MURDOCH ADMITS THAT FOX "NEWS" LIED

Murdoch Acknowledges Fox News Hosts Endorsed Election Fraud Falsehoods 

"Rupert Murdoch, the conservative media mogul, spoke under oath last month in a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox by Dominion Voting Systems."

"On Jan. 5, 2021, the day before the attack at the Capitol, Mr. Murdoch and Suzanne Scott, the chief executive of Fox News Media, talked about whether Mr. Hannity and his fellow prime-time hosts, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, should make it clear to viewers that Mr. Biden had won the election. Mr. Murdoch said in his deposition that he had hoped such a statement 'would go a long way to stop the Trump myth that the election was stolen. ' ”

 

************************************

Rupert Murdoch himself knew there was no election fraud and that Trump's Big Lie was being spread on Fox News for ratings and the bottom line.

Fox knew.

But Murdoch, Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham, Dobbs, Pirro, and Bartiromo all kept the lying going because they also knew how easy it is to deceive their gullible viewers. And boy did those viewers eat up The Big Lie, hook, line, and sinker.

How sad and frightening it is to realize that millions and millions of Americans can be fed disinformation and become true believers of destructive and malicious lies -- lies that led to the attack on the US Capitol for the purpose of overthrowing an election, disenfranchising voters, and re-installing a twice-impeached, corrupt, malignant narcissist in the presidency.

BREAKING: A brand new court filing in the Fox News / Dominion Case shows Rupert Murdoch admitting that Fox News, not only hosted guests which lied about the election but they endorsed a "false notion of a stolen election." Yes, Jim Acosta is 100% right in that Fox News is a “bullsh!t factory". In the newly released documents, Murdoch is found agreeing that he saw "material in support of" Fox Hosts taking part in endorsing the lies about the 2020 election. The filings also show that even Paul Ryan, a board member of Fox Corp., told Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch that "Fox News should not be spreading conspiracy theories" and should "stop spouting election lies." Things are looking INCREDIBLY bleak for Fox News, but very positive for the American people!

Drag Queens and Other Dangerous Things

 

Twenty eight Children Rescued, and fifty nine Adults Arrested in Massive DFW Child Porn Investigation including two Christian church leaders.

(No Drag Queens were involved. Yet MAGA governors and legislators are busy trying to pass laws that prohibit Drag Queen story hours for kids.)

"In some of these stings you see blue-collar workers, executives, all types, but in this specific one, there's a number of first responders, and we expect first responders either help us in an unsafe situation, or we feel safe with them," said Hohman. “Some of these were teachers who have direct access to our children. These are individuals that we've told our children are safe. Teachers, firemen, nurses, and so that's extremely concerning in this particular operation. What do we tell our kids? Nobody's safe? Right? So that's why we have to educate. It just makes you wonder, where the hell the world is going?"

Argument against Drag Queen story hours:

 

“To expose children to drag shows, to drag attire, to bring that into the minds of a 3-year-old, a 4-year-old, a 5-year-old, an 8-year-old, is wrong. It is objectively wrong. It socializes and conditions. It unlocks doors in their brains that they are not ready for, that their parents have not decided to speak with them about, and it is objectively wrong to do that,” Hoffman said.

But Americans are okay with this:

There is a failure for many to realize Americans are giving up because they are sick of the talking heads that just complain about all the problems and politicians that never fix anything, while the right just keeps taking the beatings and abuse from the left. Yes, the red California that gave us Reagan is gone and that was another time long ago. CA is now like a weird communists country...

Here's the talking potato advocating the dissolution of the USA, as though it would be as simple as changing the color of her nail polish: --SK

Imagine if America decided to just go ahead and have a national divorce. Hollywood elites and celebrities and all the brainwashed leftists women who watch the nasty women on the View, men who identify as women, and Democrat voters who suffer from the lifelong debilitating disease Trump Derangement Syndrome they caught from CNN wouldn’t have to see much less tolerate deplorables anymore. They could live in their safe space blue states, own nothing, let their government decide and control everything, and most importantly protect their fragile minds from being shocked and insulted by those of us on the right who believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Then Americans could choose which way, left or right, provides them with the best quality of life, and we don’t have to argue with one another anymore. I am starting to feel like it’s the right thing to do for everyone.

NOTE: The states in which Americans enjoy the highest quality of life values are, overall, blue states. They are the states with the most educated, best health care, and lowest divorce rate (family values). The worst are the red states. FACT.

THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN PARTY

 

Words fail me:

Experts testified before Alaska lawmakers Monday about the widespread, long-term harm child abuse has on the state — to the economy, to the workforce and to taxpayers when traumatized children and the adults they grow up to be rely on government services. But, in questioning one of those experts, state Rep. David Eastman (R) zeroed in on a possible “benefit.” 

“How would you respond to the argument that I have heard on occasion where, um, in the case where child abuse is fatal, obviously it’s not good for the child, but it’s actually a benefit to society because there aren’t needs for government services and whatnot over the whole course of that child’s life?” Eastman said. 

 In the days since the committee meeting, Eastman’s remarks have caused an uproar. His colleagues called them “despicable,” “atrocious” and “indefensible.” 

On Wednesday, the Alaska House of Representatives voted 35-1 to censure him. Rep. Andrew Gray (D), in introducing his censure motion, said Eastman had brought “great shame on this House.” 

The only lawmaker who voted against the motion was Eastman, who was also censured in 2017 for saying that some Alaskans try to get pregnant “so that they can get a free trip to the city” to get an abortion.

The Truth Comes Out About FAUX NOOZ's Lies

 

These are postings from a blogger who believed in the Big Lie:

It’s Day 619 of the coup, the theft of the American Government, by enemies both foreign and domestic.

Our federal government has been stolen by the illegal actions of leftist politicians.
And they have no regard for you or yours. Only they and theirs.

We have been the victims of a vast criminal enterprise.

It’s Day 605 of the coup, the theft of the American Government, by enemies both foreign and domestic.
Our federal government has been stolen by the illegal actions of leftist politicians.
And they are driving it like they stole it.

I pray for a Great Awakening of the American People and a glorious, hopefully bloodless, Second Revolution, the restoration of our Republic.

The "Great Awakening of the American people" begins by reading the texts below from the Dominion law suit against FAUX NOOZ where the American people can see the contemptible, destructive lies by Carlson, Hannity, and Ingraham that were fed to their viewers and that infected the minds of millions of Trump cultists with the Big Lie.

(PS. Apparently, the blogger has given up his paranoid idea that the 2020 election was stolen. He no longer posts about it on his blog. A true "Great Awakening!")

Faux Nooz contributed to Trump cultists' delusions and disinformation, not just the above quoted blogger's. Millions of other dupes believed what Faux and Trump fed them. Together, they drove a stake through our democracy's heart, all in service to money and power.

Don't blame the bloggers too much. They couldn't help themselves, because they'd been fed distortions, disinformation, and lies for years from FAUX NOOZ and Trump and they lacked the ability to see through those deceptions. 

When you place your trust in liars and cheats, this is the result of that terrible choice:

via Democratic Underground:

Here are some things Tucker Carlson is now on record saying, with some dates and juicy details: 

 "Sidney Powell is lying. Fucking bitch. " (Tucker to his producer Alex Pfeiffer, 11/16/20) 

"Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It's insane." 

To which Laura Ingraham texted back, "Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy." 

To which Tucker replied, "It's unbelievably offensive to me. Our viewers are good people and they believe it." (11/18/20) 

November 13: The filing says Tucker wrote privately that Trump should concede, and was in agreement that "there wasn't enough fraud to change the outcome" of the election. He called the election fraud claims "ludicrous" and "totally off the rails." 

(11/20/20 and 12/24/20) When, just after the election, Maria Bartiromo started pushing Sidney Powell's bullshit about Dominion's voting machines — which was sourced from somebody who said they saw it in a dream and who thought the wind talked to her, among other things — Tucker said the "software shit was absurd." He said it was "shockingly reckless" to claim Dominion rigged the election without any proof in a text to [REDACTED] on 11/21/20. 

After the Trump White House and other conservatives started screaming at Fox News for (correctly) calling Arizona for Biden on election night, Tucker's producer Pfeiffer said people on their side were being "reckless demagogues." Tucker said, "Of course they are. We're not going to follow them." 

However, on the night of November 12, when Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich correctly factchecked a Trump tweet about Dominion and election rigging, Tucker group-texted Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham saying, "Please get her fired. Seriously .... What the fuck ? actually shocked...It needs to stop immediately , like tonight. It's measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke." 

The night of January 6, Tucker texted his producer Pfeiffer that Donald Trump was "a demonic force, a destroyer. But he's not going to destroy us." 

And then he had the MyPillow Guy on his show on January 26 to blab more conspiracy theories. Said literally all the lies Tucker absolutely knew were lies. Tucker didn't push back.

Arizona's Real Election Fraud

Arizona’s top prosecutor concealed records debunking election fraud claims 

More Republican dishonesty in investigating the 2020 election in Arizona.

Are there ANY honest Republicans? 

That unfortunate woman, Kari Lake, mewling and puling about a stolen election -- an election she soundly lost -- is quiet about real GOP election fraud:

PHOENIX — Nearly a year after the 2020 election, Arizona’s then-attorney general, Mark Brnovich, launched an investigation into voting in the state’s largest county that quickly consumed more than 10,000 hours of his staff’s time. 

 Investigators prepared a report in March 2022 stating that virtually all claims of error and malfeasance were unfounded, according to internal documents reviewed by The Washington Post. Brnovich, a Republican, kept it private. In April, the attorney general — who was running in the GOP primary for a U.S. Senate seat — released an “Interim Report” claiming that his office had discovered “serious vulnerabilities.” 

He left out edits from his own investigators refuting his assertions.

His office then compiled an “Election Review Summary” in September that systematically refuted accusations of widespread fraud and made clear that none of the complaining parties — from state lawmakers to self-styled “election integrity” groups — had presented any evidence to support their claims. 

Brnovich left office last month without releasing the summary.

Take a break from politics and have a look at lithops:

 

Lithops are South African plants that look like stones.

Lithops is a genus of succulent plants in the ice plant family, Aizoaceae. 

Members of the genus are native to southern Africa. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek words λίθος (líthos) 'stone' and ὄψ (óps) 'face', referring to the stone-like appearance of the plants. They avoid being eaten by blending in with surrounding rocks and are often known as pebble plants or living stones. The formation of the name from the Ancient Greek -ops means that even a single plant is called a Lithops.
