    "Fox News feared losing viewers by airing truth about election, documents show

    ‘Everything at stake here,’ billionaire founder Rupert Murdoch wrote to a top executive in November 2020, part of a cache of internal communications revealed in a $1.6 billion defamation suit."

    "Newly released messages show Fox executives fretting that month over an uncomfortable revelation: that if they told their audience the truth about the election, it could destroy their business model."

    "In another message, Ron Mitchell, the network executive in charge of prime-time programming and analytics, warned that Newsmax’s brand of “conspiratorial reporting might be exactly what the disgruntled [Fox News Channel] viewer is looking for.” As
    a result, he added, Fox should not “ever give viewers a reason to turn us off. Every topic and guest must perform.”"

    Reading some of Sean, Tucker, & Laura's, private remarks about the election, certainly revealed, "what was really goin' on"... They were also sceert of more extreme networks (sic) wooing their dupes away from them, so they had to keep the big windy
    going, just to hold their market share, and keep their fans happy.... HawHawHaw!

    I hope Dominion sues all those slippery, lying, eels.... However, as you must have noticed, FOX has lots of people with "FOR RENT" signs between their ears, who still believe whatever they're told....
