Will the Committee subpoena the FOX News people?

[kentuck]

Who continued to lie to the American people, after they had expressed so much concern when the attack upon our Capitol was happening?

Did they think they had the "influence" to force Trump to make a decision they wanted?

Why did they continue the "Big Lie" when they could so clearly see the results of their campaign to spread it?

Why did they think Donald Trump was the only person that could stop it? (Did they believe the mob was following his orders?)

In my opinion, it would be a service to America if they put these lying propagandists under oath.

1. If they want the whole story, they certainly should

I want to see Sean Hannity held in criminal contempt of Congress. They can’t hide behind the journalist shield laws. They’ve already put everything out on their air. There’s no confidentialities

2. What would it accomplish?

This story has been good for them so far IMO. They're now on record as being against the insurrection, and trying to get Trump to stop it. Even the President's son is now on record as being against it.

They'll say Trump responded the same day, and even within 3 hours released tweets and a video statement calling for calm. If asked why they continued to support him, they'll say he backs policy positions they support, and nothing that happened on January 6th by 'supporters' of the President changed that.

3. I just don't know

Drawing the propagandists into an investigation is an uncertain thing in my mind. Other than their emails and contacts, you get spin. Let the emails speak for themselves? Facts are facts.

Interesting that Rep. Cheney went there. She knows what's destroyed her party. I wonder what she's up to.

4. On the plus side...

It would probably get FOX viewers to tune in?

5. LOL. Yes, for the shock of their lives /nt

6. According to a Court of Appeals in Florida, Fox News is not news but entertainment.

It is ok for them to lie to us! This can be seen again in their defense of Tucker Carlson when Tucker’s lawyer successfully argued that no reasonable person believes what Tucker is saying.

10. Isn't that according to Fox News? Wasn't that the defense's argument

and the court accepted it?

[Dustlawyer]

11. Yes.

[onenote]

12. Untrue.

A phony story that gets repeated here on DU several times a year.

13. It is true. You are referring to a different thing.

This is what I am referring to:

15. I am referring to the case referenced in the post to which we both replied.

That post referred to a Florida Court of Appeals case. The case you are citing was from New York. I'm not sure how I was supposed to know you were referring to a completely different case than the post to which we both replied.

And the New York case only addressed Tucker Carlson's show, not Fox News in general. And the court 's description of Fox News' argument that specific statements made by Carlson about Susan MacDougal were not defamatory claim wasn't that Fox News is was "entertainment" (a word that does not appear anywhere in the court's opinion). Rather, Fox News' defense, which the court accepted, was that with respect to the specific statements alleged to be defamatory, Carlson "cannot be understood to have been stating facts, but instead that he was delivering an opinion using hyperbole for effect."

7. MSM, International Media, Cable Media, etc

should be surrounding Faux News Headquarters right now, demanding Laura Ingiham, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, etc to comment on their crimes. They need to set up crews and equipment outside of their homes, etc. (alleged crimes)

[turbinetree]

8. As a taxpayer that is paying for this investigation I want and will be demanding

that these hypocrites be brought before a committee and tell the world what they knew and when....Fuck em...

They couldn't even broadcast the hearing last night............the spineless pieces of shit....

[spanone]

9. trump was the ringleader. the kingpin.

[msfiddlestix]

14. I hope not.

why give these clowns a platform and destroy the seriousness of the select committee's work?

they do that anyway I'm sure. But not reason to question them, they're just going to lie and abuse the procedure to no benefit of the investigation.

[kentuck]

17. Otherwise...

No one that watches FOX TV will probably even know about it?

[msfiddlestix]

18. anyone watching that station, doesn't want or care to know.

I think that is ultimate bottom line lesson learned for the past decade and certainly the past five years, wouldn't you agree?
