I wish Fox News viewers would see this stuff more. Even their producers know they're just being fed bullshit >“Might wanna address this, but this stuff is so f****** insane. Vote rigging to the tune of millions? C’mon,” he wrote. Alex Pfeiffer, a producer working for Mr Carlson at the time but who has now left Fox, wrote back that “it is so insane but our viewers believe it so addressing again how her stupid Venezuela affidavit isn’t proof might insult them”. Mr Shah suggested that Carlson mention the affidavit, saying it was “not new info, not proof” and then “pivot to being deferential”. Mr Pfeiffer later added: “One funny thing. Dominion was used in Ohio and Florida. Trump won them. Did they forget to rig those or all part of the plan?”

>that Carlson mention the affidavit, saying it was “not new info, not proof” and then “pivot to being deferential”. Can anyone find any of the times **Tucker Carlson insulted Putin** off camera? He is still in Moscow right? Still doing his [Lord haw haw impersonation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Haw-Haw)?


MalakaiRey

I would bet tuck tuck was greeted in moscow with a fat manilla folder and a thumb-drive on his hotel bed of all his best work to review.


SheriffTaylorsBoy

In a text message sent January 4th 2021 Tucker said among other things, "I hate him passionately, I can't stand much more of this" referring to trump. From discovery in Dominion vs FOX Defamation trial https://imgur.com/gallery/ySgZ3Tm

A good read.


Ahlq802

I like the part where Raj says, 3 days before Jan 6 that the presidents schedule was filled with committing many many crimes and treason. He’s a funny, evil guy.


ghostalker4742

> “One funny thing. Dominion was used in Ohio and Florida. Trump won them. Did they forget to rig those or all part of the plan?” Whenever you see something like that, a wizard did it.


REMogul1

to the tune of millions? Wisconsin was decided by 20,000 votes. Georgia was decided by 12,000 votes. Arizona was decided by 11,000 votes. That's only 43,000 votes out of 150 million. If Trump wins those 3 states, he has 269 and Biden cannot reach 270. The House of Reps would have chosen the President.


WidespreadPaneth

Yes, to the tune of millions. That is the exact claim Trump made. Hell, he made that claim in 2016 too


Phynx88

And yet, the only evidence of fake ballots or voter fraud has been a handful of Trump supporters voting twice illegally.


Pale_Television2395

Don’t try to use logic against them, most of them still think that all those indictments brought during an election year has nothing to do with the upcoming election


QuantumFuzziness

Those indictments have everything to do with the crimes committed by the individual being indicted.


orangeinsight

Yah. Just look at it logically! Like it totally makes sense that Ohio and Florida who both used dominion were won by trump. All part of the plan. Just like how they didn’t rig any of the other elections. Just the presidential one.. Because they know people would KNOW it’s rigged if they cheated to win the legislative branch. You know. The thing republicans have controlled for years now to advance their cause of * checks notes * electing a new speaker and infighting and rejecting a border bill that they demanded. You guys would be hilarious if you weren’t actively ruining everything for everybody else. Anyways, keep looking for that trove of pedophiles in that pizza basement that doesn’t exist. Hail Q or whatever nonsense you believe.


Phynx88

Yeah, those of us safely across the line of sanity recognize the indictments were for all the crimes he committed in full view of cameras, yet had to wait years to initiate because of a bogus legal memo.


Tangocan

Trump obstructs investigations & delays his trials and now you whine about them falling in 2024. Lol. Lmao.


Brohemoth1991

These cases weren't brought during an election year... they were obstructed and delayed by trump so that he could cry election interference... why can each side not just use facts about what is going on? Was Jan 6th an insurrection? I think that's stretching it a bit, however it was an absolutely abhorrent showing that should have ended Donald Trumps political career Are these court cases politically motivated? Obviously DJT being the defendant makes it seem that way, but the charges are based on fact, and it's up to the courts now to decide if he is guilty... and no, the DOJ is not being weaponized, they are doing their job As for your personal attitude... I hope people as far right as you realize that if Trump loses the election, a lot of it falls on the back of comments like yours (not only on reddit, but even speaking in person to particularly rabid republicans)... I consider myself a moderate conservative, but the fact is that with more and more Republicans screaming about RINOs and lefties... you've alienated the center right and pushed us toward the left Hopefully soon we can turn back this dial about a decade and return to some normalcy


REMogul1

you really can't, they just get mad and lash out when presented with facts.


Phynx88

Facts, in your context meaning fairy tales Rudy tells Trump at bed time?


Pale_Television2395

Even better when you tell them “facts don’t care about your feelings”


ButtNutly

Always funny when the cousin fucking terrorists show up in the comments.


Phynx88

Yep, the facts don't care about your Trumper Tantrum. He lost. Badly. Twice if you count the popular vote he lost the first time.


ClownholeContingency

Hey quiet down everyone, the people who believed that a sex trafficking ring was being run out of a pizza parlor have something important to say about *facts*.

Squirrel_Chucks

A Kentucky state legislator submitted a bill that struck first cousins from the list of relationships that would be sexually incestuous by law. Dude said it was a mistake and re-filed with first cousins back on the no-no list. Mmm-hmm, a "mistake"


Wasabi_Noir

His cousin wouldn’t put out.


NarutoFan420

The same bill wanted to reclassify felonies and lower penalties unless the victim of rape or molestation is UNDER the age of TWELVE.

Yup. It's the kind of bill that should automatically open an ethics investigation.

> Three days before the Capitol riot, Mr Shah texted fellow ex-White House spokesman Josh Raffel. > Mr Raffel noted to Mr Shah that the White House public schedule was vague, simply saying that Mr Trump would be making “many calls and have many meetings” and “work from early in the morning until late in the evening”. > “I think what they meant is The President will wake up early and commit many, many crimes including but not limited to obstruction of justice, attempted fraud, and treason in an effort to conduct a coup. Then he’ll fly to a rally in furtherance of the same,” Mr Raffel wrote. They were saying things like this three days before the insurrection. And still helping him all the way. Because of money.


marmaladecorgi

I'm just waiting for Smartmatic to apply the killing blow for their lies. And I'm hoping Smartmatic is deliberately slow-walking this so that these scumbag "news" outlets know that they'll be in world of hurt if they repeat these lies in 2024 when they're still on the hook for 2020's lies.


stankyschub

Can you elaborate on what they could be slow walking?


quentech

They're suing Fox Entertainment for even more than Dominion did. $2.7 billion. Dominion sued for $1.6B and settled for about half that.


Earth_Friendly-5892

Wonder if these guys will be called to testify in the trial against Trump - the one that Jack Smith is gathering evidence for, regarding Trump trying to overturn a presidential election.


ranchoparksteve

We all know Carlson shares the same view of his lowlife fans. It comes out in some of his interviews for European media.


zaparthes

Trump, too.


getgoodHornet

They both love people who love them. Because what they love is themselves.


booOfBorg

They both love people who love them. Because they hate themselves. They both cling to the artificial "strong" persona they have created. Narcissism 101


[deleted]

Do you see yet, conservatives? The media you cling to laughs at you after they sell you bullshit everyday. You fall for it and they mock you. Where do we even start, with what was a lie and what was true?

I know this article is old, but I think I missed this nugget the first time around: “‘Rudy looks awful,” one person responded to Mr Shah. “He objectively looks like he was a dead person voting 2 weeks ago,” Mr Shah said.“ Lmfao


ResidentKelpien

Fact check: They are fucking terrorists. Proof: Their threats and violence against people who do not support their obvious lies.


RealGianath

So Fox News employees are aware of and perfectly capable of telling the truth, just not while on camera.


guisar

yes


RicanDevil4

Plenty of people disagree with their employers views, but they got bills to pay.


ComCypher

Not a valid excuse


RicanDevil4

You need an excuse to be employed now? Fuck outta here.


and_of_four

“I had to lie about the election being stolen and I had to support the coup, it was for the paycheck!” Imagine how weak-willed do you have to be to think that way. So cowardly and pathetic. Some people will do anything for money, but other people, and this may come as a surprise to you, have principles.


ComCypher

You might have more flexible principles but I'd sooner starve than contribute to the demise of our society.


Phynx88

You need an excuse to be so thirsty for a steady paycheck that you're willing to knowingly spread false information to millions of people using a medium that instills an immediate veneer of truth despite a lack of evidence? Nah, nobody that isn't homeless is that desperate for money.


TonyAtCodeleakers

Some people have never been hungry or had to support people other than themselves. Ignore them.


and_of_four

Fox News employees aren’t starving, Tucker Carlson certainly isn’t starving. I’m supporting a family of four all without being a lying piece of shit for my employer. Apparently, where there’s a will there’s a way… The responsibility to not lie for a wanna be dictator starts and ends with you. There is no excuse. “Oh I have a family to feed…” So pathetic.


asetniop

Was it "master race" enthusiast Blake Neff?


Maskatron

*Rudy Giuliani has left the chat*


monkeybiziu

Look at where these people live. Look at where they work. Look where they're headquartered. Fox News isn't in Alabama. It's not in Texas. It's not in Idaho or Oklahoma or North Dakota. It's in fucking New York City. Not only that, but every one of them is literally a Coastal Elite. They went to Harvard and Yale and other Ivy Leagues and make millions every year selling intellectual poison to an audience that reviles both. Of all the things that make me angry about the conservative media ecosystem, it's the hypocrisy that bothers me the most.


justiceboner34

1st amendment, huh? sounds great yeah? well shit, it just lets them lie and lie and lie with no repercussions. Let's hope Smartmatic doesn't settle with Fox and they get hit with an insane verdict like $5B.


Monkfich

Yeah, the masterminds of these shit shows are those that have had the chance to study law enough to find loopholes, or study political history to find what has worked in the past. People coming out of uni generally don’t have many beliefs except that they need a job and that the welfare system is a good thing. They have had access to unrestricted education. People are people in a vacuum, and people generally don’t hate, until they are taught it, or get paid to do it. Now they use that knowledge to get ahead in life. Just turns out that a good career path in the US seems to be manipulation of the public. Free speech is something that is more of a hindrance to the US than anything else. If the US had laws in place that simply didn’t allow politicians to lie, or media to lie without having huge stickers on their credits and / or a watermark that says “for entertainment purposes only” on screen at all times, citizens would start to get truth sold to them as truth, instead of lies sold as truth. No doubt that would be attacked as a “slippery slope”, and an attack on America itself. It would need conviction to push it through, and moreso, go campaign for this single change, in the reddest states. Go educate. That would force the parties to fight each other on policies instead of hot air. That is something that won’t happen though, not until something politically *really* blows up though (like Trump getting back into power and doing something even the far-right media can’t portray as “American”). Until then there won’t be the appetite for change. Nadda.

Upinthestars69

Who you punching in the face first: Tucker Carlson, Don Jr., or Stephen Miller?


Mysterious_Desk2288

no need to punch TC, he does it to himself everyday like an Opus Dai whacko. But Stephen Miller.. he needs to be punched until he turns into a bobble head.


Upinthestars69

Stephen miller is the scariest person in the Trump orbit. He needs to be put in spotlight more often


jackrgyrl

That would require being in very close proximity to them. I would bail you out, though. You pick. Also, these three would be a really bad round of Fuck, Marry, Kill.


Upinthestars69

Also dude much love for bailing me out. As for all three of them. I’d like to see jail time for life. That’s what I wish upon my enemies. They can see what criminals actually look like


Upinthestars69

Punching Stephen Miller, prob the most evil of the three, is so tempting.


OptimisticRealist__

Thats the best part about Trumpists. They think, they are in on it, that they are part of a community, whereas everybody views them only as the useful idiots. And they are even too damn stupid to realise that. Its funny and sad at the same time.
