Fake news Fox fiasco: Lying for lucre – Daily Montanan [1]

['More From Author', 'March', 'George Ochenski']

Date: 2023-03-17  

Thanks to a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed against Fox News by Dominion Voting Systems, the nation and world are peeling back the covers on the shocking lies perpetrated by Fox’s top commentators. And how ironic is it that these are the very people who baselessly accused other networks of “fake news” for reporting there was no evidence whatsoever that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump?

In a nutshell — and boy did it hold a lot of nuts — Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, the cheerleading outfit for Trump’s circus — all lied through their teeth about the stolen election. And why did they do it? For the most basic of reasons. They did it for the money because they feared if they told Trump supporters the truth, they’d lose their viewing audience.

As far as journalism goes, you can’t get much more unethical than repeating what you know to be outright lies as truth. In that regard, the record is absolutely clear thanks to the discovery of the texts and emails between Fox’s on-air personalities, the management, and even Rupert Murdoch, who owns the network, and admitted he and his employees knew Trump was wrong, that there was no stolen election, and what they reported were lies.
