Having trouble understanding current events

Fox News hosts thought Trump’s election fraud claims were ‘total BS’, court filings show
Hosts at Fox News privately ridiculed Donald Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen while simultaneously peddling the same lies on air, according to court filings in a defamation lawsuit against the network.

Rightwing personalities Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham are among those named in the $1.6bn action brought by Dominion Voting Systems, the seller of electronic voting hardware and software that is suing Fox News and parent company Fox Corporation for maligning its reputation.

“He’s acting like an insane person,” Hannity allegedly wrote of Trump in the weeks following the election as the host continued to push the so-called “big lie” during his top-rated prime time show, aided by a succession of election deniers he had on as guests.

Even billionaire Fox owner Rupert Murdoch was dismissive of the former president’s false allegations, the filing alleges, calling them “really crazy stuff” in one memo to a Fox News executive, and criticizing Trump’s scattergun approach of pursuing lawsuits in numerous states to try to overturn his defeat.

It was “very hard to credibly claim foul everywhere”, Murdoch wrote, adding in another note that Trump’s obsession with trying to prove fraud was “terrible stuff damaging everybody”.

Meanwhile, Carlson, one of the network’s most prominent and controversial stars, was disdainful of Sidney Powell, a senior Trump attorney who repeatedly claimed Dominion’s machines flipped votes cast for Trump to Joe Biden.

“Sidney Powell is lying,” he wrote to a producer, the Dominion lawsuit alleges. He referred to Powell in a text as an “unguided missile” and “dangerous as hell”.

Trump, Carlson said, was a “demonic force” who was good at “destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong.”

Fellow host Ingraham told Carlson that Powell was “a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy,” referring to the former New York mayor and Trump supporter Rudy Giuliani.

Hannity, meanwhile, said in a deposition “that whole narrative that Sidney was pushing, I did not believe it for one second”, according to Dominion’s filing.

Other internal communications revealed that Fox News executives, hosts and researchers used phrases including “mind-blowingly nuts”, “totally off the rails” and “completely BS” to describe the false election theories they were publicly promoting.

This story is biased and one sided. There is no context given, just partial quotes strung together to convey the writer's point of view (or hope against hope). There are no real facts here. Very unprofessional. But funny none the less.
 
Hey, I just read that Seattle wants to hire a few hundred more cops. Quite a change for out there where all the 'Summer of Love' folks live.

Ya, the dummies said defund the police but the kumbaya stuff didn't work out to good for them:p....now they're paying up to 30K hiring bonus to get some back.
 
Seattle and (especially) Portland have been paying the price for defunding their police departments. According to a story I read, Portland is about to have 40+/- more officers take their retirement soon. All that summer of love crap in Portland and the CHOP/CHAZ bull crap in Seattle have really taken a toll on the cities.

Crime is running rampant, businesses are closing up shop and leaving, wealthy residents (who, BTW, support the cities) are leaving.

Will the last person to leave Seattle and Portland please turn out the lights?

It’s not just the big cities but now moving to the Chicago suburbs. This week, in a town called Libertyville, a lady was carjacked in her driveway. Apparently the thugs followed her home from shopping.

Here’s the thing. Libertyville is a wealthy upper middle class suburb. What’s the problem? They live in a county that’s turning from red to dark blue. They now have a weeny democrat prosecutor. Go figure.
