we re honored to have you take us off the air tonight and on that note, i wish you all a very good and safe night from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thanks for staying up late i will see you at the end of tomorrow this was the line to ge into the delaware courthouse with fox news was set to go on trial this morning the company was accused of defamation by the dominion voting systems corporation even the sheer number of lawyers showing up for thi trial today was impressive both the top side in the dominion, side looks like they had enough lawyers to form a soccer team in suits behind the courtroom a s mysterious walkway thing presumably for allowing jurors and high-profile witnesses t enter and exit the courtroom without being spotted, because there were going to be a lot o high-profile witnesses, an inside the court the lawyers and spectators were reportedly packed in like sardines. demean s legal team submitte more than 7000 exhibits, including vid
sense and also good intel from inside the courtroom, but do you have a sense of how, i mean, it feels like the admission of guilt here is the price tag of this settlement. and i wonder to what degree yo as a media reporter can surmis the impact that will hav inside effects in terms of the news gathering culture, or foxes culture at the network and whether or not this change the way business is done i think the way to thin about this is that there is three part concession here b fox. none of which may be fully satisfying to people who fel that the wrong wise profound and needed to be marked forward, not just for the moment for th history. but nonetheless, you have foxe acknowledgment that the cour had ruled that false statement were made. that was just a fact the judge did a lot of the wor of dominion before it by sayin these were false statements an these were defamatory, and the only question really left fo the jury, was should fox b
rightly, acknowledge the statement, as a steers it, was to its audience, so we will at least be aware of it in that limited way. i think fox will probably have lawyers sitting on their soldiers for some time to make sure that false and defamatory statements of fact are not presented knowingly to the public on their airwaves on the other hand, i do no expect the tone to change. i don t expect there to be any dearth of red meat i don t expect to be any pullback on the idea o culturally conservativ grievances presented to th public, or the notion that former president donald trum was treated unfairly by th deep state, by the mainstrea media and other elements fro fox, because that clearly th business model that has worked so well for fox in recent years, and they see no reason o desire to retreat from that. in fact, that headlong pursuit of that is what got fox in thi trouble in the first place this remedy will not prevent them from doing that it will prevent them from bein so specific.
rash of gun violence who has [interpreter] public policy must address. we have th unresolved issue of racism i this country. that is a proble that must be addressed. and we have superspreader platforms o social media and, unfortunately, fox news, along with local new channels that impregnate concepts of the fear of blac people and black men. we hav to address those things. the concept of watching a new loca news and the first seven minutes outside of the weather it is all about negative portrayals of black people and you give the name of the community. that creates a leve of fear and othering tha causes people to respond in th most negative and heinous ways against black people. and we continuously have the same typ of stories and unfortunately we must do something about i because we have not done anything about it today.
desantis what you need is humiliation around on trump. it s not going to be a revelation of what s happening this past. he s already given us plenty o things plenty of things for. that would assume really humiliating is a lot of people s finds who say too much, brother, we re moving on t something else that would take change the temperature. it would have to be a lot o people,. though it would have to be groundswell of conservativ saying you re a loser. sure, but those guys wh claim patriotism and have thos flag pins with a loo themselves in the mirror, look at that flag pan and say i car about this country, growers by until this man what is happening and maybe people wil listen to you. do you think, i wonder if the loser part of it, th humiliation part of it reall cuts to the core core of the psyche of the folks who want t believe in trump, who at one point listen to fox news and maybe airless and even mor conservative fair these days the part of this central promise of that
