FAKE NEWS EXPOSED: A Service of PoliticalChat.com

Fox News has not covered the conviction of the Oathkeepers for seditious conspiracy on either their TV channel or their website after having given precious little coverage to the Kanye/Fuentes fascism fest at MAL. I suppose they need to keep their audience outraged about something totally irrelevant.

Alex Jones filed for bankruptcy after he and the company behind his Infowars site were ordered to pay $1.4 billion for defaming Sandy Hook victims' families.

Dominion to depose Fox boss Lachlan Murdoch as defamation suit heats up

Hey, Whell! Your lyin' friends at Faux are the biggest purveyors of fake news. Hope Faux loses this, bigly. Maybe you'll learn something (but I highly doubt it).

Better yet, Rupert's next in the dock.

Rupert Murdoch, the 91-year-old chairman of Fox News parent company Fox Corp, will be forced to answer questions under oath next week about his network’s coverage of the 2020 presidential election.

Murdoch will be deposed on the mornings of Dec. 13 and Dec. 14 as part of election technology company Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, according to a filing in Delaware’s Superior Court. The lawsuit alleges that the network purposely aired false claims about Dominion’s role in the 2020 presidential election to boost ratings and fight off competition from more-conservative-leaning television networks.

Hey Chicklet! You're right, sometimes news gets out there that isn't supported by fact. Happens all the time. Just like the years we went through listening to on-going news narratives about Russian Collusion. Just like when CNN had to settle in court with the Kentucky high school kid who the media condemned for harassing a native American. Or the endless stories about the pee videotape that never existed, and the Steele "dossier" that was treated as fact.

Yep, you and your Dem pals certainly look like you've got a better handle on the situation that the Repubs. You guys send the FBI to the offices of Facebook and Twitter to make sure that certain news stories and points of view get choked off. You know, the guys with guns and badges, who show and and "suggest" that one or another news stories are just "Russian disinformation". Your authoritarian Democrat party hard at work protecting us from ourselves, right?

It was Trump's FBI, not Biden's. Moreover, the Trump White House (as opposed to the Biden campaign) also asked for stuff to be taken down (as can any private citizen, BTW) and the posts they wanted taken down were dick pics and not the NYPost story (proffered by Rudy and refused by both the WSJ and Fox News). There was no coercion and thus no implication of the First Amendment. Indeed, a Trump DHS official recently said "The Twitter Files are silly. I was in the room when top tech companies briefed public officials about election security efforts on their platforms. You know who was also in the room? Trump White House officials! They never protested."

And no, the little MAGA dweeb's spat with the Native American on the mall isn't remotely analogous to a concerted effort by Fox News to amplify the Big Lie (which they knew to be false and which ultimately led to the only attack on the US Capitol over 200 years and the only non-peaceful transition of power in American history). Moreover, the Big Lie was a key element in a conspiracy to defraud the United States, something a media giant shouldn't be an active participant in.

As for the dossier, it was Lindsey Graham who encouraged John McCain to turn the dossier over to the FBI and the FBI didn't use to it to open an investigation of Trump (it started months before the dossier even existed) and it wasn't the MSM who released it. It was Buzzfeed. Oh, and Russiagate was not a hoax. Try to keep up, Whellie. Every post you make reveals how misinformed you are.

Why its said, Ignorance is Bliss.

Hey Whell, since you think Maduro is a thug, what about the ex-Florida congressman getting arrested for lobbying for him? What I think happened is that this outing was a thank you gift from Maduro to Biden by Venezuela suing Rivera in a Manhattan court for taking their money and failing to deliver. After all this was to cozy up to Trump and Rivera kept the $30Million and now counter-suing Venezuela for stiffing him for the remaining $20Million. Another brilliant move by Biden!

It seems that our friend orbits around Reich-Wing media until he has enough talking points to come and dispense them here. Sure enough he'll show up to defend what he posted by telling us what he wrote wasn't what he meant and everyone but he has it all wrong.

At least you published this reeking pile of manure in the right place Mike. Get some help, man. You're losing it.

His Dear Leader, a very stable genius, is publicly sympathizing with J6 seditionists, supping with neo-Nazis, clamoring for the Constitution to be trashed and is likely a few short months away from being indicted for multiple felonies (update: his company was just convicted on multiple felony fraud counts). In the words of Fleetwood Mac, "Heroes are hard to find" and Whell's hero for the past 6 years, who he has defended through thick and thin, is self-destructing before our very eyes.
