It’s a good thing you’re probably sitting down, because we have shocking news for you: Fox News isn’t actually a real news network.
I know, it was a lot for me to process before coffee today, too.
The Dominion lawsuit bombshell reveal contained all kinds of damning information from Fox News anchors and others who said some shocking truths about their propaganda network owned by evil Australian overlord Rupert Murdoch.
After months of the discovery process, Dominion accumulated a goldmine pile of evidence, including internal communications by the biggest names at Fox News.
The $1.5 billion lawsuit also reveals that Fox has “no editorial guidelines” and it’s “all about the ratings” for hosts like MAGA Money Dummy Maria Bartiromo.

Texts obtained from Dominion’s lawsuit against Fox News show that hosts Tucker “MAGA Milquetoast” Carlson, Sean “Client Number Three” Hannity, and Laura “Eva Brawny” Ingraham called the right-wing guests on their own shows “Fucking lunatics,” “totally off the rails,” and “MIND BLOWINGLY NUTS.”

Pot, kettle, black souls much, Faux News?
In one text exchange between Hannity and Carlson regarding Fox reporter Jacqui Heinrich–who had the audacity to question Trump’s fraudulent election claims in 2020–Hannity says he wants Heinrich fired for accurately fact-checking Trump on his Dominion lies, with Carlson jumping hard on that bandwagon.

“Please get her fired. Seriously….What the fuck? I’m actually shocked…It needs to stop immediately, like tonight,” Tucker replied to Hannity.
In another text exchange revealed in the court filing, Carlson texted Ingraham, saying that Sidney Powell, an attorney who was representing the Trump campaign, was “lying” and that he had “caught her” doing so.
Ingraham responded, “Sidney is a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy [Giuliani].”
The revelations only lead to more questions, though.
Did Fox and its hosts act “with malice” when it came to defaming Dominion, or were they “just following orders”?
If even Judge Jeanine “Box O’Wine” Pirro is speaking out, you know you’ve got a yuge problem on your tiny hands.
According to the suit, even Rupert Murdoch could see the writing on the wall as he watched Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell’s appearance on Fox on Nov. 19th.
Murdoch called Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and told her the segment was “Terrible stuff damaging everybody, I fear.”
Scott concurred: “Even Pirro agrees,” yikes!
We probably have only just begun to learn about all of the terrible on this dedicated propaganda network.
Twitter was soaking in the schadenfreude on Friday, because there was just so much of it, we could feed everyone on Earth for a solid month with plenty left over for seconds.

Fox got into Dominion conspiracy theories in the first place because Sidney Powell got a deranged email from someone who thought she was a ghost, and Antonin Scalia was murdered in a Most Dangerous Game-style "human hunting expedition." pic.twitter.com/Zo9r2KV4QD

Since it’s #RandomActsofKindnessDay I’d love for all streaming services to do all Americans a kindness by dropping Fox News from their platforms like they dropped Newsmax & OAN pic.twitter.com/EbcGFrUJrP

When a few people on Fox tried to factcheck or correct conspiracies & lies about the election / Dominion — ~they~ were reprimanded or seen as the problem
