them in the court of public opinion and have not.

It is time to move on and win elections.

No judge wanted to be subject to the stress, ridicule or threats to allow an adjudication on the merits. When it went to SCOTUS, Chief Justice Robert’s argued against any review because of social unrest. Robert’s argued fear. Alito and Thomas were furious. ACB, being new and lacking the backbone of her mentor Scalia, sided with Roberts. They needed three votes to bring sunlight to this issue. This single act of cowardice was historic . What did Burke and Bonhoeffer say, all it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing

I would be willing to confront Carlson and Ingerman on the Ruby Freeman videos alone. Freeman should have been charged, tried and jailed
