These were not merely differences of opinion. There were documents that proved that Fox personnel were making public comments on the air that were diametrically opposed to what they were saying to one another in private.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56363\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">In Dominion v Fox News, Network Cries \u2018We Can\u2019t Make People Think We\u2019ve Turned Against Trump\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This deceit and hypocrisy is still going on today. On Sunday morning, Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, interviewed Trump&#8217;s running mate, JD Vance. In the course of her questioning, she asked him about the repeatedly debunked allegations of election fraud in 2020&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Bartiromo:<\/strong> President (sic) Trump continues to say that the 2020 election was stolen. He told me that again in this interview. How comfortable are you, in terms of the progress being made by the RNC and republicans, saying that, in fact, we will have a fair election this November?<br \/>\n<strong>Vance:<\/strong> Well, I think we&#8217;re making a lot of progress, Maria. [&#8230;] The basic principle here is every American citizen&#8217;s vote should count. but if you&#8217;re not an American citizen, and you&#8217;re not casting a legal ballot, you&#8217;re vote shouldn&#8217;t count. Right? It&#8217;s sort of common sense that the Republican Party believes in. And interestingly, the Democrats seem to want illegal aliens to have the right to vote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Maria Bartiromo just accepts Trump&#39;s lies about the 2020 election being stolen.

In effect, she was validating Trump&#8217;s utterly fictional premise that the 2020 election was stolen. And consequently, she was implying that there would a be similar act of election theft in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Vance, of course, totally bought into Bartiromo&#8217;s narrative. Why shouldn&#8217;t he? He was asked a leading question by a biased Trump flunky, and he happily took the bait. But that&#8217;s not all. Vance furthered the dishonest narrative by extending the lie to accusations that undocumented immigrants were somehow responsible for stealing elections. And of course, he accused Democrats of advocating for that. Vance has no evidence to support those reckless and dangerous assertions, and neither does Bartiromo, who didn&#8217;t bother to point out that Vance was making stuff up.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly Fox News has learned nothing from their having to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars for purposefully lying. Except maybe that they refrained from attaching their lies to a specific entity that could make a claim of defamation. They are more careful now to sanitize their deceit to avoid legal liability. But they are no less deceitful.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, Fox News &#8211; and Trump and his MAGA team &#8211; will continue to pursue this path of pernicious lies, despite the fact that their efforts are obvious and tired rehashes of tactics that have failed in the past. They have nothing of substance to make their case, so they resort to desperation and fear mongering. And while it is surely not going to work, it is going make the next few months more annoying as these weirdos wallow in the slime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62392\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crybaby Trump Unleashes a Flaming Freak Out Vilifying Fox News for Not Censoring his Foes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62363\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pete Buttigieg Gives a Master Class on Truth-Telling About Trump on Fox News Sunday<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62317\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News is Officially an Arm of Chinese State Media, Regurgitating its Attacks on Kamala Harris<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two years ago Fox News agreed to a record setting settlement with Dominion Voting Systems for engaging in blatant defamation against the company.
