Rupert's performers flailed their crap-encrusted pom poms and lured in the dupes like swarming flies to the stuff that attracts flies.Everyone in my immediate and extended family bailed on Fox.
Now that the Lardass has been disposed of by the American people, there is no profit in Fox continuing to lie on his behalf.
Besides, the blatant falsehoods that served as irresistible bait for the Trump cult were exacting a high cost in the real world:
Just as star anchor Sean Hannity and other high-profile Fox News figures were due to be deposed about their promotion of a bogus conspiracy theory about the death of former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, the cable network last month threw in the towel...
Legal sources tell Yahoo News that the settlement includes a lucrative seven figure payment to the Rich family consistent with the size of payouts Fox News and related corporate entities have made in other cases that have brought them negative publicity...
The hastily arranged settlement also had the benefit of sparing Hannity and other Fox News figures — including network president Jay Wallace and contributor Newt Gingrich — the ordeal of being grilled under oath about claims in a series of broadcasts in May 2017 that blamed the leak of DNC emails to WikiLeaks on Rich. At the time, Hannity called a Fox News story attributing the DNC leak to Rich an “explosive” development that “might expose the single biggest fraud, lies, perpetrated on the American people by the media and the Democrats in our history.”
In fact, Fox News retracted the story after eight days - the claims about Rich were false...
In fact, Rich had played no role in the leak of DNC emails. Deborah Sines, then the assistant U.S. attorney in Washington who was charged with investigating Rich’s murder, said in the podcast that the claims that Rich had done so were a “complete fabrication.”
Fox paid seven figures to settle lawsuit over bogus Seth Rich conspiracy story
The settlement between Fox News and Rich’s parents, Joel and Mary Rich, was publicly disclosed Tuesday, but with no details about the terms.www.aol.com
The prissy MAGA-capped sheep had thrilled to the lies, but when Fox correctly announced Biden's victory in Arizona, they howled like banshees that had had tabasco-laced battery acid poured on their naughty bits.
Fox could easily entice them to return by withdrawing its accurate reporting of the election and pretending Biden did not win, 326-232, or by contriving other fake confections like their phony and indecent Seth Rich story, but that would be corporate suicide.
Better to just whine about the Biden/Harris administration for the next eight years.
