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.
In its motion for summary judgment in its $1.6 billion defamation suit against Fox, with a redacted version made public on Thursday, Dominion makes heavy use of text messages and emails from the Fox personalities and staff

FOX refused to ask Joe about Hunter or James Biden in the Presidential Debate.
Before that they refused to run a factual border caravan AD by Trump.
There’s no doubt where FOX stands - None
You’ll never convince the peeps. They believe their TVision
.

How can anyone be surprised?
When Biden was VP, Ingraham went on and on about knowing “Joe” and how much she liked him.
None of them would be at the network if they didn’t think it was fair to not ask Joe about Hunter and James Biden’s during a Presidential debate . That’s throwing the Election.

They are actors.
That’s why they always pull the timing thing.
They found a tape where NY Mayor Adams says his favorite thing on earth was busting Cracker’s heads.
Ten days after he wins, the air that News and find the Video.
.
Fox fired Trish Regan for saying the Dems were Politicizing Covid.
That’s all she said.
Listen to them now and you’d think they were totally against the shots and giving them to kids, but they were selling the fake Fauci line until it threatened their ratings.

I will stipulate every negative thing that critics have to say about Trump, but for me this does not change the fact that he’s the only President in my 6 decades on this planet who gives a rat’s azz about you and me.
Tucker called President Trump “Demonic”, I didn’t. Be mad at him. Tucker has always been a two faced backstabber.
President Trump was backstabbed by Fox, Tucker, Sean and Laura. We saw it while the Steal was unfolding before our eyes.
Yep.
What BS doggerel. He has more credibility than most here. He posts only the truth here. It is all verified and proven with many times over. Just because Putin Puffers don’t like the fact that Ukraine refuses to be annihilated by the murderous despot in the Kremlin doesn’t make it less true. Slava Ukraini!
May you and PUtler rot in hell together.
Now I’ve got more against him than his obnoxious laugh and his superficial analyses.
She also endorsed Hillary Clinton.
“Tucker is a fraud”
Why?
Most TV personalities are math challenged and proud of it. It is preposterous to even consider Biden’s 81 million votes as legitimate.
...as for YOUR tagline Russia=globohomo, you demonstrate you are nuts! ...not worth reading your DiktatorZalenskyy crap ...ymmv
What he said about Trump.
And she is married to Radek Sikorski, who tweeted "thank you USA" after the USA sabotaged the Norstream 2 pipeline.
Well, for what it’s worth, that’s what he said in his sworn deposition.
As I sit here and recall that, I am trying to come up with any reason he would perjure himself in a sworn deposition. Nothing immediately comes to mind.
Credibility is EVERYTHING. When you want people to believe you, even one little “white lie” puts your credibility in the sewer.
Whenever I find out that someone has been less than truthful with me about something, I always wonder about what else they’re telling me that may not be true.
The addition of Smartmatic into the claims of fraud ruined the credibility of the fraud story.
Both Powell and Giuliani made very specific, and very easily debunked statements about Smartmatic. Had they not made such statements, it might be easier to say that their credibility is without question. Their credibility is NOT without question.
1) Smartmatic never worked “with” Hugo Chavez on fixing an election. Smartmatic technology was, in fact, used in the 2017 elections in Venezuela. After it was over, and the Chavez regime claimed the win, Smartmatic called Chavez out for manipulating the results. If Smartmatic were working with Chavez, they would have went along with his scheme instead of calling him a cheater.
So here’s a 2017 news report of Smartmatic calling Chavez a cheater: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-politics-vote-smartmatic-idUSKBN1AI1KZ
The claim Smartmatic makes about NOT working WITH Chavez is therefore verifiable.
(However, the fact that they think Chavez manipulated the machines means that they know that manipulation is possible.)
2) Smartmatic is not owned by Dominion. Dominion is not owned by Smartmatic. Both companies admit that they had a working relationship in the past and that their working relationship ended in litigation. I wasn’t sure how someone might go about verifying company ownership, but... it turns out, there was indeed a law suit.
https://law.justia.com/cases/delaware/court-of-chancery/2013/ca-7844-vcp.html
So unless companies like to spend money suing themselves, it would seem that these companies are not intertwined. I’m not going to call this “verifiable.” It’s verified.
3) In the 2020 Presidential election, Smartmatic software was used in one (!!! THAT’S ONE !!!) county in the United States. That one county was Los Angeles County, California. This, too, is verifiable. Every single county and state has to, by law, publicly divulge what equipment and software is being used in its elections. Therefore, this too is verifiable. (And it makes you wonder why Giuliani and Powell would bring Smartmatic into the story.)
But when Giuliani and Powell brought Smartmatic into the picture, they opened the door for people to question their credibility.
And I will repeat, everything that I have just posted has nothing to do with voting machine reliability. I am merely pointing out that 3 different accusations made (and constantly repeated) by Giuliani and Powell make them look like liars.
As much as I would like for the truths about fraud to come out and be known, I will not put my trust in Powell or Giuliani.
Credibility is everything. Powell and Giuliani ruined the credibility of the the story of fraud every time the used the word “Smartmatic.”
Whatever they “felt” I don’t recall any one on FNC suggesting there was fraud.
