      Rupert Murdoch Lies at the Heart of Democracy's Destruction Worldwide

      If our media and body politic are infected with a cancer — driven by an unending thirst for profits, regardless of the damage it does — it's our responsibility as Americans to call it out.

      What country in its right mind would allow a foreign entity to come into their country, set up a major propaganda operation, and then use it to so polarize that nation that its very government suffers a violent assault and its democracy finds itself at a crossroads?

      Apparently, the United States. And we’re not the first, according to former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

      Dominion Voting Systems has provided a public service for the American people.

      As a result of its pending defamation lawsuit against Fox News, Dominion has laid bare the extraordinary con game that Fox carried out in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election and that continues today.

      Fox elevated and affirmed for their millions of viewers former President Donald Trump’s Big Lie that the election was stolen from him by giving airtime to Trump’s team. But even as they put them on the air, Fox hosts and executives admitted privately that they knew they were airing lies and “insane” conspiracy theories.

      The big three Fox propagandists, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham privately complained about their lying guests. But they never bothered to tell this to their viewers. Their texts, obtained by Dominion as part of the lawsuit, also reveal that some worried they would lose viewers if they actually told the truth.

      Today, Trump continues to peddle his Big Lie — and so does Fox News.

      Dominion, Tucker Carlson, and the Very Big and More Dangerous Lie

      The lying about Dominion is symptomatic of much bigger, deeper, and more insidious Big Lies.

      The Dominion lawsuit against Fox News has gotten a great deal of attention, and rightly so, for it raises fundamental questions about democracy in the U.S. and the ways that it is profoundly corrupted and seriously endangered by an alliance of right-wing media and the Republican Party. And yet beneath the lying exposed in the case are the more dangerous lies at the heart of MAGA ideology. And whether or not the notorious liars at Fox News Corp. believed anything they were saying about Dominion, there is no doubt that the deeper lies remain articles of faith for Fox and the Republican party.

      The facts of the case are pretty straightforward.
