    "Rupert Murdoch, chairman of the conservative media empire that owns Fox News, acknowledged in a deposition that several hosts for his networks promoted the false narrative that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald J. Trump, and that
    he could have stopped them but didn’t, court documents released on Monday showed.

    “They endorsed,” Mr. Murdoch said under oath in response to direct questions about the Fox hosts Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo, according to a legal filing by Dominion Voting Systems. “I would have liked us to be
    stronger in denouncing it in hindsight,” he added, while also disclosing that he was always dubious of Mr. Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud.

    Asked whether he doubted Mr. Trump, Mr. Murdoch responded: “Yes. I mean, we thought everything was on the up-and-up.” At the same time, he rejected the accusation that Fox News as a whole had endorsed the stolen election narrative. “Not Fox,” he
    said. “No. Not Fox.”"

    "Despite his difficulties since he left office, about a third of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters still consider themselves supporters more of Trump than the Republican Party, according to a recent NBC News poll. Many of them aren’t going
    anywhere. Fully 28 percent of Republican primary voters are so devoted to the former president that they said they’d support him even if he ran as an independent, according to a national survey last month from The Bulwark and longtime Republican
    pollster Whit Ayres. Indeed, the “Always Trump” component of the party is so pronounced that it’s affecting how Trump’s opponents operate around him."

    Fearful? Of what? That the orange loser might die before the election? He's working hard to get Biden reelected.

    Your tag line is perfect for a monochromatic thinker. The world is not nearly as all black or white as your thinking. There are many shades of gray and many other colors. It's humanly possible to neither hate nor love someone or something. There
    are reasons why we have names for many other emotions, even if you have never personally experienced any of them.The orange loser has always been in the entertainment business. He's still working.

    Oh boy, another opportunity...WHAT?! You continue to prove the accuracy
    of my tag line with almost every post you make. By the way, unless I'm
