Watching reactions to the #DominionvFox settlement.

Deja vu of so many times folks had big expectations (pushed by media coverage) about how big cases & civil litigation would somehow heroically defend democracy with a clear win.

Only to be inevitably disappointed. 1/
2/ As our democracy is assailed by relentless streams of disinformation & institutions are attacked, it's important to recognize that we are rarely going to get clean, unambiguous wins.

Especially from the legal system. Especially when parties have competing incentives.
3/ People want heroes when the stakes are big.

Media encourages it.

Easier to cheer heroics on a screen... than roll up sleeves & find your own way to pitch in.

If you take the first path, prepare yourself for the inevitable disappointment as heroes never. quite. deliver.

THREAD ON FIXING FOX 1/

Let's do a Thread as Dominion lawsuit is settled. Fox pays enormous $787 million dollar compensation for LYING ON AIR, and admits in public they did so. But this was never about #FixFox. That will come LATER

This is BONUS VICTORY for Team Blue. Read on.. Image
Thread On Fixing Fox 2/

Trump was CREATED by Fox. Fox can create the next Trump (Death Santis is their current project). Fox is a dangerous brainwashing monster, taking advantage of US media protection, and owned by that evil Australian bastard Rupert Murdoch. We need to #FixFox Image
Thread On Fixing Fox 3/

Trump OUTGREW Fox. Today Trump is their Frankenstein's Monster who cannot be controlled. This Dominion settlement today, is a STUPID mistake by Fox. They had no 'need' to get involved in Trump's absurd likes about election fraud in 2020 run by Giuliani Image

๐Ÿ“ŒI am deeply, deeply disappointed in this #DominionvFox settlement.

๐Ÿ“ŒAs a career journalist, I hate Murdoch, his disgusting network, and the ghouls it employs with every, single fiber of my soul. The stain they have left on my profession will never wash out.

๐Ÿ“ŒSince launching his attack on America by standing up his Fox propaganda outlet in 1996, the Australian-born Murdoch and his wretched team of cancerous carnival-barking hyenas have blown more hot air across this planet than all the stinking, coal-burning factories combined.
๐Ÿ“ŒWe KNOW Fox didn't believe the nuclear-grade crap they were doling out to their millions of viewers in the wake of the election. They continued anyway, though, worried they might lose an audience who they had made fat and unhappy over the decades.
