OOTB's Political Thread . ..

I don't think FoxNews has admitted that they lied to their viewers at all. It wouldn't matter if they did. The lies have already told, believed and locked away as facts in the minds of the diehard Fox viewers.
You are correct for the most part. This resolution was Marketing 101 before their personalities and entertainment properties got damaged. Can you imagine the shit show that 98% of the remaining media and social media would have had during this trial? It would have been a bloodbath for Fox even if they ultimately prevailed either at trial or on the inevitable appeals. They paid a ton, but they had a bunch more to lose by going forward. This was nothing more than a cost/benefit analysis of a business decision. There is probably a good chunk of the dedicated Fox viewer that doesn't even realize the case was settled or the huge amount that was paid.

lol at someone expressing his own belief that others have their own beliefs, as if he has delivered some profound revelation. Only here are you exposed to such 'wisdom'.

If the lies are what you want to hear, you're probably going to come back for more.

The damage is done. They'll never trust an election result again, if their candidates lose. No dollar amount can fix that.

And, Fox, and every other "news for profit" source, will go back to the same script.

how do you show evidence of something you say didn't happen? Do you just show up and say 'I don't have anything, so I win'? If we're using common sense and basic logic, I can claim a unicorn ate my lunch withouit fear of you proving that that never happened.

There has to be some missing detail here. In any case, if paying this money out causes Lindell and his pillows to disappear, it's a win for me and for a hell of a lot of other people, of any political persuasion. I mean, I applaud his successful venture in capitalism, but damn man...if I need a pillow I'll call you.
the guys either a marketing genius or just a straight scam artist or both. He was investigated for misleading adveritising. Turns out the pillow does nothing more than any other pillow.

They somewhat admitted it during one of their shows in the middle of the day. Said something like, we admit the judge's findings that we lied about some stuff is correct. Then followed that up with a statement about their excellent media coverage.

I saw the Daily Show doing a bit on it. They put together a clip from a bunch of Tucker Carlson shows... I cued it up below...




ETA: The part about the Oklahoma dudes after the Fox bit is interesting, too.

lol well yeah. It's a pillow. If anyone bought a pillow expecting it to be more than a pillow, shame on them.

If their viewers watched anything they'd know lol.

Here is their statement:

We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems. We acknowledge the Court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects Fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues.
 
^ I love how they admit to knowingly lie (to the tune of 3/4 billion) while mentioning commitment to highest journalistic standards.
 
lol. Clown world.

I thought we just needed more illegal aliens to pick those veggies and clean our houses and such, according to some dems. Turns out we also need more illegal alien trans to uh, fill the trans gap I guess, according to this idiot government.

But think a little deeper into this. They are saying that detaining a trans is a hardship on them. Why would that be, except for the attitude being shown them by other detainees. So here's the supreme logic in play here. Let in more illegal alien trannies and save them from harassment by those who don't care for them. At the same time, let in more of those who don't care for them. Libthink at it's best.

how high do those standards need to be to shine in comparison to their rival outlets CNN, MSDNC, etc.? They ARE the highest in that respect.

No, but we should probably make licensing requirements to drive which involve tests that prove ability and are revocable w misuse (like DUIs).

'defunding the police' is dead?

AOC ironically states that when we pay cops more than teachers, we are sending a message about what is important to us. Well yeah we definitely do send messages about what is important to us, and I think this lady unfortunately got that message.

how does that fix the irresponsible drunk dad? does your imaginary fix have a crystal ball?

it would have to be a really good one, like the one that the gun dealer should have used before he sold that bank shooter guy his rifle.
 
Dui laws reduce drunk driving. How can you not know this?
not sure your point is valid.

There also are laws in most places that make it illegal to leave a loaded gun where a child can get his hands on it. But irresponsible people break those laws, just as they break d & d laws and laws against murdering or injuring people either on purpose or unintentionally.

We aren't taking vehicles away and we aren't taking guns away and we aren't taking much of anything away that can be used to hurt people. It seems to me that the problem isn't the means by which people harm other people, but the irresponsibility and disregard for the law that is rampant in our society.
 
conflict of interest?

The imagined conflict of interest posited against Justice Clarence Thomas for having taken gifts from someone who he has no opportunity to return the favor to is nothing more than wishful thinking by the lefties. No harm no foul sort of thing but they want the whistle blown anyway, just on appearances.

Here's the kind of conflict of interest that merits scrutiny in my book....

when Bill Maher isn't busy being a liberal and is instead using the common sense that conservatives rely on, he's actually quite enjoyable. Some here should listen to these and take heed.
