Media is all MOSTLY the same. But this support of the Big Lie....and even Murdoch's own beloved Wall Street Journal says it is one...went too far. That lame-ass "No reasonable person" defense got these assholes off the hook once. It will be interesting to see if it does again.
Yer boyz gave continual access and implied credibility to idiots like Powell and Guliani. All while privately admitting that they knew it was bullshit and that they only cared about keeping their ratings. They called it "respecting their audience." But it seems to me that any "reasonable person" would be pretty upset to be so intentionally misled.

Yeah, that sums it up well. That and how much they "respect their audience."

See my point about "respect" above. He will say anything to get you to watch ads for generic boner pills. And
YOU actually "respect"
THAT? Faak. Maybe you are a bit more sophisticated than his average viewer. But too many of them believe every damn thing he says. He knows that too. Doesn't care. That's not respect.

Carlson on air stated that.

Was that before or after he had Lindell on to repeat the same dumbass shit? I forget. And...was that before or after he asked that Henrich get fired for fact checking? Man, that stock price wuz doin sum crazy shit. And the lack of "respect" she had....WHEW!
Yer okay, though, Kid. I mean that. You understand all of this more than most. And I truly believe that you laugh your ass off during his entire show. But summa yer friends....well..they take the word of him and his pals almost as....marching orders.
Now where the fuck is Bestie? I'm worried. Anyone check on him lately? Maybe...Norovirus? Antibiotic resistant Gono-ca-ca-coccus?
