their 2020 election coverage was so biassed and often wrong that it now faces more than one billion dollars lawsuit over its coverage of issues like voting machines and, although we will cover how those cases are ultimately resolved, fox is pulling back. they ve already done on-air retractions under that legal heat, so not a normal debate. something, according to the courts and lawsuit and their own retragss, something worse. while it s common for people to claim these days nothing matters and all the pressure s pointless, these hearings are testing fox s relationship with the insurrection and election in interesting ways. fox broke with all other news divisions to censor coverage of the first hearing, going full cancel culture other than show viewers their hearing where they might have viewers make up their own mind.
court. you look at the amount of the attention the big networks gave the issue on sunday. the answer is zero. zero minutes given to the question as to whether or not people like kavanaugh and his family will be given protection. what does that tell you, brit? it tells me this. the broadcast networks have placed themselves, by the way they cover things, at the service of one party, the democratic party. in the hearing the other night, so-called, there were two republicans. both handpicked by democratic speaker nancy pelosi. in the meantime we have what appear to be quite one obviously real threat against brett kavanaugh and the possibility of further threats against amy coney barrett and perhaps others. this is a big deal or should be. the fact that it merits so little coverage should tell people all they need to know about what kind of news divisions and what kind of attitude these networks have.
bret mayor mentioned on fox news sunday, but abc, cbs, cnn, not a peep, and brit hume who used to work for one of those networks said this about that this morning. the fact it merits so little coverage should tell people all they need to know about what kind of news divisions and what kind of attitude these networks have. john: jonathan, the news cycle moves quickly, it does move on at some point but seemed to be a pretty rapid departure from the news of the week. no, it was almost as shocking as the original story that it was not a story for most of the media this weekend. you know, this was not a guy who was tweeting in tulsa, this was a black clad individual standing outside the house of a sitting supreme court justice with a glock handgun, zip ties, and a
kavanaugh. an event largely ignored by the networks. brit hume last hour with dana and me pointing out the double standard at play. the broadcast networks have placed themselves, by the way they cover things, at the service of one party, the democratic party. we have one very real threat against brett kavanaugh and the possibility of further threats against amy coney barrett and perhaps others. this is a big deal or should be. the fact that it merits so little coverage should tell people all they need to know about what kind of news divisions and what kind of attitude these networks have. bill: we ll get into that this hour as we await. with us a great group. martha maccallum, anchor of the the story . katie pavlich, jonathan turley, and marie harf former state department spokesman. thank you for being here. i ll start with the legal mind, professor turley, what do you
news could be a profit center. and that focused a lot of attention on us. a lot from people in wall street, for instance. if you think about the news divisions of cbs, nbc and abc, they were part of a really proud tradition. a journalistic tradition that really matters. we serve the public. this is not about profit and loss. the people who worked at those news divisions were totally freaked out by what it meant that they were now owned by these larger corporate entities. the television news isn t profitable at some point, there won t be any more television news on the networks. i worry about people who are interested only in money and power getting hold of television. it has higher purposes than that. we have seen the news, and it is us. get behr exterior stains at an everyday low price. exclusively at the home depot. you know real chili never has beans. you know which pizza is eaten with a fork and a knife. and which one is definitely not. you know a cappuccino is for the mo
