5. I saw this "stunning package" and aside from limiting Fox's legal liability

it won't do shit as far as getting deplorables to see the light.

What's needed is for each of the Fox Spews spewers to apologize personally, and personally run down the list saying, "I'm sorry, but this was a lie. I lied to you and smeared these people and this company. We know Biden won the election and that Trump lost, but we lied to you anyway."

The company ought to threaten Dobbs and the others with legal action personally, and not just the Fox News corporation.

They might consider also going after the sponsors of these programs, insisting that they too apologize and pay for ads debunking all the conspiracy BS.

Maria Bartiromo just pretended this clip was part of her show! skip fox Dec 2020 #15
I think they were told to do it that way because Dobbs did the same thing. oldsoftie Dec 2020 #17
