All three Fox primetime shows last night ran with the Trump campaign's claim that "suitcases" of Georgia ballots had been counted without an election supervisor present.

That turns out to be total bullshit, as their own network now reports.
Scandalize first, fact-check afterwards if at all.
btw this is the chyron Fox is now using for reports on how the video actually doesn't show fraud.
Now moving on to Sandra Smith saying, "More and more whistleblowers continue to come forward and we hear these stories. Is the American public willing to let this play out both sides of the aisle?"
BOMBSHELL ALLEGATIONS OF GEORGIA ELECTION FRAUD
Jesus, now America's Newsroom is playing video of Hannity last night claiming the video showed fraud -- they just debunked this five minutes ago!
A chyron Fox News' "straight news" is using for a segment about a video they have reported is not, in fact, a "smoking gun."

Some truly deranged and dangerous rhetoric coming out of the Trump World lawyers this week.

Here's a chyron that ran on the November 24 edition of Fox "straight news" flagship Special Report, as Bill Bennett explained that "this election was stolen."
On the night of Nov. 24, Trump watched Rep. Gosar's appearance on the previous night's edition of Lou Dobbs.

Scott Atlas was the purest example of the Trump-Fox feedback loop in action: An unqualified ideologue launched to power because the president liked his Fox hits.

The result was that a lot of people died from the coronavirus for no reason.
Here are two people who got a lot of Americans killed talking about how right they've been about everything (Tucker didn't ask him why he suddenly resigned because he's a propagandist who has contempt for his audience).

Ben Shapiro's The Daily Wire just sent an email to its list urging them to "cut the cord" and instead subscribe to them, in part because Fox News called Arizona for Biden and "downplayed any questions about voting irregularities reported from the most important swing states."
The Daily Wire's Candace Owens was on Lou Dobbs' show yesterday and Sean Hannity's and Tucker Carlson's earlier in the week.
Many of the Wire "stars" have benefitted from exposure on Fox; now the outlet is going after Fox's revenue, explicitly because it is only *sometimes* denying reality to prop up Trump.

1. President Trump, Fox News, and other pro-Trump propaganda outlets created an impermeable information bubble for the Republican base.
2. Within that bubble, it is canon that the 2020 election was ripe with voter fraud and that Trump actually won if you only count the "legal votes."
3. The Trump legal strategy is an absolute joke, because courts largely exist in the real world where evidence needs to be produced, and there's no evidence for the mass voter fraud because it didn't happen.

BUT!
