Talking about. why so many powerful democrats would seve to give fox cover with that equivalence. even though its own viewers are more susceptible to believing false theories on all sorts of issues including the january 6th insurrection. there s a wider debate in the democratic party which did reject fox as a debate host in 2020 after having previously given the channel that honor to navigate and referee democratic party debates in previous cycles. this is a debate within the party. there are democrats who either truly believe or seem to accept the conventional wisdom that fox is like other media, or maybe they re trying to score some sort of centrist points by saying that. then there are others, including what we see in a newer generation that s so concerned about the cost real world of this propaganda that they see fox and other right-wing media as far more sinister. take the queens bridge artist nas, who wrote a whole long about this channel, lamenting,
Can t they get together? can t they work things snout that s very much the media narrative. it s also the media narrative that tends to root for bipartisanship, regardless of the policy consequences for the american people. so i do think that is a major problem. the reality is, when you talk about fox, you re not really talking about a romantic comedy. you re talking much more about a slasher film. you know, fox s information is out to kill democracy and it does and it has killed americans. you know, fox news in my opinion is much more freddy krueger than it is tom hanks. fair. and then you look at the way they have covered recent events, which biden s got to be aware of. here was their coverage of the insurrection. it does not appear violent. it s not like it s a siege. it seems like they re protesting. an overwhelming majority of them, 99%, more than 99% had to be, were peaceful. it s a constitutional right to engage in peaceful political
Dominion voting systems is currently suing fox for defamation because it says many guests were allowed to repeat blatantly false claims attacking their voting machines. this is not about opinion, which as a free speech person and a former first amendment practicing lawyer i will defend, including their opinions. this is about an entity that has news in the title but continues to make demonstrably false claims about all these issues. we have covered the covid angle before, and that is a danger to fox viewers. people who don t watch fox at all may have better information. when we report on that, we report on that because it s important and also out of direct concern about how a company that has its own vaccine policies and uses a lot of cdc style rules to keep its own workers safe is telling its viewers false things that might endanger them. and yet, we turn back to the news hook, as we call it in our business, of what joe biden was
When you listen to obama and biden, it was a warmed over beltway noodle cougal that made the argument you would have to get back to common facts by having less of fox and a bunch of other types of media. the evidence we just showed and some of what you said is actually, no, to get back to common facts, you have to remove the conspiracy theories wherever they are. if the studies show, don t take my word for it, i quoted pointer, wash po, quantitative research. to get rid of them, you have to go there, and you may not sound like you re matching the conventional wisdom, the koogal, as i call it, you just have to be clear about what the recipe is and bring people to that with the facts. so it s really interesting because biden said that, it caught our ear, but we had a lot of other news but it made for a good chai day. thanks for being here. thank you, ari. coming up, we know biden called it the bfd, a new
Suggestions about the 2020 election. even though the network s own decision desk counted up what everyone else found, the ballots that biden won. some of the most brazen acts of voter fraud to date. there is evidence of fraud. sworn affidavits saying people are forging signatures. tampering allegations to the dead people voting. how many dead people voted? amazing. what freer and fair elections we all have confidence in. a corrupt, stolen election. the election was stolen from a president. another independent study found fox cast doubt on the results about 800 times, they counted, just in two weeks after the election. so that affects fox viewers as well. a poll found 82% of fox viewers falsely and wrongly believe trump won. that may be a contribution of both trump s statements, the republican party, and fox itself.
