Fox’s new Jan. 6 documentary implies 9/11 was a false flag

 

"So, FBI operatives were organizing the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, according to government documents," Carlson falsely claimed during a June 16, 2021, show.

 

On the screen appears insurrectionists, footage from the Capitol, and Trump, but then it shows footage of Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. It isn't clear why Carlson would choose bin Laden's image, while the voiceover claims there have been false flags in the U.S. in the past.

DOMINION'S COMBINED OPPOSITION TO FOX NEWS NETWORK, LLC'SAND FOX CORPORATION'S RULE 56 MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

 

Feb. 27, 2023

 

https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/dominion-fox-news/54e33f20f7fb6e8d/full.pdf

 

During Trump's campaign , Rupert provided Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor, Jared Kushner, with Fox confidential information about Biden's ads, along with debate strategy. Ex.600, R.Murdoch 210:6-9; 213:17-20; Ex.603 (providing Kushner a preview of Biden's ads before they were public).

 

But, on election night Rupert would not help with the Arizona call. As Rupert described it: "My friend Jared Kushner called me saying, This is terrible, and I could hear Trump's voice in the background shouting." Ex.600, R.Murdoch 65:6-8. But Rupert refused to budge: And I said, Well, the numbers are the numbers. Id. 65:9. By this point, Rupert knew no fraud had occurred:

 

 

Ouch.

Perhaps Rupert hated Trump all along and waited till he knew he hadn't won before sticking the knife in. That wouldn't surprise me about Murdoch. He's not my favourite human being.

Schumer, Jeffries ask Murdoch to stop Fox hosts lying about 2020 election 

 

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) have sent a letter to Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch asking him to stop Fox News personalities from “spreading false election narratives,” warning they could lead to “further acts of political violence.”

Trump rages on ‘MAGA hating globalist RINO’ Rupert Murdoch, calls Fox News hosts that ‘endorsed’ election ‘brave and patriotic’

 

"If Rupert Murdoch honestly believes that the Presidential Election of 2020, despite MASSIVE amounts of proof to the contrary, was not Rigged & Stolen, then he & his group of MAGA Hating Globalist RINOS should get out of the News Business as soon as possible, because they are aiding & abetting the DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA with FAKE NEWS. Certain BRAVE & PATRIOTIC FoxNews Hosts, who he scorns and ridicules, got it right. He got it wrong. THEY SHOULD BE ADMIRED & PRAISED, NOT REBUKED & FORSAKEN!!!” Trump stated on Truth Social."

This CNN story is just that - the only link that opened went to a 2022 midterm article. All hearsay with no evidence. No surprise there I suppose.

Now I know Trump isn’t currently a Congressman or Senator but there are plenty in the GOP who are (Marjorie TG for example) who continually push the “election was stolen” lie. My question is why are they still allowed to do this? In the UK, MP’s are held to a strict code that would see them at least lose their seat with a distinct possibility of criminal prosecution if it was particularly egregious. Is the 1st amendment so sacrosanct that it even allows US politicians to keep lying about such serious matters or is it something else that I don’t know about?

If you do an internet search on "Murdoch testimony election" you will get a lot of news links that say pretty much the same thing as the CNN story.  For example:

 

https://news.yahoo.com/murdoch-testified-fox-commentators-endorsed-222614792.html

 

https://news.yahoo.com/dominion-fox-filings-expected-defamation-210521102.html

IMO we either have free speech or we don't. Can't pick and choose based on our own personal likes or dislikes.

It's crazy hard to successfully sue in the US for defamation, especially against "journalists" (quotes are for Fox specifically).  You can't be sued just for being wrong.  You have to be wrong, know that you're wrong, and intentionally lie with malice.  There's also the issue of damages--how can your prove damages, i.e., how much financially did you suffer because of said lies. 

 

This Fox case is the strongest case I've seen, with nearly all of the elements present to prove Dominion's case.  If Fox manages to weasel out of this one, it will demonstrate to the world that media companies in the US can lie with impunity and will never be held accountable.  So there's quite a bit on the line.

IMO it only matters if we think the "media" are normally truthful, which I don't.

Local media is IMO so biased and "woke" that I no longer watch the so called "news".

Lets hope they don't have a lefty judge!!!

Delaware Governor (D) nominated the judges and the senate (majority D) appointed them. You need prayers not hope. What I hope is that Dominion gets their 1.6 billion which they richly deserved.
