I know I’m joined by a huge percentage of the world’s population in my hope that Fox News goes down hard in the defamation case brought against them by Dominion Voting Systems.
At this point, it certainly appears that they will, in terms of both compensatory and punitive damages, not to mention criminal charges that may be brought against them for sedition.

Slogan: “I’m a Republican, but I’m (apparently) not criminally insane.”
From this article: From Nazi Germany to the Pinochet regime in Chile, global parallels with where this type of repression leads should set off alarms.
Yes, it should set off alarms. but keep in mind that almost half of American voters believe that our educational institutions are breeding grounds for “wokeness” and the “radical left.”
We need also keep in mind that one of the loudest voices behind the attack on our schools comes from Florida governor Ron DeSantis, a front-runner for the Republican nomination for the U.S. presidency in 2024.
Of course, not everyone sees it this way. Especially in modern times, there are plenty of people who view the world as “dog-eat-dog.”
Fortunately, they’re in the minority. Think of all the teachers and the nurses. Then consider that there are more than 200,000 groups on this planet whose purpose is environmental and social justice. That’s a lot of horsepower.
It’s so sad to lose a formerly intellectually coherent parent to Fox News. How many millions of Americans have experienced this precise tragedy?
Yet Fox is a far more benign form of “news” disinformation than Newsmax and OAN.
A uniquely American catastrophe.

Voters in these latter states are ~4 times more influential than the former in determining the outcome of our presidential elections.
If you’re an ultra-right-winger and you don’t believe in “one person one vote,” this is a great instrument in bringing your wishes to fruition.
When I was a young boy, I made an assertion that I thought meant something of importance, only to have a friend respond, “Craig, you have a firm grasp on the obvious.” I still remember how it cut like a knife.
Recently, court filings have revealed to even the dullest minds that actors and executives at Fox News are professional liars. Perhaps at least a few of their viewers are embarrassed, as I was at the time.
Maybe, or maybe not.
I frequently wonder about the right to “bear arms” as heralded in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
What was the intention of the Founding Fathers when they chose those two words? Would they have supported citizens’ right to own rocket-propelled grenades or nuclear weapons?
If they had known that had known that, 240 years later, the moron here wearing a red baseball cap would be wielding a flame thrower, what do you think they might have said?
