https://popular.info/p/murdoch-exposedNote: Legum, among other things, was the Research Director for Hillary Clinton's Presidential campaign (my words)
'On Monday night, Dominion Voting Systems filed a document as part of its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News... During Trump's campaign, [News Corp CEO] Rupert [Murdoch] provided Trump's son-in-law and senior Advisor, Jared Kushner, with Fox confidential information about Biden's ads, along with debate strategy.
While this..is an allegation and not a fact, Dominion signaled in its citation that it has significant evidence to back it up. Dominion says the allegation is substantiated by two passages of Murdoch's deposition, which has not been released in full, and another exhibit likely an email or text message.
The behavior described in the Dominion filing is deeply corrupt. Fox News was entrusted with Biden's campaign ads in advance because the Biden campaign trusted it to operate as a legitimate news corporation. Murdoch abused that trust in an effort to give the Trump campaign an edge in the 2020 election.'

They all need to be held to account and punished for their treason. Even if they didn't do it for pooptin, they did it for power and wealth which makes them the enemy themselves.
This has to be addressed and pretty fucking fast. Maybe this will prompt Biden to replace Wray. Perhaps hes been waiting to see who is a candidate he can trust.

Deep down, Trump knows hes a loser. I love his self-hatred that melted his soul. His personal miseries uplift me!

I don't believe for a minute the agreement they had did Not include an NDA.
But when you're a crook, you're a crook.

FIRST of all, the cable networks must stop forcing us to pay for Faux Noise even though we have no intention of ever watching. That's where Faux gets a lot of their working capital. If the Faux stations ever became optional that we must order and pay extra for - I predict that about 75% of American cable viewers would drop it immediately.
Once they lose that huge revenue stream, they'll need to charge more for their advertising and compete with the other cable channels. Having lost a lot of so-called "viewers" it won't be so attractive having to pay more for your advertising to be seen on this hideously biased and lying channel. A lot of the top shelf advertisers would drop out of the Faux line-up.
In a short time Faux Noise would be out of business.
