Lawsuit Against Fox “News” Takes an Interesting Twist

From this article in the New York Times:

Newly disclosed messages and testimony from some of the biggest stars and most senior executives at Fox News revealed that they privately expressed disbelief about President Donald J. Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him, even though the network continued to promote many of those lies on the air.

The hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham, as well as others at the company, repeatedly insulted and mocked Trump advisers, including Sidney Powell and Rudolph W. Giuliani, in text messages with each other in the weeks after the election, according to a legal filing on Thursday by Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion is suing Fox for defamation in a case that poses considerable financial and reputational risk for the country’s most-watched cable news network.

Financial risk? Yes.  We’re talking about billions of dollars in compensatory damages, not to mention possible punitive damages on top of that.

But reputational risk?  That’s harder to imagine.  The only people who really matter to Fox are idiots who still believe the election was stolen, and they’re simply going to going to conclude that the lawsuit was a sham, that the judge is corrupt, and that the radical left has prevailed over their leader, the most honest and most effective president in American history.

Maybe time for a new insurrection.  Who knows?  We’re capable of anything.
