Those [expletive] are destroying our credibility. It enrages me.” Carlson: “At this point we’re getting hurt no matter what.” Pfeiffer: “It’s a hard needle to thread, but I really think many on ‘our side’ are being reckless demagogues right now.” Carlson: “Of course they are. We’re not going to follow them.” Carlson: “What [Trump]’s good at is destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong.” Nov. 7, 2020 — The day Fox called the election for Biden Carlson to his producer: “Do the executives understand how much credibility and trust we’ve lost with our audience? We’re playing with fire, for real …. an alternative like newsmax could be devastating to us.” Carlson: “[T]he software [expletive] is absurd …. Half of our viewers have seen the Maria clip.” Carlson texted this message the night that Fox anchor Maria Bartiromo first aired Sidney Powell’s voter fraud claims. Powell was representing Trump and pushed conspiracy theories that Dominion’s voting machines had rigged the election in Biden’s favor. Nov. 8, 2O20 Pfeiffer to Carlson: “I don’t think there is evidence of voter fraud that swung the election.” Nov. 9, 2020 Tommy Firth, producer for Ingraham, to Ron Mitchell, one of the Fox executives responsible for overseeing Ingraham’s show: “This dominion [expletive] is going to give me a [expletive] aneurysm — as many times as I’ve told Laura it’s bs, she sees [expletive] posters and trump tweeting it.” Mitchell: “This is the Bill Gates/microchip angle to voter fraud.” Later in the day, Mitchell: “How’s it going [with] the kooks?” Nov. 10, 2020 Pfeiffer to Carlson: “Many viewers were upset tonight that we didn’t cover election fraud … [I]t’s all our viewers care about right now.” Carlson: “I just hate this [expletive].” Nov. 12, 2020 — A group text thread involving Ingraham, Hannity, and Carlson During their group message, Carlson drew attention to a tweet by Fox reporter Jacqui Heinrich, who was “fact checking” a tweet by Trump that mentioned Dominion, according to the filing. The tweet mentioned Hannity’s and Lou Dobbs’ broadcasts that evening, which discussed Dominion. “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” Heinrich tweeted. Carlson to Hannity: “Please get her fired. Seriously …. What the [expletive]? I’m actually shocked … It needs to stop immediately, like tonight. It’s measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke.” Hannity: “I’m 3 strikes. [Chris] Wallace [expletive] debate[.] Election night a disaster[.] Now this BS? Nope. Not gonna fly.” Wallace had been criticized for his performance in moderating the first presidential debate. Hannity later discussed the matter with his team. By the next morning, Heinrich had deleted her tweet. Nov. 15, 2020 — A group text thread between Ingraham, Hannity, and Carlson Ingraham to Hannity and Carlson: “[Sidney Powell is] a bit nuts.” She also texted Carlson, according to the court filing, that “Sidney is a complete nut,” “No one will work with her,” and “Ditto with Rudy [Giuliani],” who was also representing Trump. Nov. 16, 2020 Carlson to Pfeiffer: “Sidney Powell is lying. [Expletive] [Expletive].” Nov. 18, 2020 Pfeiffer texted Carlson that election fraud claims “need to be backed up” or it could undermine Biden as president if he was eventually confirmed. Carlson to Pfeiffer: “Yep. It’s bad.” Nov. 22, 2020 Raj Shah, senior vice president at the Fox Corporation to Pfeiffer: “[Expletive] is so crazy right now. So many people openly denying the obvious that Powell is clearly full of it.” Pfeiffer: “She is a [expletive] nutcase.” Carlson to Ingraham: “[Powell’s] a nut, as you said at the outset. It totally wrecked my weekend. Wow … I had to try to make the WH disavow her, which they obviously should have done long before.” Ingraham: “No serious lawyer could believe what they were saying.” Carlson: “But they said nothing in public. Pretty disgusting.” Carlson texted his executive producer Justin Wells that weekend: “We won the battle with Powell. Thank god.” Dobbs to John Fawcett, a producer on his show: He texted Fawcett that he did not know what Powell was “thinking or doing, Or why!” Fawcett: “Could be losing her mind.” Fawcett: “I just don’t think she is verifying anything she is saying.” Before a Nov. 16 broadcast, Fawcett also texted others at Fox that he believed Powell was “doing lsd and cocaine and heroine and shrooms.” Jan. 6, 2021 Carlson to Pfeiffer: “[Trump] is a demonic force, a destroyer. But he’s not going to destroy us.” A violent mob loyal to Trump stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after Trump’s repeated peddling of baseless election fraud claims. Parts of the building were ransacked, police officers were assaulted, and elected officials were sent into hiding. Five people died as a result of the attack. Undated Dana Perino, a political commentator: In texts and emails obtained by Dominion, she described the allegations about the election company and election fraud, as “total bs,” “insane,” and “nonsense.” Perino also messaged: “Where the hell did they even get this Venezuela tie to dominion? I mean wtf.” https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/03/01/nation/tucker-carlson-called-trump-demonic-force-read-fox-news-employees-texts-about-voter-fraud-2020-presidential-election/
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 2h Rumors are flying high that idiot RINO Paul Ryan, who has greatly hurt the “credibility” of Rupert Murdoch with his ridiculous stance that the 2020 Election was all “peaches and cream,” will be fired “like a dog” from the Fox Board. Fox is going in the wrong direction, ratings are heading down, and Murdoch just threw certain very good people, who were correct, under the bus. He played right into the enemies camp. Viewers, and MAGA, are not happy! Mar 02, 2023, 7:59 AM https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/109953810339577739 Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 2h Rupert Murdoch should apologize to his viewers and readers for his ridiculous defense of the 2020 Presidential Election. How many forms of cheating and rigging does he have to see? He should also apologize to those anchors who got it right, and fire the ones who got it wrong, or were afraid to speak up (of which there were many!). It’s time to get rid of Fake News, and call it like it is! Mar 02, 2023, 8:08 AM https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/109953841979839141 "He should also apologize to those anchors who got it right" Nov. 16, 2020 Carlson to Pfeiffer: “Sidney Powell is lying. [Expletive] [Expletive].” Remember #Italygate? Was Sidney Powell, General Flynn, Mark Meadows and so many others Lying about #Italygate #italydidit? You know, the REAL hack executed late in the night by Italian military contractor Leonardo? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italygate Italygate is a pro-Trump, QAnon-affiliated[1][2] conspiracy theory that alleges the 2020 United States presidential election was rigged to favor Joe Biden using satellites and military technology to remotely switch votes from Donald Trump to Biden from the U.S. Embassy in Rome.[1] The conspiracy was also rumored to involve the Vatican.[2] Fact-checkers at Reuters and USA Today, who investigated these claims, described them as "false" and "baseless".[1][3] The main Crew at Faux news is apparently being given more chances to change [their] current GITMO trajectory and help out in 2024. [They] will always be [THEY] to this Anon. [FOX] were 100% supportive of the Neocon Bush Regime [FOX] like all MSM, were 100% supportive of the 9-11 commission report. [FOX] did everything they could for decades to divide this Nation by Religion, Politics et al. [FOX] does not work for Murdoch… Murdoch works for his Papal Masters… Thanks for Playing!
IF you google Dominion voting machines now, you get nothing but fact checkers. Dominion is suing everyone. This only means that they have plenty of money, however. How could so many people get it so wrong, however? This is the smoke/fire argument. So let me show some smoke:
There is the small issue of Lindell tracking them in real time, and Dr Frank's sauce. There are the mysterious spikes in the middle of the night, as well as the bloated voter rolls that allowed some counties to return votes from more than 100% of the voters. - this is where Dominion has plausible deniability, because the fraud centers around the bloated voter rolls i.e. ballot stuffing, not necessarily 'flipping' votes.

and notice that Trump talks about illegal votes, and he warned us as early as 2018. He knew.

Thank you. Was this done via the machines being online? Do you think these Fox people never looked into the details?
To the first, I think there was an algorithm to win elections 51-49%, and the machines were used to hunt out the votes that were non-existent to make up the missing votes. For example, people that did not live in certain addresses (phantom votes). This leads to the voter-rolls being bloated, to facilitate that. So, the votes were not flipped, but the ballot boxes were effectively stuffed.
To the second, yes - Fox was too quick in assuming the whole story was bogus. Perhaps there was no conspiracy with the Leonardo satellite/Munich or whatever. We haven't seen any information to the contrary, however. It's just that the foreign interference angle is too fantastical for most people. We shall probably never know, as such interference would trigger unrest in the world, where some others do not want it. USA is happy to de-stabilize Russia and China now, but Italy maybe not so much. At the time, China was not in the firing line, either, even if some people found evidence of servers being very active over there. We just don't know.
The time between Nov 4 and Jan 6 was extremely compressed, not only because it took so long to count the votes. To find out what actually transpired took a lot longer than what the founding fathers envisioned. What happened was that the fraud was not able to be positively proven before Jan 6. After that date, we were faced with a fait accompli.
I don't think Fox were justified to paint Guiliani and Powell as unhinged and drug addled. They fell for the smearing rather quickly and gladly. Guiliani especially is very well respected in the R voter base, because he managed to take on the Mob in NYC, and stood firmly, as mayor of NYC through the 9/11 crisis. He has a logical, lawyerly mind, and would not make accusations unless he has proof. Neither would Powell for that matter. Perhaps Fox should have listened to them TBH. I wonder if there was some glowing pressure.
Do you think any of this can be proven? I know a Lot of people on here know a lot about Dominion it just seems overwhelming to understand. It’s not my job though like the people at Fox. They should be curious.
Yes, they should be curious, but it seems they shut the conversation down.
