it doesn t actually undercut the legal standrd, which is what a lot of them were doing, it s a reckless regard for the truth. it being told what you re saying is a lie and going forward with it anyway. recklessness is the standard. and i think even beyond maria bartiromo, what you see is people very clearly admitting that they don t believe any of this, all the way to the top, and they re airing it anyway. what i think is really the most puzzling part of this is why fox hasn t settled as all of this damning information is coming out and i think part of it is that, ari, the audience for not watching your show. they re not fwog see that montage you put together. they are in their little bubble. i think fox may understand that if they were to settle, they would have to as a part of the
the idea that republicans are the party of fiscal discipline that was true in the eisenhower era. hasn t been true the last 50, 60 years. we have to go back further to find a republican who balanced the budget. we have had six republican presidents. none of them have been particularly good on fiscal discipline. and i think the better frame to understand our politics between democrats and republicans is the reason democrats are sort of better on deficits is the same reason they re better on the environment, climate change, and on education and investments in education, because democrats are sort of the party of the future. republicans are the party of the here and now, the tax cuts now, and conspiracy theories floating on facebook now. whatever culture war issues are salient now. critical race theory, trans rights, et cetera. those are the here and now issues involved with the culture that seems to be much more the
have the psychological components on look. chai, your response to all of the above, including the murdoch admission? i think the reason fox hasn t made a move to settle i have no real insight other than it just appears to me they ve gotten away with this for so long, the conservative movement gotten away with it so long why would it be any different? well, it does feel different. as a democrat i have watch in the frustration and horror at the ability of republicans and conservatives to maintain narratives for which there is little to no evidence. climate change denial is a good example, birtherism. they seem to be able to do this because they ve created a conservative media echo chamber that has allowed this to persist. that seems to me now to be breaking. and it would have wide implications for elections, for decades to come. hopefully this will be all for the best because we do need to live in a reality-based world,
shot down off the coast of myrtle beach a week ago. bryan llenas live in myrtle beach with the latest force. hooks jon, good evening. norad said they were able to recover some debris from underwater yesterday. but rough water conditions have forced the navy to temporarily suspend efforts to salvage the remainder of the chinese s bible and at least until monday we are told. now, most of the chinese spy airship remains underwater. fox hasn t learned a portion of the payload the size of a bus has been located is mostly is intact for this is where the bulk of onboard electronics are said to be. now, they re two separate debris areas 50 feet below the atlantic ocean the navy is using underwater unmanned vehicles and sonar technology to map the seafloor and help divers eventually bring the debris to the surface. divers have a limited amount of time they can spend before
unprecedented, but it is very rare for a congressional committee and a lot of risk and dangers can be presented by that. howard: yeah. and a lot of ideologically driven coverage. the washington post editorial page says he s citing with the enemies of democracy. that s pretty strong rhetoric. this is the thing that has disturbed me from the beginning, is when they re talking about the enemies of democracy. they re not just talking about the people who used violence at the capitol, which we can all agree was wrong. they re talking about the entire trump movement, really the entire republican party is how the media has begun to apply that terminology. and this attempt to almost criminalize half the country, to criminalize the trump movement at least if not the entire republican party, to me, has been the most dangerous and concerning aspect of this entire insurrectionaritive from the start. howard: fox hasn t covered either of these developments very much especially compared to the co
