onthedarkside Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The internal tension between some of Fox News’ biggest names has been made public in recent weeks — and it seems that some staffers are now willing to dish on what exactly has been going on behind the scenes. According to a report from Mediaite, many of the network’s hosts and employees are becoming increasingly hostile toward the network’s biggest star, Tucker Carlson. Sources indicated to Mediaite that no one at the network “has control” over Carlson, and staff outside of the channel’s “entertainment” programming have begun refusing to cover his primetime exploits, including his absurd rewriting of the Jan. 6 riot in the U.S. Capitol. https://news.yahoo.com/fox-news-division-refused-promote-194810720.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This writer just churns out similar garbage all the time. Garbage like this? In Fox Corporation's view, it doesn't matter what Rupert Murdoch does or doesn't think about what goes on at Fox News, because he doesn't exercise granular editorial control at Fox News. Fox Corporation shouldn't be involved in Dominion's lawsuit at all, the company argues. Under ordinary corporate law and Supreme Court precedent stemming from New York Times v. Sullivan — the granddaddy of libel law in the US — a parent company isn't automatically liable for the companies underneath it. "The assumption has always been that it has to be the creator of the story who must know that it is false in order to support a judgment under the Sullivan standard," Frederick Schauer, a First Amendment scholar and a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, told Insider. https://www.businessinsider.nl/rupert-murdoch-testified-that-fox-news-hosts-lied-about-the-2020-election-heres-why-it-wasnt-a-misstep/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This writer just churns out similar garbage all the time. Journalists do not credit their sources unless they have permission. Before a story is written or aired, the editor approves and the editor determines, in part, whether the source is credible. Some times, editors will question a source and either ask the journalist to get a 2nd source or confirmation from elsewhere that the source being used is credible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LaosLover Posted March 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2023 Tucker is like late period Elvis: coasting on the hits, no longer in his right mind. People needed Elvis for the revenue, so nobody said no to him, but everybody knew he was dreck. After he called Trump poison who he passionately hated, he said it was because he got a little emotional after the mid-terms. And his audience bought it. He brings in the revenue, but look who advertises on Fox: Crypto and Pillow salesmen. Never a car company or even a beverage ad. Fox makes their money on the low end of the market, where you never go broke because you never run out of idiots. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree....but man, putting Tucker in the same sentence with Elvis is almost un-American. Elvis was an icon who actually had talent. Tucker is more like PT Barnum, making money by telling the rubes what they want to hear. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candide Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 New information about it: Here's what Fox News was trying to hide in its Dominion lawsuit redactions "Ten days after the 2020 election, Fox News' so-called Brain Room looked into conspiracy theories that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the presidential election against Donald Trump. The fact-checking and research division of the network came back with a clear decision: Those claims were false. But the misinformation went on the air anyway."
