At this point I think I should just be grateful that the Fox News chyron didn't say "Caring About The Ocean Is Dumb." This insinuates they value the ocean. Yay, I guess. 

Edit: Next week they'll declare war on the ocean and coastal MAGAs will start shooting at the ocean, right?

I know you’re joking about the military and “wokeness” but let me tell y’all a little story. My son has been in the Marines around 18 months. COVID absolutely destroyed his path at Troy - he’s ADHD

I'm saying I'd like to get in my car and ram it into Sean Hannity at high speed.

Some of the biggest names at Fox News have been questioned, or are scheduled to be questioned in the coming days, by lawyers representing Dominion Voting Systems in its $1.6 billion defamation suit against the network, as the election technology company presses ahead with a case that First Amendment scholars say is extraordinary in its scope and significance.

Sean Hannity became the latest Fox star to be called for a deposition by Dominion’s legal team, according to a new filing in Delaware Superior Court. He is scheduled to appear Wednesday.

Tucker Carlson is set to face questioning Friday. Lou Dobbs, whose Fox Business show was canceled last year, is scheduled to appear Tuesday. Others who have been deposed recently include Jeanine Pirro, Steve Doocy and a number of high-level Fox producers, court records show.

People with knowledge of the case, who would speak only anonymously, said they expected that Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott could be one of the next to be deposed, along with the president of Fox News, Jay Wallace. Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, whose family owns Fox, could follow in the coming weeks.

Wish the public could see these.

He also thought China might have a hurricane gun that was shooting them at us. 

This sounds like an awesome fake movie from a Seinfeld episode.

I almost started a thread about this (that would have been dumb), but watch your FNC inclined types for the phrase "they say."  Apparently, to me, they feel less potential for ridicule when they substitute, I saw on Hannity or Tucker Carlson thinks with "they say."

That's been Tucker's thing for a while now.  "They" is the most terrifying force in the world.

That’s why I always ask, “Who is ‘they’?” Then the fun begins.

It's important to know that we never allowed foreign control of broadcast news networks prior to Newt Gingrich carrying Australian Billionaire Rupert Murdoch's water and changing US law.  The reasoning for preventing foreign ownership was it would be too easy to make money without any regard for patriotism, and the only concern advertising revenue.

Fox simply is NOT a news station. It is now only a corrupt GOP propaganda machine.  

While Republicans love to criticize CNN, MSNBC and every non-Fox news source, none of those stations every i my memory did not carry a prime time presidential news cast.  Fox did not air tonight's speech because they are NOT a news station.  As you see it's a lot more profitable to sell Republicans lies, than for even for a minute, allow their viewers to be confronted with even the slightest glimmer of the truth.  Truth is the enemy of the Fox.  And airing an honest prime time speech by the President of the United States is simple not in Fox's best interest.  And that is exactly what the President spoke about tonight.  A fight for the Soul of our Nation! Something Fox doesn't give a shit about.

Do we have a separate thread on the Dominion lawsuit against Fox for defamation?

 

Opening of a good article on the topic:

Quote

 

The November 2020 email from an anguished Fox News news producer to colleagues sent up a flare amid a fusillade of false claims.

The producer warned: Fox cannot let host Jeanine Pirro back on the air. She is pulling conspiracy theories from dark corners of the Web to justify then-President Donald Trump's lies that the election had been stolen from him. The existence of the email, confirmed by two people with direct knowledge of it, is first publicly disclosed by NPR in this story. Fox News declined comment.

Pirro was far from alone in broadcasting such false claims. In the weeks that followed Election Day 2020, other prominent Fox stars, commentators and their guests heavily promoted them.
