“Rupert Murdoch, chairman of Fox News’s parent company, acknowledged in a deposition that “some of our commentators were endorsing” the baseless narrative that the 2020 presidential election was stolen — and that he wishes the network did more to challenge those conspiracy theories”

“Dominion’s filing shows Murdoch intimately involved in steering the network’s programming during the chaotic weeks after Election Day, as he tried to “straddle the issue” of election fraud in a way that would not anger viewers or the president”

“Yet Murdoch also acknowledged that he had a “long talk” with his son, Fox Corporation chief executive Lachlan Murdoch, and Fox News executive Suzanne Scott, about “the direction Fox should take” after some once-loyal Fox viewers, who saw the Arizona call as a betrayal, began flipping to other, more conservative channels”

“ more conservative” meaning more crazy. That’s what the people wanted - lies. And FOX had to give it to them or they would lose their market.

“In an email to Paul Ryan, Murdoch wrote that Jan. 6 was a “wake-up call for Hannity, who has been privately disgusted by Trump for weeks, but was scared to lose viewers.””

Anyone watching news during that time can remember Fox news also called the president a liar instead of taking a neutral approach. They took cut off his live feeds just like CNN did when he claimed he won. Even if he did lie the media couldn't know and were reckless for cutting off the live feeds. He has more access to classified Intel about election security than the media .

Lol, what a nut. Even with Rupert Murdoch admitting they lied, FOX viewing Trumpers still refuse to acknowledge reality. You can see why FOX felt compelled to lie in order to keep their idiot viewers.

Lol, oh the brain power of the ultra MAGA. The man responsible for election security in his administration, Chris Krebs,  told Trump 2020 was the most secure election in history. Face it, your Trump is a big very fat liar.

Pure DURESS bullshit. 
The files released included Fox hosts like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson telling each other that Trump's stolen election claims were bullshit. Were those under duress as well?

Do you have any evidence at all that there is any classified intel concerning election security, or is this one of those made up things which serves only to provide an unfalsifiable narrative for those who don't care about facts and logic?

None of us can know unless we have access to that classified Intel. He is claiming election fraud and we don't see evidence so where do you think he is getting information from to conclude it. There is only one logical explanation

He’s getting it from wack jobs like Rudi Giuliani and Sydney Powell. Those people have been disbarred and are being sued for liable for their lies.

Also, there was a woman claiming to be a decapitated time-traveler, who knew about the election fraud according to a recent court filing.
