Fox news convicted liars

Fox isn't reporting on this so far, because it's "ongoing litigation." So many of their viewers may be unaware of the suit and what it has revealed about the core Trump boosters at Fox . Meantime those boosters have become far more strident about Biden and Dems since the disclosure of the Hannity, Carlson, and Ingraham emails.  LOTS of airtime now devoted to Biden's failure to shoot down the Chinese Balloon and Jill's affront to all true winners of sports competitions. "Look whom you voted for, people!" Still much laughter and sneering at the Dem elites who look down on all of us and get away with breaking laws. Double standards, hypocrites. Tonight Tucker is slamming the disinforming NPR for telling people it's ok to be fat, and reporting on dumb stuff like trans people loving dinosaurs.  "Transcerotops" can you believe it? "NPR has always been kind of awful and unbearable," says Tucker. So much for "state media." 

Knowledge of the suit will peel off a few wavering, disoriented and disappointed near-MAGA viewers. 

But I don't think it will make much difference to the majority of the base, who will "know" this was a set up by a "swamp" out to get Trump.
RINOS like Barr may turn on Trump, but not them. 

Because of what they already "know" about the MSM, this will just mean--for a while--that ALL news is equally untrustworthy, especially the news sources that reported the truth about Trump all along. 

My liberal friends my think that the exposed commentators are now damaged goods with no prospects, but I doubt that as well. Just as Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart was rehabilitated--twice--for dalliance with prostitutes, so will their audience come back to them, because they know what that audience wants to hear. Just as they keep coming back to Trump, no matter how many investigations for rape, campaign violations, mishandling of classified documents, and sedition, the "haters" throw at him.

If it was never about truth in the first place, then things won't change much when falsehood is exposed.

If Fox folds I will cheer. That will be great for the country; but into the resulting vacuum will come another news entity, like an expanded Newsmax or OANN, to fill it, probably willing to hire Fox cast offs, or give air time to new and equally capable replacements. Or a damaged Fox could gradually be rebuilt, so that Americans will always have "alternative facts" and an alternative narrative to "balance" the more fact-based reporting of the MSM.

The demand is there. Created and schooled by Fox for two decades. Supply will follow, one way or another.
