  1. Fox is a criminal conspiracy. If we lived in a just society their broadcast license would be stripped for lying to the population. They have enabled fascism to take hold in America.

  2. Whaaaat? Fox News employees lie? Shocking. We just can't believe it. #LyingConScum Lie, because it works; Con, because they get rewarded for it; and Scum, because they are scum.

  4. Janine Pirro needs to be exposed, taken down. She’s tells nasty lies every ten seconds like her cult leader. I just want to remind them both that they “thou shall not lie” is one of the 10 Commandments and that means not lying is of at most importance.

    I can't watch Fox news. It's so biased and fictional , not to mention its overt sycophancy to Trump and complete absence of integrity. How can it possibly be 'news?' 𝙉𝙚𝙬𝙨 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡, 𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙨 𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡.

  6. Faux News leads the league in lies and rhetorical codswallop. With NEWSWACKS a distant second in the liars and deniers rankings. There are two types of Trump supporters, Billionaires and Birdbrains, check your bank account to see which one you are!

  7. I’m trying to figure out why this is getting attention now. This was all made public during the battle with Dominion Voting and when they settled it for $767MM like a year ago.

  8. Let’s pause to appreciate the consistency: the story never matched the facts, but the clicks and outrage? Always on point. A masterclass in media performance over journalistic integrity.

  9. They lied because their idiotic viewers PREFER lies, as long as it fits the mythology they want to believe of being "persecuted" and "marginalized" by the "deep state"—instead of by reality.

  10. What do they tell their children and grandchildren about lying? “It was my job” “Lied for ratings” “gaslighting our gullible audience” No one will ever take these talking heads from Fox seriously about anything ever again.

  13. This is treason, is it not? I mean, what are we talking about here?! Just that Fox lied? Or that FOX intentionally undermined our free and fair election? Why is FOX allowed to still be in existence? Why is FOX allowed to continue to divide our country? Why is Rupert Murdoch not in prison?

  14. it's a shame they've not been sued personally for their lies would love to see the whole lot bankrupted

  15. Pirro got bigly rewarded for working so hard. She knowingly lied to the american people. She is totally untrustworthy in any leading position, as are many others.What's the excuse? I did not say that, what I meant to say was, it was taking out of context. Of course their theme song is fake news.🤔

  16. That could apply to a majority of Journalism overall in America. They have long ago abdicated their job seeking truth in favor of seeking ratings for their shareholders

  17. Fox needs to be sued still again. Like right- wing Newsmax who was Just sued 67 million For false claims connected to voting machines. These fascist never learn. They can be slowed down by law suits. They only understand money loss as loosers they are.

  18. So why shouldn't these people that have done severe damage to our country and democracy have their a**** kicked every time someone sees their f****** treasonous on this face, I think they well deserve it.

  19. Just like they knew that Russia’s interference in the 2016 election was the difference that got Trump “elected.”

  21. Unbelievable, and their viewers eat it up with a spoon. They don’t even care about the truth.

  22. The Russians spend 1 billion a year on propaganda. They influenced the 2016 elections. It happened to me on FB. Surprised?. .

  23. Crazy that some of the people who helped peddle the big lie got rewarded w/ a govt job just for lying on tv networks that were eventually sued for said lying.

    What’s crazier is that the cult members have no ability to be freethinkers anymore & aren’t even able to ponder “hmmm is this weird?”

  24. I shared this for the idiot elites of Martin County to see. After recently posting about an unnamed network that paid $787 million because it lied, one of the muckity mucks asked me if it was CNN. Seriously. I had to break the news it was his daddy, Rupert at FOX. These people live in a bubble.

  25. Right wing media is a military-grade propaganda machine. That is how Democrats need to speak about it now and shut it down as a domestic terrorist organization.

  26. Wouldn't it be nice if the lawsuit had included a clause that Fox broadcasts must also feature real-time fact-checkers until the network has managed to go lie-free for ten years?

  27. It just demonstrates how few in numbers those possessing a chromosome pattern of XY actually have courage, morals, ethics and intelligence to know this. Yet they believe. And they vote. And sadly they reproduce further perpetuating their utter stupidity and cruelty.

  28. Remeber when we “broke up” the monopoly we called “Ma Bell”?

    Time to get The Fox outta the henhouse?

  29. I can't find the messages relate to Dominion. The truth is, this is no different than the liberal media outlets repeating the Russian collusion hoax.

  30. Part of the settlement should have been to make them stay on the air to their viewers that they were lying and that they knew Trump lost the 2020 election. I would’ve settled for nothing less.

  31. Unfortunately MAGATs don’t want 2 know d truth. They’re being spoon fed lies and BS & continue 2 tune in regardless. That’s why Cheeto fits in so well. That’s d ONLY “diet” they consume.

  32. It's a real shame that the billion dollar settlement didn't come with a requirement to stop lying about elections, polls, voting and politicians in the future.

    0
  33. We need to STOP calling it Fox News. It not news at all, it's anti American propaganda . The Murdoch family is at war with the American Way and they need to suffer the consequences. Too many Americans have become victims because of them. It's time to put Fox Propaganda out of its misery.

  34. Can someone please enforce the ethical reporting of news? Like, Fox news should have disclaimers or something stating that they are purely entertainment. So the old racist boomers and chads can finally understand they're consuming propaganda bs.

  35. The settlement with dominion (they suck) had a clause that Fox didn’t have to tell the truth that they lied to their audience about 2020 election. Fuck dominion and fuck all the way off anyone that works for or watches Fox News

  36. Shame requires self-awareness.

    You can only perceive yourself as flawed if you are aware of yourself and can make judgments about your perceived shortcomings.

    Anyone who works for Fox checks shame at the door.

    Lowered expectations.

  37. Lying for ratings! How’s it legal to purposefully lie to customers? There oughta be laws and penalties. Outright lies are not accidental, they are unethical. Errors are one thing, this isn’t error; it’s calculated.

  38. Two of the hosts mentioned now have high level jobs in our government They've proven that they are willing to lie to the public for selfish reasons about really important things... and now they're in charge of the military and DC. Cool. Cool. Nothing to see here.

  40. Unforgivable, unprofessional lies. We know that Fox News is really just a right wing propaganda machine.

  41. It's all been a lie. I can't wait until FOX is gone completely. All the MAGA and WH crew disappear and are hounded by the truth. Maybe the concentration camp in Miami could be used for some of the administration.

  42. No surprise here! Fox News has always been nothing more than a 24/7 propaganda machine for right wing lunatics like Donald Trump. It's audience consists of poorly educated, brainwashed fools who want biased trash like Sean Hannity and Jesse Watters to do their thinking for them!

  43. “Lying for ratings”. There you have it MAGA. They are telling you straight up that you are gullible and believe whatever they tell you. Well now, you have a problem because we are headed for a recession.

  44. Fox news headquarters has a rat & roach problem‼️ It needs to be fumigated, eradicated,& and maybe just used for a controlled burn to save the eco-system ‼️🤨🤨

  45. You’d think we as a population would understand if you’re paying tens of millions for lying, you’re not a legitimate news source? You’d think.

  46. When the Trump shit show finally comes to an end and the federal government starts working constitutionally again, the FCC should take a hard look at FOX News and Newsmax. Slant is one thing. Lying is another. Big difference.

  47. Too little too late. None of this "proofs" will "end" this regime. America made sure, by voting, that this regime was placed legitimately in place. It appears the only country in the free world that is least concerned of America's dictatorship take-over, is America.

  48. they should lose their ability to call themselves a 'news network' they are more of entertainment for the mentally challenged and those too damn lazy to research fact from fiction

  49. “The filing also reveals that Pirro hoped to secure a pardon for her ex-husband, Albert Pirro, who was convicted of tax evasion and conspiracy. Trump eventually granted him one.”

    She got more than a pardon for her lies. Trump loves a liar.

  50. The worst “Americans” are those that would sell their country out just to get ahead. Despicable!

  51. And a complicit SCOTUS. Sadly, Biden chose the worst possible AG for the period. A wet noodle that was more concerned about his appearance of fairness rather than putting out the raging fires burning our democracy.

  52. They will do what Putin told their master to do, go after mail ballots boxes cause he can’t do anything against the vote that gave President Biden’s victory. The only way he cannot interfere on elections here.

  53. And I'm gonna' get real dirty now, but this mother's cunt in the oval office wants to change history over it. And his fucking MAGA motherfuckers are going along with it instead of impeaching him and throwing him in prison or putting him in front of a fucking firing squad for fucking treason.

  54. Fox should be charged as an enemy of the US and its people. A propaganda network aimed at destroying the rule of law and the take down of the elected government.

    Just like Fox “personalities” talk about how terrible the other personalities are in private. We all know they are terrible people.

  56. Sue all the people complicit individually. Hit the talking heads with a monetary punishment since they complied.

  57. I'd have more time for liberals denouncing false claims of the election being stolen in 2020, if they also weren't in the next breath insisting that elections were stolen in 2016 and 2024.

  58. "Pundits" providing "commentary" should never be legally allowed to have the word NEWS attached to their name.

  59. With Newsom’s defamation case and now this against Jesse Watters, it would be a shame if Fox took the Tucker Carlson route with Watters too..

  60. If the crime of rigging and stealing the 2020 Election really happened, there would be a massive effort by this administration to find and punish the people who did it.

  61. Trump & Maga tried to steal the 2020 election but they couldn't hack paper ballots that were mailed in during the pandemic. There have been hacks on either the machines or tabulators in 2016/2020 and 2024 by people swapping votes from Dem to Republican candidates. www.politico.com/news/2024/08...

    A hack that would disrupt the election is unlikely, but experts are worried that any vulnerabilities could provide fodder for those wishing to question the results.

    The nation’s best hackers found vulnerabilities in voting machines — but no time to fix them
