How White Men Fight
The only thing more shocking than Tucker Carlson's recently revealed text messages are the racist lies and conspiracy theories promoted on Fox News every day.
The executives at Fox want us to believe that Tucker Carlson was fired for sending hateful text messages that were only recently discovered. That is clearly a lie. The Fox News brand is racist lies, bigotry, and conspiracy theories. Rupert Murdoch fired Tucker Carlson for the same reason he does everything: MONEY!
Never Having to Say You're Sorry
There are some things money can't buy, but not having to issue a public apology for lying about the 2020 election will cost Fox News $787.5 million.
In an 11th hour settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, Fox News agreed to pay $787.5 million in damages to avoid the humiliation of having their election lies exposed in a public trial. Fox avoided a public apology this time, but still faces a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit from Smartmatic that has vowed to expose the “misconduct and damage caused by Fox’s disinformation campaign.”
Pretty Much a Crime
Fox News Chairman Rupert Murdoch called Trump’s election lies false and a “huge disservice to the country.”
Just two weeks after the Jan. 6 Insurrection, Rupert Murdoch emailed Fox News Media Chief Suzanne Scott that, “Trump insisting on the election being stolen and convincing 25% of Americans was a huge disservice to the country. Pretty much a crime." But Fox News execs and hosts decided to lie for ratings and ordered that disputing Trump’s false claims of election fraud “has to stop” because it is “bad for business.”
Fox News Lied for Ratings
Rupert Murdoch admits under oath that everyone at Fox knew the 2020 election "was on the up-and-up," but still broadcast Trump's Big Lie for ratings and profit.
The Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion lawsuit has exposed the hypocrisy and lies of Fox News desperate to maintain ratings after Trump attacked them as ""disloyal and dishonest."" Internal communications and under oath testimony has revealed that Fox hosts and executives made the decision to knowingly repeat Trump's lies of election fraud to keep viewers from switching to more conservative news outlets.
