@no1marauder saidThe pernicious logic that pervaded the post-election rhetoric was focused on the idea that "we need to report it because lots of people believe it's true" and from politicians it was " we need to investigate because lots believe fraud happened", but the reporting and the investigations only bolstered the legitimacy of a lie that started with a tweet and zero evidence.
There's an excellent article in the Atlantic explaining why Fox News decided to swing so hard to election denialism even though hardly anybody there believed it:
"Before it settled, Dominion did the public a service by revealing so much about Fox’s inner workings through the lawsuit. We learned, for example, that the MAGA star Tucker Carlson “hate[d Donald Trump] passi ...[text shortened]... /ar-AA1a1KO4
The truth isn't what people like Average Joe, Mott, JJ and many others want to hear.
Reporting something just because it's what your viewers want to hear is the opposite of the way news should operate. This phenomenon doesnt just apply to fix, although they're the worst offenders. Lose viewers, lose ad revenue.
The only exception to these flawed business models is pbs/npr.
@moonbus saidFOX watched what happened to CNN and yet they still decided to go WOKE themselves, stupid mo's.
Fox probably figured that if they didn't make a good offer and the trial went ahead, the jury would have awarded significantly more than 787 mio. to Dominion. Fox lost face significantly, and there's no way they can spin this into any kind of victory for freedom of speech or responsible journalism.
@earl-of-trumps saidFox is woke?

Seriously?
@earl-of-trumps saidGod damn… you enter this thread and that’s what you have to say?

Retard.
@wildgrass saidVotes were flipped in Antrim county Michigan. That was not a lie.

The only reason Fox had to settle is because leaked messages revealed some of them did not believe what they were reporting. Dominion's assertion that their machines did not change or flip votes is false.
@metal-brain saidOh, for God’s sake: fukk off.

Since it was originally posted in 2018, the use of the voting machine seen in the clip has been significantly reduced. As of 2022, certain jurisdictions in only three U.S. states are using these machines.

Reduced but still being used in 3 states. Who is the jerk that connected them to the internet so they could be hacked?

There is no hacking. There is no mass scale voter fraud. Nothing.
And this court case proves it. Even Fox News doesn’t believe it’s own lies. They knew they were going down and took the dive.
@shavixmir saidI didn't say there was hacking, but any voting machine connected to the internet is illegal for a reason. What specific lies did Fox tell?

Dominion's assertion that no votes were changed by their machines is the lie. Antrim county Michigan proves that. So we know that is not the lie Fox told. What was the specific lie?
@metal-brain saidNo you’re lying again, everyone knows your lying, you know everyone knows your lying, why do even bother.

How many votes did the MACHINE flip and for whom?

@shavixmir saidA court has ordered him to do so. I'd love to see him refuse, and be forced to sell his business and home instead of second-rate pillows.
Seemingly “my pillow guy” has been proven wrong, but is unwilling to pay the 5 million reward he offered.

Officials: Clerk error behind county results favoring Biden
November 7, 2020
BELLAIRE, Mich. (AP) — A clerk’s error in a small Republican-leaning northern Michigan county earlier this week led to the reporting of unofficial voting results that favored Democrat Joe Biden, state officials said.
Questions were raised after Antrim County, northeast of Traverse City, first reported a local landslide for Biden in his race against Republican incumbent Donald Trump in the presidential election.
The Republican National Committee included it among several allegations of voting irregularities in Michigan that favored Biden and Democrats.
But Michigan’s Department of State said Friday that the Antrim County clerk accidentally did not update software used to collect voting machine data.
“Because the clerk did not update software, even though the tabulators counted all the ballots correctly, those accurate results were not combined properly when the clerk reported unofficial results,” the Department of State said.
“Even if the error in the reported unofficial results had not been quickly noticed, it would have been identified during the county canvass,” department officials added. “The software did not cause a misallocation of votes; it was a result of user human error.”
