The <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> that the election was rigged is regurgitated every day by Fox&#8217;s devoted Trump-fluffers. Never mind that neither Fox News nor Trump has been able to provide a scintilla of evidence of fraud. To the contrary, they repeatedly put forth blatantly bogus examples of alleged proof that are easily refuted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52563\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Posts \u2018Foolproof\u2019 Evidence that the Election Was \u2018Rigged\u2019 But it\u2019s Only Proof for Fools<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Monday morning <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/04\/25\/politics\/mark-meadows-texts-2319\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CNN published<\/a><\/strong> over 2,300 never before seen texts messages that they obtained from Trump&#8217;s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Among them were conversations between Meadows and Fox News hack, Sean Hannity. The substance of their discussions further documents the unsavory marriage of Fox and Trump as they endeavor to undermine democracy. CNN reports that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;CNN has obtained 2,319 text messages that former President Donald Trump&#8217;s White House chief of staff Mark Meadows sent and received between Election Day 2020 and President Joe Biden&#8217;s January 20, 2021 inauguration.<\/p>\n<p>The vast trove of texts offers the most revealing picture to date of how Trump&#8217;s inner circle, supporters and Republican lawmakers worked behind the scenes to try to overturn the election results and then reacted to the violence that effort unleashed at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.&#8221; [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The never-before-seen texts include messages from Trump&#8217;s family &#8212; daughter Ivanka Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner and son Donald Trump Jr. &#8212; as well as White House and campaign officials, Cabinet members, Republican Party leaders, January 6 rally organizers, Rudy Giuliani, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, Sean Hannity and other Fox hosts. There are also text exchanges with more than 40 current and former Republican members of Congress, including Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Mo Brooks of Alabama and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The texts exchanged between Hannity and Meadows are especially illuminating. They show that Hannity was both advising and taking orders from the Trump team. According to CNN&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Among Meadows&#8217; most frequent interactions were those with Fox&#8217;s Sean Hannity, a well-known friend of Trump. Throughout the logs, Hannity both gives advice and asks for direction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On the afternoon of Election Day, Hannity texted Meadows to ask about turnout in North Carolina.<br \/>\nMeadows responded: &#8216;Stress every vote matters. Get out and vote.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes sir,&#8221; Hannity replied. &#8220;On it. Any place in particular we need a push.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pennsylvania. NC AZ,&#8221; Meadows wrote. &#8220;Nevada.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Got it. Everywhere,&#8221; Hannity said.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;Yes sir!&#8221;? <\/em> So Hannity was coordinating strategy with Trump&#8217;s chief of staff to steal the election from the American people. It&#8217;s bad enough when the host of a so-called <em>&#8220;news&#8221;<\/em> network openly advocates on behalf of a corrupt politician. It is another thing entirely to choreograph schemes with coup plotters. But that is precisely what Hannity is doing here.

Ivanka Trump texting Meadows, Jared Kushner and others that <em>&#8220;You are all WARRIORS of epic proportions! Keep the faith and the fight.&#8221;<\/em> And Jim Jordan suggesting that Mike Pence should refuse to count electoral votes from states that Biden won.

Not surprisingly, their story didn&#8217;t mention that any of those messages were to or from Sean Hannity. That&#8217;s a curious omission after deciding to report on the text messages at all.<\/p>\n<p>However, it&#8217;s typical of the dishonesty and distortion that is so integral to how Fox News mangles journalism.
