Hello.

We've got another Dominion slide deck from its March 21 hearing.

Interesting tidbits follow.

The Fox News Decision Team sent a memo to "Those Concerned" on November 3, 2020, laying out how many states with early Trump leads in the early hours would subsequently shift to Biden which "does NOT mean that there are problems with the integrity of the vote count."

In this 11/11/20 email -- previously redacted -- Fox CEO Suzanne Scott says that after Fox's Arizona call for Biden "A trust has been broken and it's our jobs to help them through this to the other side ...and certainly speaking to the audience with respect is critical."

Jeanine Pirro's executive producer re: her 11/21/20 show (which was filled with Dominion lies): "She is refusing to drastically change the open despite the fact check."

Executive overseeing show: "Understood."

Mystery solved: Eric Trump emailed Sean Hannity asking him to help after "someone at Fox denied DJT's newest campaign ad" and he cc'd Murdoch calling it "above my pay grade."

In January 2021, Fox executive producer Justin Wells said he suggested booking Megyn Kelly but "Rupert and Lachlan are a hard no."

11/20/20 emails between Suzanne Scott and Rupert Murdoch about firing Bill Sammon and Chris Stirewalt (or as Rupert called him, "the other guy").

Previously redacted 11/6/20 Rupert-to-Scott email: It would be great if we call it for Biden as soon as he gets over, say, 35,000 ahead in Pennsylvania. Whenever we do it it will all be over. Regardless of Arizona."

In a follow-up expressing "second thoughts," he told her "Maybe 50,000 in Pennsylvania and subject to litigation."

From a previously redacted October 2020 memo from Raj Shah about Tucker Carlson Tonight: "Framing any and all policy announcements as 'socialism' and taken from an AOC-Bernie Sanders playbook will likely animate Tucker's core audience."

Raj Shah, discussing internal data re: Tucker viewers, cites a "Concern that Tucker may take the info on affirmative action/diversity/inclusion as a green light from
corporate to go harder at the issue when he's already devoting tons of programming time to it."

Previously redacted quotes from a Raj Shah memo to Lachlan Murdoch on 11/13/20: "Fox News is facing a brand crisis... open revolt... precipitous decline in Fox's favorability among our core audience... poses lasting damage to the Fox News brand unless effectively addressed soon."

Previously redacted Fox internal memo on "Instances of Talent Support for the 'Stolen Election' Narrative" with "break outs for Mark Levin, Newt Gingrich, and Gregg Jarrett."

That's it for now.
