[BeBMan]

Five million bucks well invested.

And Lindell has now lost 5 million to nothing. Not defamation but failure to payout on a 'prove me wrong' contract when the counterparty proved him wrong.

This guy should be a cautionary tale to other businessmen thinking about wading into politics.

Fox is propaganda but I usually try to wait for the details, in my thread we know plenty of them.

Bill Maher accused Tucker Carlson of promoting Sidney Powell's election fraud claims publicly while calling her names privately. That isn't true, Carlson publicly challenged her for the evidence and insulted her privately when she dodged his request. Maria Bartilomo publicly supported the accusation of machine fraud while privately dismissing Powell as unreliable. I dont think Maher is a liar but it sure dont help when he gets his facts wrong while accusing others of lying.

I'm glad to see the concern you have for propaganda

From what I've seen, I'd agree that Tucker never supported the claims publicly, and did ask for the evidence.

I also think it would be a fair claim that he promoted the theory through rhetorical device - he was constantly saying 'if this is true'. My understanding is that he was beating that drum continuously, but I'd probably need some proper stats to show if it was inordinate compared to other stories of an 'if true' nature run on FOX and newscasters on the other side. The other sides have a lot of 'if true' about Trump and his legal woes.

I agree he's skeptical of the vote total, but his interview with Powell destroyed her publicly. The people who stepped over the line were fired but I dont know if the higher ups in the ladder leading to the owner were also publicly endorsing the claim while privately calling it BS. I assume they settled because of the TV hosts telling their audiences Dominion was complicit in election fraud rather than what Rupert and his kin were saying.

Fox settled because Dominion let go of their requirement that Fox run an on-air retraction and apology.

[Berzerker]

they should do that anyway

That is the goal, I believe. This why the left targeted him and his business.

I think she was nutbar enough to do that herself. Just like Giuliani.

Apparently, Tucker Carlson is out at Fox. Related?

[BeBMan]

Maybe he'll run for pres...

[Uncle Sparky]

Or he'll be hired to work on an ex-president's re-election campaign...

Not sure. I know the email leak where he said he hated Trump pissed off some of the MAGA crowd.

Don Lemon also got the axe from CNN so it seems several new outlets are trimming head counts. BuzzFeed axed it's entire left wing "News group" (read: Democrat cheer squad) while dozens of other outlets have been firing staff.

Fox fired Tucker and kept Hannity, says it all... they dont like Trump or MAGA, they're establishment Republicans and Tucker has been attacking high ranking GOP politicians.
