Gaslighting in action

Legal Insurrection: "Gallup/Knight Survey: Half of Americans Believe “News Organizations Intend to Mislead Them”."

Great job, guys, great job.  You burned it all down.

It's hilarious that you posted this on the same day that the Dominion lawsuit exposed internal Fox News memos and texts. The on-air hosts and upper management alike were in absolute agreement. No one believed the lie that the election was stolen voter fraud.

On the air, of course, it was (and is) another story entirely....

Hours after the exposure, Tucker Carlson was back on television last night, saying that Biden's supposed vote total is still a mystery and an unanswered question. That's what he says to the cattle. It isn't what he tells his friends and coworkers.

When Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich contradicted a Trump tweet about voter fraud that cited Fox News' on-air lies, Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson tried to have the reporter fired.

Carlson wrote to Fox's President and Vice President:
"Please get her fired. Seriously...What the f***? I'm actually shocked...It needs to stop immediately, like tonight. It's measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke."

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott chimed in:
"Sean texted me — he's standing down on responding but not happy about this and doesn't understand how this is allowed to happen from anyone in news. She has serious nerve doing this and if this gets picked up, viewers are going to be further disgusted."

The reporter was required to delete her fact check, and now works for CNN.

Nifty how they are half right and still half wrong. It is a giant step up from being just wrong. 100% of the opinions available through a screen are opinion. Carefully curated , approved and tested to support the proper narrative but yet still opinion. Facts are not available online only opinion. So much so that they thought that hiring opinion checkers to assist with dealing with facts when needed.
