Fox is not on the gravy train they are building it

Fox News paid out hundreds of millions of dollars for its 2020 election denial campaign, and the network may still be on the hook for billions more. But Fox’s executives are either unchastened or can’t control their hosts, who have already begun laying the groundwork to delegitimize the results of the 2024 election.

One thought on “Fox’s 2024 election denial push is underway | Media Matters for America”

  1. Without equating Trump or his base supporters to any of history’s genocidal maniacs, the most frightful example of the philosophical justification ‘the end justifies the means’ is the pogrom, the primary implementers of which know they’re committing mass murder yet still genuinely perceive it all as part of an ultimately greater good.

    I seriously doubt there are many people out there gullible enough to genuinely believe Donald Trump was somehow cheated out of an election win.

    Most of the Capitol Hill rioters very likely maintain(ed) that line as an excuse for their attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s (apparently quite) legitimate electoral win — or at least make it as unpleasant as possible, as witnessed on January 6.

    Long before the last presidential-election day, Trump was saying he may not respect a Biden win, as though preparing his voter base for his inevitable refusal to leave office, whatever the vote-count results may be.

    The rioters (and Trump) may simply have been enraged enough at his defeat by the supposedly ‘socialist’ Biden (which he definitely is not) they were now going to go the immoral route.

    Or they may have believed he has to remain in office for some perceived greater good (e.g., to ‘save the nation’, etcetera), regardless of Trump’s democratically-decided election loss. … The end justifies the means.
