discovery of dominion an unearthing all of these tax, much more information, you wouldn t then be giving more ammunition to smartmatic i their case you wouldn t then be givin more ammunition to abb grossberg and what she alleges happened, right? so, they re all intertwined. so, you could argue that the murdochs finally said, you know, enough, because tucker carlson has his fingerprints in all of these different areas. i still think, though, that he case, because they said they v cleaned up culture there, still think that that on supersedes anything else you know, cable news is a word business, but one of th things that we know that folks at fox as a matter of public record are obsessed with our ratings. they are totally obsessed with them, to the extent that the have these minute by minute, they ve got these, you know, folks who are sitting in editorial meetings telling the you have to do this. in fact, that was the origin if you listened to dominion theory of the case in that lawsu
