Over at Hullabaloo we read that Fox’s right wing competitors have utterly failed to cover the Dominion lawsuit and the unsurprising revelations that Fox’s on air personalities were knowingly lying to their viewers about the 2020 election, among a host of other things. Digby concludes:
This just shows how homogenous the right wing media sphere is. Even Fox’s competitors won’t show their audience what Fox did. And the reason Fox did what they did was because the audience was leaving them and going to those very competitors! I guess the right is just now all about the grift and actual competition and capitalism are no longer relevant. Amazing.
I’m sure Digby is also aware of the underlying reason why Fox’s competitors have remained silent. If they were to cover the story, they would have to turn somersaults to avoid letting on that the lies the Fox people were telling are the same lies they themselves are endorsing. After all, they are knowingly lying to their viewers as well, and the last thing they want to do is acknowledge in any way, shape or form that the election was not stolen since it follows as the night the day that they too have been lying to their viewers. Not that their viewers would conclude that they had been lied to in the past; they would instead conclude that they were being lied to in the present, and they would go elsewhere as they did to Fox when it made the mistake of calling Arizona for Biden.
