Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, July 31, 2024

Defendant David Howard blamed "Fox News" for pushing the "lies sold to him and millions of others" for resulting in his role in the Capitol riot in 2021, which came after "the media" convinced him the preceding presidential election was rigged against former President Donald Trump.

He came to Washington, DC, from Dallas (via Miami), on January 6th alone because he was led to believe " from his local media and large swaths of the community around him at home " that his vote for Mr. Trump in 2020 had been stolen; that the election had been stolen."

This pud sounds like the MAGA filth on this site.

MAGA filth on this site.

Almost 70 percent of Republicans believe the 2020 election was stolen. It's still a pretty wide spread delusion among CONservatives.

magats are always the victim and looking to blame someone else for their own screw ups.

Sack up traitor, you crossed the lines. The barricades were not there for decoration.

When you hand the every word of a compulsive liar you get what coming to you.

What a pud is right.

They prove that you can live with just one functioning brain cell.

How many of these people claim remorse in court and the crow that they fooled the man when their light sentence is done?

He believed what he wanted to believe. He sucked it up like a man dying of thirst.

If there was a law against lying during a campaign, Trump would be serving a life term and FOX would be filing for bankruptcy.

He's just another brainwashed sucker with no case.

Who ever controls the media controls the elections. All dictators know this. I think most people watch Fox in good faith truly believing they are not being lied to everyday. They believe what they are told and shown. Local newspapers have disappeared and been replaced by ultra hate for profit type radio. They own and run most of the national radio networks in the US like Sinclair which have killed most all progressive talk stations in the US. Elon bought Twitter to control the messaging. CNN was neutered, destroyed and it's progressive hosts fired. Now Ellison thru his son has bought Paramount which owns CBS News so the writing is now on the wall to ax the current journalists and covert it into Fox2, a Project 2025 for the nation's media is already becoming a reality.

I think he has legitimate grounds to sue Fox News.

I don't think so. He didn't have to watch FOX. He coulda changed channels. So, why didn't he?

That's a question a jury might ask.

I have long said, what Rupert Murdoch created,
with the birth of Faux News, represents one of the
longest, unprosecuted crime sprees in American History.

He convinced Reagan, back in the 80's, to change the
U.S. Broadcast News regulations, that had to cite factual
statements, into the modern birth of Infotainment. In
other words, "News people" can now pretty much blather on
about just about anything, and try to pawn it off as factual
and newsworthy, without actually having to be factual or
newsworthy.

What Murdoch has done to American News, equates to what the
NRA has done to gun proliferation and gun control in America.

It's the 'Wild West' out there baby! Anything is fair game!
Anything can happen! The man is a criminal, who is trying (and
succeeding) in tearing down the fabric of the nation.

While most likely true it is not going to help with the court. I am so old that I remember when the American news media was pretty responsible, and truth telling.

He was so horrified by the coverage he flew to DC, joined a riot, and forced his way into the Capitol to show how much he didn't believe it.

Any sane person would be horrified at all of the disinformation coming from both parties. The only ones that aren't are the ones who have been so completely groomed by their party to think a certain way that they refuse to believe their party does anything wrong. And, unfortunately, that demographic is only growing which is really hurting this country.

"It's the 'Wild West' out there baby! Anything is fair game!

But it's not. We have hundreds of thousands of laws, if not millions, across the country that ensures it's not the Wild West. Problem is, and I really hate to blame one party for this but in this case the proof is in the pudding, Dems are so busy trying to make sure people are not held responsible for breaking those laws that it is becoming more like the Wild West. Dems are so busy changing laws to protect the criminals instead of the victims that it does seem like anything is fair game. Which, if you are an objective person, you can see is the EXACT thing that Reagan did but instead of learning from it and not doing it again, Dems are one-up'ing each other to do it.

You're funny Hummer. An absolute liar and a hopeless right wing ideologue,
but funny...

I got over being horrified by what Fixed News is doing years ago.

Now I am just deeply saddened by what they think is ok for them to do to America.

Because they can.

"Dems are so busy trying to make sure people are not held responsible for breaking those laws that it is becoming more like the Wild West. "

Did you wipe yourself after that maga dump?

Democratic Senator Menendez just got convicted for corruption. And no democrats tried to "make sure he was not held responsible ".

Trumpy has 34 felony convictions. (In which he is currently avoiding paying his debt to society)

And 60 some criminal indictments that everyone in the maga cult continues to help him to avoid delay and obstruct from being held accountable and responsible for.
