Rudy Giuliani has demonstrated why the deep state is a thing

I can't watch Fox News for more than a few minutes because to me it sounds like "them them they the left them the deep state they they the radical left deep state they they they". Who the "F" are they?? Well, this is more than just sloppy journalism. Calling out somebody by name for participating in a conspiracy without evidence can be bad business. That somebody can then sue your ass and have you in the awkward position of having to reveal your "evidence" under oath. Then tort laws may apply keeping any judgement over your head forever.

No, much better to keep things vague and manufacture a bogeyman as a plot device. All of the entertainment value, none of the risk. Fox News stepped in it by slandering a real corporation (Dominion) and had to pay up. They probably won't make that mistake again anytime soon. Giuliani made the critical mistake, and on top of that didn't even stand to benefit much from his tirade. Amateur hour.
