Fox News continues to alienate its viewers: White House Correspondent Kristin Fisher attacked Rudy Giuliani after Trump’s legal team gave a press conference.

Fox News continues to insult its audience. This time, the insults came from Kristin Fisher, who was speaking from either ignorance or malice when she attacked Rudy Giuliani after Trump’s legal team gave a press conference.

The press conference was the equivalent of an opening argument in a trial. Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis each stated one aspect of the upcoming case: Giuliani described on-the-ground voter fraud, Powell described a sophisticated computer system created in Venezuela to steal votes, and Ellis reminded people that this was an opening argument rather than an evidentiary hearing. The evidence, she said, will come.

The conference was essentially a preview of coming attractions. In a trial, first you tell your story, then you prove your story, and then you summarize your story. The legal team is at Phase One.

That didn’t stop Kristin Fisher from proving that she’s a lousy listener and is staggeringly ignorant about how the American legal system works. Following the press conference, Fisher went after Giuliani like a rabid dog:

“Well that was certainly a colorful news conference from Rudy Giuliani but it was light on facts,” Fisher said after the press conference. “So much of what he said was simply not true or has already been thrown out in court, and Giuliani, he opened by making this really bold and baseless claim that a lot of this alleged nationwide voter fraud that he is referring to all came from one centralized place.”

“He called it a nationwide conspiracy. And yet he failed to provide any hard evidence to back up that one specific claim especially when you’re dealing with a claim that really cuts to the core of our democratic process,” she continued.

O’Sullivan’s Law

“O’Sullivan’s Law states that any organization or enterprise that is not expressly right wing will become left wing over time. The law is named after British journalist John O’Sullivan.

Television shows are the best examples of this. 24, House. Charitable foundations are worse but harder to see.

One of the reasons for this is leftist intolerance versus right-wing tolerance. Right wingers are willing to hire openly left-wing employees in the interest of fairness. Left-wingers, utterly intolerant, will not allow a non-Liberal near them, and will harass them at every opportunity. The result over time is that conservative enterprises are infiltrated by leftists but leftist enterprises remain the same or get worse.

Also, leftism is in and of itself a form of decay. It’s what happens not just to television shows but to nations, churches and universities as the energy given off by the big bang of their inception slowly ebbs away. Rather than expend vitality in originality and creation they become obsessed with introspection, popularity and lethargy. Leftism is entropy of the spirit and intellect.”

I did tune in to Hannity on Fox last night. He is still the same pro-conservative as before. But rest of them have adjusted to preserve their jobs. Hannity is already very rich. He is not scared of getting fired.

COLORFUL, a not so subtle dig at Rudy's sweating causing his hair dye to roll down his face.Classless remark from the Foxed up "reporter"

Maybe they could add “The Mao Tse-Tung Hour”.

Maybe a Thanksgiving special?

A corollary to that law is that eventually leads to the demise of the organization or enterprise, because leftism is parasitic by nature and the host ends up devouring itself.

I posted this as a reply on another thread but it’s appropriate here also.:

Fox News reminds me of the 1998 Chicago Bulls. They can’t afford their own success anymore so they are looking to hit the reset button and start from scratch. Their prime time personalities have gotten too huge but despite that , Fox can’t sell decent advertising on those shows like Tucker. He gets enormous ratings but his advertisers are all infomercial quality trash. Not a sustainable business model. It’s sad, but Fox News is looking force all the high-salary personalities out eventually and rebrand themselves.

Are these reporters terminally stupid or something?

Something - they are deliberately obtuse to sell a narrative.

If nothing else, the scales are falling off the eyes of millions of normies.

We might not stop Biden from being falsely installed, but at least now we know where we stand.

“Hannity is already very rich. He is not scared of getting fired.”

Hannity made his money with his syndicated radio show. His Fox TV show is just a side gig, financially.

econjack : "I'm old enough to remember when it was a reporter's job to report the news, not give their opinion on it. "

I'm old enough to remember when it was a reporter's job to report the news
, .. not to create it !! .
Obviously, she misunderstands her function in the 'press corps', and is ready to take Jim Acosta's role away from him.
THe media and press must miss the old OBungler days when the White House staff would produce a written statement of what news it wanted covered, and how.

And yet he failed to provide any hard evidence to back up that one specific claim.
If he gave the media the names of people who came forward the media would have their names plastered on the screen and in every newspaper by the end of the day.

The media loves a harm story with body counts.

The vital thing to remember about Sydney is she’s a lawyer in the middle of preparing the largest case of her career, a case where there have to be many confidential informants whose identity cannot be revealed until the right time. Tucker simply didn’t understand this.

It appears to me that Fox may have intimate knowledge and participation in voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Some examples may be :The extreme bias Chris Wallace exhibited against President Trump in the first debate; the phony polls produced by Fox pollsters fraudently showing a huge pickup of House seats for Democrats, and massive losses for President Trump; Brett Baier ,Martha McCallum, Chris Wallace, and Sandra Smith refusing to condemn the vicious rioting, looting, burning and tearing down of historical statues by Democrat activists BLM and Antifa. The Fox decision desk, headed by anti-Trump activist Mr. Mishkin and staffed by Fox pollster as well as Chris Stirewalt called states that had less that 30% of votes counted for Joe Biden.
Obviously believe people wearing blinders are not objective.

Tucker threw Sidney Powell under the bus last night, saying he’s invited her numerous times to appear on his show to present the evidence she has about Dominion software. The last time he said she told him to stop bothering her, and by his snide manner he indicated he believes she’s all talk with no evidence. Done with Tucker.

As far as Hannity is concerned I don’t watch him because he interrupts his guests and generally is just full of himself. I record him to see and listen to who he is interviewing and delete the rest.

I still watch Maria, Varney and Dobbs on Fox business but that’s it, though Varney referred to Biden the other day as Presdient Biden
