Murdoch Acknowledges Fox News Hosts Endorsed Election Fraud Falsehoods

Murdoch is not someone we're required to believe, even if he's talking about his own network.

His own network is lying to you. He acknowledged it when he had to.

That's the issue. The many, many people who are lying to you will not back up their claims in court, because they know that if they lie in court, they can go to jail.
 
Rupert Murdoch, chairman of the conservative media empire that owns Fox News, acknowledged in a deposition that several hosts for his networks promoted the false narrative that the election in 2020 was stolen from former President Donald J. Trump, court documents released on Monday showed.

“They endorsed,” Mr. Murdoch said under oath in response to direct questions about the hosts Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo, a legal filing by Dominion Voting Systems said. “I would have liked us to be stronger in denouncing it in hindsight.”

Mr. Murdoch’s remarks, which he made last month as part of the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox by Dominion, added to the evidence that Dominion has accumulated in an attempt to prove its central allegation: The people running the country’s most popular news network knew Mr. Trump’s claims of voter fraud during the 2020 election were false but broadcast them anyway.

Dominion’s latest filing also described how Paul D. Ryan, a former Republican speaker of the House and current member of the Fox Corporation board of directors, said in his deposition that he had told Mr. Murdoch and Mr. Murdoch’s son Lachlan, the chief executive officer, “Fox News should not be spreading conspiracy theories.” Mr. Ryan suggested that the network pivot and “move on from Donald Trump and stop spouting election lies.”

In a brief filed in court this month, Dominion lawyers revealed private text messages and emails that showed hosts including Mr. Carlson repeatedly insulting and mocking Trump advisers like Ms. Powell.

“Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It’s insane,” Mr. Carlson wrote on Nov. 18, 2020, to Laura Ingraham, who hosts the prime-time Fox News show that airs after his.

Ms. Ingraham responded: “Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy.”

Mr. Carlson continued, “Our viewers are good people and they believe it,” making it clear that he did not.
Guess what? Murdoch does not decide what a false narrative is. He is told. Uncovering the scum that intimidates people would go a long way. There was never an investigation. Not one state cooperated.

You’re “required to believe” facts. And the emails and texts make the Big Lie in fact… a lie

LOL, I bet he does. And Kennedy wished he had rode in an enclosed car.

You think a top on a car would stop the CIA?
 
I hope FOX and Murdoch have to make the Billion Dollar$ Payout. Right wing follows FOX. It's support for the "BIG LIE" helped lead to the January 6 attack, which might not have happened if they had accurately reported what they internally knew and believed to be true to their right wing base, that there was no evidence of a stolen election and Trump was wrong and simply lost the election.

100% false
 
Still no self-awareness is there hypocrite? You STILL buy every bullshit story about Trump. Just like your 2 fellow retards who liked your crap, you swallow it all hook, line, and sinker because your Dem masters know you’ll do nothing but repeat the lies. We haven’t been conned. YOU have been. And you’re too stupid to even realize it.
Your ignorance of my politics just makes this more sad.

You now know what has happened. We've been telling you for years that they're lying to you. It's on you to man up and admit it.

Early indications are not positive.
 
That's because the Trump Cult is the biggest precious snowflake group around.
Just like their leader.

Sheesh.

Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch handed Donald Trump’s son-in-law and White House adviser Jared Kushnerconfidential information” about then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign ads before they aired on the conservative network, according to a new court filing.

The leaks provided Kushner with “a preview of Biden’s ads before they were public,” according to court documents released Monday as part of the $1.6 billion defamation suit by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News.

“During Trump’s campaign, Rupert provided Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor, Jared Kushner, with Fox confidential information about Biden’s ads, along with debate strategy,” read the filing.
