—
Fox News has been exposed like never before.

A trove of newly-released text messages and emails have laid bare how the right-wing media giant operated with little regard for fact in the weeks and months following the 2020 presidential election. The correspondence reveals that the network’s senior-most executives and highest-profile hosts chose not to disclose what they believed to be the truth of the election out of fear that that the facts would alienate Fox News’ audience and throw the highly profitable business into ruin.

The messages were contained in a stunning legal filing made public on Thursday as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News, showing the network’s executives and talk hosts privately trashing lies pushed by former President Donald Trump’s camp and his supporters asserting the 2020 election was rigged.

1. Dirty liars.

Absolute scumbags.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

2. Fascists are ugly behind their masks. Dominion peeled off another layer with these revelations.

[Johonny]

3. I would seem that they're not absent of malice

and thus, completely suable as Dominion is doing. I wonder if others will follow.

4. So, volunteers to watch fox tonight and report on their reaction to this

[doc03]

6. Was watching a little of Fox at the gym today as CNN was talking about that story. FOX was on

Don Lemon whatever he did, Democrats want to dump Biden and the "woke stuff of course.

5. Given the direction CNN has been going in

I expect this writer to be looking for work soon - since CNN appears to be aiming to be Faux-lite.

7. Nasty awful people

Who cared more about ratings than the survival of our country.

They should destroy that corporation and salt the ground ypafter they tear the buildings down, so that they never grow back.

8. Would this mean the DOJ would incorporate FOX News and its owner and

employees into its prospective investigation and suit?

[Baitball Blogger]

9. They should face legal consequences.

This is too big.

[Mr. Ected]

10. But if FOX doesn't include this in their daily reporting - and they won't

Then MAGA won't even be aware of what happened on their beloved channel.

So....how can we get the news to them?

[hibbing]

11. "little regard for fact"

Not sure how that is any different than any other minute of broadcasting they do.

[central scrutinizer]

17. Yes

It’s not like they just decided to start lying in November 2020

[Initech]

12. Fox is the fucking worst.

[Shermann]

13. NBC ran this nothingburger

They basically called Giuliani and Powell crazy and that's about it. No really incriminating quotes came out of this and it won't be enough to dislodge any entrenched Fox viewers.

KY..........

15. Yesterday, I had a discussion with a co-worker, whom I considered a friend ...

We got into politics (i.e. the insurrection) and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
I asked where he got his news? He answered FOX.

I told him that maybe he should listen to any other news source, because FOX has admitted that they are not a news agency, they said they are an entertainment company. So everything they say is opinion, not news.

I think that was proven today.

16. Three traitors, they are also responsible for the January 6, 2021 attack to the Capitol

And by the way, these three "Fox News" loud mouths ARE ALL TRAITORS, they knew they were lying, they too are responsible for the insurrection on January 6, 2023 because they helped rattled up the insurrectionists with their lies. They are responsible for the deaths that happened that day.
