Fox stopped WH only 1 time after Arizona called election for Biden despite calls from the White House that night. All about the $$$$.

Murdoch Testified Fox Commentators 'Endorsed' Trump's 2020 Election Lie

Quote

Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch testified that Fox News's popular commentators "endorsed" Donald Trump's false claim that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, even though Murdoch said he doubted the conspiracy theory right away, according to a filing in a defamation lawsuit.

"Some of our commentators were endorsing it,” Murdoch said while being questioned under oath in a $1.6 billion suit by Dominion Voting Systems Inc., which included excerpts of the deposition in a court filing Monday.

"About the endorsement of a stolen election?” a lawyer asked.

"Yes,” Murdoch said. "They endorsed.”

Fox News is accused of helping to promote false claims that the voting-machine maker flipped millions of electronic ballots away from Trump as part of a vast conspiracy involving corrupt Democrats and foreign hackers — a claim still touted by the former president and many of his allies.

Murdoch testified that he seriously doubted Trump's conspiracy theory right away....

...Viewing Biden Ads

In its filing Monday, Dominion said Murdoch was cozy with Trump's campaign, going so far as to give Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner access to "Fox confidential information about Biden's ads, along with debate strategy.”

Even so, Murdoch declined to help Trump after Fox declared that Biden was the winner in Arizona, Dominion said.

"My friend Jared Kushner called me saying, 'This is terrible,’ and I could hear Trump's voice in the background shouting,” Murdoch testified, according to the filing. "And I said, 'Well, the numbers are the numbers.’”

When Fox called the election for Biden on Nov. 7, 2020, Rupert Murdoch "lamented" to his son, Fox Corp. co-Chairman Lachlan Murdoch, that things could have been handled differently, according to Dominion's filing....

...Paul Ryan, the former Speaker of the US House who joined Fox's board of directors in 2019, sent Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch a text message on Dec. 6, 2020, about a month after the election, blasting Trump's behavior.

"We are entering a truly bizarre phase of this where [Trump] has actually convinced himself of this farce and will do more bizarre things to delegitimize the election,” Ryan said, according to Dominion's filing...

Today, Trump is still pushing fraud 2020 election. Fully expect Fox to settle Dominion lawsuit to prevent larger verdict possibly multiplied for punitive damages from all the Fox testimony released to date.

One Fox host Howard Kurtz stating not allowed to discuss lawsuit in his Fox Media Buzz show. The evidence being uncovered in the Dominion case shows that Fox News is not at its core a news network as news orgs tell the truth to viewers. These documents show that Fox knew the truth, but peddled election lies to its audience. The case is scheduled to go to trial in April.

Politico: Murdoch and other Fox execs agreed 2020 election was fair but feared losing viewers, court filing shows

Sure hope that FOX will be made to broadcast a retraction on all evening shows as clear implication for 2024 elections.

They should have to broadcast the retractions everyday, during all of the popular programming slots, for many many days.

Reporting involved putting the known facts and details of a specific event or issue out into the public space. The who, what, when, where, how, why of things. Reporting on the specific demographics of the people involved in an incident is simply noting facts. A description of the involved people might include physical or emotional observations. There's no reason not to report these finite details and facts.

That seems a bit of a stretch, the notion that any violence against a black man committed by a white man is tantamount to lynching. Maybe you can't see how a random white man thinking that he can physically restrain a black kid by grabbing his neck... simply because he THINKS there's been some infraction, reflects a culture where blacks did not share our current freedoms or rights. It takes a long time to grow fully out of that cultural influence. It wasn't that long ago in our history that if a white man made a credible accusation against a black man it ended very poorly for the black man because the white men felt they had every right to punish the accused. So they grabbed them. Till was lynched the year before my wife was born, I was 6. George Floyd was lynched in 2020, my grandson turned 6.

Of course it's okay to suspect a black of committing a crime against a white. That seems like a silly question. Lots of black people are in jail because they committed crimes against white people or black people or Asians or... businesses. Crimes get regular people arrested rather quickly a good bit of the time. People who commit crimes should be punished and helped to make better choices and find sustainable life work.

late to the party --- Maybe I read this wrong but I don't think it's okay to suspect a black person of committing a crime against a white person simply because he's black. Unless Roitrn is saying that we should just based of color not think blacks commit crimes against white. That does seem silly and doesn't need to be said, but that's not what was meant was it?? If so, then ignore my post and I understand

No. That's not what I was saying. It seems that when a crime against a POC by a white person , it is mentioned, sometimes emphasized, that the offender is white. Even when it was not a racially motivated crime.

Then the opposite when the racial demographics are reversed.

I was referring to racial media bias.

In the aftermath of the March 27 Nashville Christian elementary school shooting by a reportedly transgender shooter that left six dead, there was clear bias by omission on display — not just in the media, but also from our president.

When past mass shootings took place inside religious institutions, President Joe Biden mentioned the victims' religious beliefs and often mentioned hatred against their communities — but not so in the case of Nashville.

Biden has yet to mention the Christian faith of the Nashville victims or point to any sJust weeks ago, for instance, Biden was comfortable attributing the 2021 Atlanta spa shooting to an unconfirmed motive and the targeting of a group — anti-Asian hatred — despite authorities saying the killer was motivated by sex addiction, not racism. Biden commemorated the 2-year anniversary of the Atlanta spa shooting by stating, "we are determined to end the scourge of gun violence, anti-Asian hate, and all forms of racism and extremism in this Nation.” upposed hatred against this group, despite similar remarks he has made following other shootings. Days later, however, Biden did release a Trans Day of Visibility statement accusing "MAGA extremists" of "advancing hundreds of hateful and extreme state laws that target transgender kids and their families,”

the case of the Nashville shooting, the only hatred or targeting of a group Biden mentioned in the days following was not of Christians, but of transgender individuals. He also has so far not mentioned that the shooting took place in a Christian school.

Some shameful bias from the POTUS.

Is it because of his declining cognition or is it the fear of backlash from far left extremist and politicians for calling out a hate crime from the trans- community? Etrermust also have the POTUS under fear.

Conclusion

Media outlets on the right were more likely to cover the White House's omission of the Christian faith of those targeted in the Tennessee mass shooting. If you only read news from one side of the political spectrum, you could miss key details and perspectives.

The right was focused upon what they thought Biden omitted in his remarks. If you only get your news from one side you might think Biden's words or omissions were one of the important parts of this school shooting story.

The whole idea of the article was that it was bias by omission from media and Biden.

This was posted by Allsides pointing out the bias.

How do you get more information when left media doesn't report on it and even Biden ignores it? The lack of info was the point.

It's not the most important part of the story. The Bias is. What's is important that Biden and the media often call out any act of violence on any religion except Christian, even when all the fact are not known. There are several examples if you click on the link.

Is the right-leaning media covering the concern of students asking the Tennessee legislature to act on the issue of school shootings? Are they covering the ouster of black legislators while allowing a white legislator, who also stood with students, to keep her office?

Sure.

I quoted the summary from the ALLSIDES article you posted. Odd that it didn't say any of the things you are saying.

Because your focus is on what a politician may or may not have said... because of partisan angst and biased reporting... rather than the actual issue. You've made this abundantly clear.

Oh, I apologize. I thought this thread was about Comparing how news media headlines and reports on the same story.
