Fox News hosts and executives, including Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, did not believe Donald Trump’s election fraud claims in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, but the network nevertheless amplified the conspiracy theories as it worried about losing viewers to Newsmax, according to filings from Dominion Voting Systems made public on Thursday.

I don't think Trump ever went the machine route when complaining about fraud. The title seems to falsely claim otherwise.

Beyond that why is Dominion and DeSantis' favorite lawyer suing Rudy and Fox. I don't recall either Fox or Rudy complaining about the machines.

The title isn’t the story.

The story is Tucker, Hannity and Ingraham are two-faced backstabbers.

The other story is that Fox News really felt the pain when millions of us stopped watching their nonsense after the Arizona Call.

Dominion’s lawsuit is over claims, made on air by Powell, Giuliani and others, and then advanced by Fox News figures like Lou Dobbs,

I see now that when they say Fox, they are talking about Dobbs.

Still wondering what they are claiming Rudy said.

Fox sucks and Tucker sucks but Dominion didn’t suffer $1.6 billion in damages, that’s for sure.

Fox is not your friend. Proud to say this family is Fox free for 7 years as and counting. They are all quislings scumbags. Dump Fox for One America News. And be careful of what you get from Newsmax.Carlson is good for sound bites but under neither he will kiss Murdoch ass and say anything to keep is job.

The Arizona election call showed me everything Fox is, but Carlson on any given night is spot on.
Will wait on judgement with him until it becomes more clear.

Dominion/Smartmatic had a`less then glowing reputation in South America. Why do we allow all these questionable types into our USA? Many on this site here have fought and darn near died for our America. And why do we tolerate a punk like Biden? I am no fan of Trump’s twitter BS. All of my fellow company CO’s were real pals. We shared Intel on all the enemy
tactics used on us. Sadly, our idiot in chief could not lead anyone.

Faux has never really been on ‘our’ side.

They just quit pretending to be when the spawn took over.

Ok. How did they see the news about LGB/FJB getting more votes than any candidate in history?

Rupert Murdoch was bragging to his oligarch buddies in the summer before the election that Biden was going to win in a landslide. He was in on the steal from the beginning.

Sorry son, you lack any credibility at all. Not a single thing you say can be believed without full verification. That’s what happens when you gleefully post every lie the biden administration and msm report as if it’s truth. May you rot in hell for all the bandwidth you have wasted.

As per usual, the big-talking TV talking heads were badmouthing conservatives in private.

I am so sick of this bullshit.
