The lawsuit filed against Fox News by Dominion Voting Services, set to go to trial on April 17, may turn out to be a seminal case in First Amendment jurisprudence, with effects that reach well beyond Fox.
There's another issue, indirectly related to the Fox case, that the media have bungled by ignoring it almost completely: the many anomalies that attended the 2020 election results.
Virtually none of the legacy media examined or even reported on these baffling anomalies, instead suggesting that all challenges to the vote were "Misinformation," and that all such that went to trial were thrown out by the courts.
Are we to believe, after all, that an overwhelming majority of legacy TV and newspaper reporters truly believed that the NY Post's Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation? Or that COVID didn't come from a Wuhan lab? And if they didn't believe those things, how is what they did any different than what Fox News did? And this isn't even to mention that the network's sources for the Dominion claims, like Rudy Giuliani and Sydney Powell, were part of Trump's election team, and therefore clearly newsworthy.
Absent any in-depth look by the media at the anomalies in 2020, we can't be sure, but the guess here is that Biden won the election courtesy of Mark Zuckerberg's hundreds of millions of dollars that stimulated extraordinary turnout in a handful of large, blue cities.
In other words, it's unlikely that the 2020 election was either stolen or illegal, but was instead marked by extraordinary circumstances, yielding extraordinary anomalies, that the media never bothered to look into, much less explain.
So which is worse? Fox News, which put on air surrogates for Trump who made allegations about Dominion that weren't true, and were disbelieved by Fox hosts and reporters, or the MSM, who resolutely declined to look into extraordinary and abnormal election practices as took place in 2020, and in the anomalies in the vote count thereafter?
