Fox News criticized a promotional video in which opinion hosts echoed baseless claims about Donald Trump’s presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden, but he refused to accept.
The American liberal media watchdog, Reverend Lure Rance of Media Matters, wrote on Twitter, “Oh my God.” “Fox is running a promo of their ‘opinion’, and is still hosting the election results and I believe I’m trying to save their ruthless viewers.”
CNN “The video shows Rupert Murdoch-owned channel officials” really no shame, “said Cy Lever Darcy, a media reporter with the company.
In a short video, an announcer introduces the motto of “And America believes in America.” Laura Ingraham is shown first, saying: “This legal effort is crucial.”
It refers to cases in which Trump has lashed out at major war-torn states, voting without evidence that voter fraud and ballot irregularities have occurred, and seeking to overturn results through repetition.
Such quicksotic efforts have met with little success and experts say they are almost guaranteed to fail. With more than 5 million votes in the popular vote, Trump lost the election college to Biden by 306-232, by which he defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, in which he claimed it was a landslide.
On the Fox News video, Tucker Carlson continues: “There are obvious irregularities.”
“The media mob and the Democrats, they’re lying,” says Sean Hannity.
The announcer says, “Talk about the most important issues for you and the people.
“They thought there would be a blue wave, not the case,” says Steve Dusi of the morning show Fox & Friends in favor of Trump. In fact Doozy’s remarks point to an electoral truth: Trump attracted the highest number of votes of any sitting president, and prevented the expected landslide defeat, and at the Republican state level and in the U.S. The House benefited and looks set to retain control of the Senate. .
“You’ll see something more than Trump in 2022 and 2024,” says Greg Gutfeld, referring to the next two election years.
“The truth doesn’t have to come out,” Ingram says.
“Can we speak freely, again, can we come back to America?” Asks Carlson.
“We people deserve better,” Hannity says.
“Fox News,” says the advertiser. “America is watching.”
Trump has attacked Fox News since the election, in which it was quick to say the important state of Arizona was named for Biden, then joined other media organizations in calling the entire race for Democrats last Saturday.
On Thursday, Trump tweeted that “Fox News daytime ratings have completely collapsed.” “Weekend Daytime in Worst. It was very sad to see this happen, but they forgot what made them successful, what got them there. They forgot the Golden Swan. The biggest difference between the 2016 election and 2020 was Fox News! ”
CNN’s Darcy writes that the Fox News video “seems to be part of a bid to capture its bleeding audience – an audience that refuses to believe reality, largely because Fox has made millions noble to distrust reliable news sources.”
Such conspiracy theories have been violated in Fox News’ “direct” news operation.
In the four days since the results were called, Media Matters said, Fox News has at least 255 times questioned or pushed conspiracy theories about the election results. The Media Matters review found 111 such claims on Fox’s ‘live news’ show and 144 claims on the network’s opinion show. ‘
“Where are the adults on Fox?” Darcy asked. “Why don’t they control their talents? Well, this ad makes it clear: officials Approved Their talents behave like them. In fact, they are very proud of the democratic comment, they are happy to display it in advertising. They really have no shame. ”
